Potential top pick Jarvis Jones enters NFL draft
 
Potential top pick Jarvis Jones enters NFL draft

Jarvis Jones, a Georgia outside linebacker who is viewed as a potential first overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, has made his decision: He’s leaving school to go pro.
That decision has been expected all year, as Jones has been discussed as one of the best pro prospects in college football. ESPN’s Mel Kiper ranks Jones as the best player at any position in this year’s draft.
Jones has led the SEC in sacks in each of the last two seasons, and he also led the NCAA in forced fumbles in 2012. There may be questions, however, about whether he’s a consistent every-down player, and there could also be questions about his injury history: He started his college career at USC and transferred after the school’s doctors recommended that he quit football because of spinal stenosis. Georgia’s doctors have cleared him to play and he has had no further neck problems, but he did have ankle, groin and shoulder injuries that hampered him at times in 2012 and caused him to miss two games.
If Jones is healthy, however, scouts may drool over his ability to get to the quarterback. With the Chiefs owning the first overall pick in the draft, Andy Reid could be coaching Jones in Kansas City next year.

If we go 4-3 it would be almost worth taking this guy over a QB since Hali would become a DE. Almost.

What's worse is that he suggests we should take Jones if we're going to a 4-3.

Jones is a 3-4 OLB in the NFL.

BlackHelicopters 01-04-2013 11:54 AM

Reid will have a plan. I trust him with our QB situation, bringing in three new guys.

DJ's left nut 01-04-2013 11:55 AM

If Jarvis Jones were Clowney, I might care.

As it is, he's no better an OLB prospect than Smith is a QB prospect and we need the QB significantly more.

Dayze 01-04-2013 11:55 AM

if we aren't taking a QB at 1 (which I think is reeruned), I'd rather have Jones than T'eo etc.

Molitoth 01-04-2013 11:57 AM

JFC people, we don;t even have a DC yet or know WHAT defense we will even be playing in.

You don't draft people that doesn't fit your scheme.

In a 3-4, overkill.

In a 4-3, none of them really fit.

Pin Head 01-04-2013 12:23 PM

J Jones is going to be the #1 overall pick. I think it's a lock that he will be no less than the 3rd overall pick. His attitude and approach to the game are unparalleled.

ROFL

After the combine, he'll probably fall to the late 1st.

Damontre Moore is a superior prospect in nearly every way.

Buckweath 01-04-2013 12:45 PM

Chiefs are drafting a QB at #1 overall all day but really, this defense needs much more help at the Dline position than LB. I don't believe you can be an elite defense without some strong Dline play and now we only have Poe who might become great and nothing else much good.

That being said, of course if you see Jones as Von Miller, you take him.

I really cooled on Jones as the season progressed. He's just way too easy to neutralize by running right at him.

And his back issues aren't gonna go away...the combination of those two factors makes him a very risky pick high in the draft.

Then yeah, he's a better prospect than Jones as well.

Jarvis is a similar prospect to Coples and should probably go at around the same spot. I think Coples has more upside than Jones, but Jones has less of an attitude issue (though more of an injury risk).

Well I'll say this. If the Chiefs were to mess this up and somehow not draft QB #1, might as well be this guy.

Better that some other options I've heard.

Not really. He's at best the 2nd-best pass rusher in the draft, can really only play 3-4 OLB, and has spinal stenosis.

He's one of the worst options at #1 overall actually.

The Franchise 01-04-2013 02:11 PM

If they don't draft a QB....then it will be because they draft Moore. And that's only going to happen if they go back to the 4-3 and they don't think that Hali and Houston can be bookends.

I didn't know about his spinal issues. That's definitely a factor.

I suppose I was speaking more towards the fact that I'd rather take a pass rusher vs a LT or MLB but obviously health concerns are important.

Hopefully will be a moot point and we'll just take the best QB.

O.city 01-04-2013 02:22 PM

If it were me and we are sticking with a 34, we need pass rushers on the dline. Not at OLB, we have those.

ChiefMojo 01-04-2013 02:27 PM

I would love Jones if we didn't have Hali and Houston. Not a position of need. Frankly with the #1 pick, it has to be QB or at worst LT.

O.city 01-04-2013 02:32 PM

With new Gm's and HC's. We don't currently have a QB worth keeping on the roster and even if we had an average one, it would be an uphill battle for him to stick around. It's just the way things go.

So, currently no QB, new HC, GM etc, and the first overall pick.

It's really not that hard to put two and tow together.

While I hate the thought of taking a LT so high, I'd be a lot more willing to listen to it if there was a great LT in this draft. There isn't.

Joeckel is about the 5th-best tackle in the last 4 or 5 years.

It just depends really. Even if there were a Jake Long, look how that worked out for the Phins.

I realize you can't just throw your rookie QB to the wolves, but you also have to get the rookie QB to start.


It's pretty easy. Re Sign Albert. Done.

Thats not as crazy as it looks at first glance when you consider the stuff the professional experts are saying about Geno Smith. NFL.com is comparing Geno to Jason Campbell. Chiefs might as well just take Jones #1 and then trade for Jason Campbell. Lookit the NFL.com QB Analysis:

NOT THE ANSWER: Teams looking to answer their QB question aren't going to find one in the 2013 draft

By Bucky Brooks
Analyst, NFL.com and NFL Network
Published: Jan. 2, 2013

1) Geno Smith, West Virginia

Smith faltered down the stretch against the tougher defenses of the Big 12; scouts started to have concerns about his ability to find his secondary options in the route progression when opponents take away his primary receiver with blanket coverage. He struggled to consistently identify the open receiver in games against Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas Tech, a trend that continued in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl against Syracuse. Although Smith completed 66.7 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and zero interceptions, he was sacked three times and repeatedly looked confused when the Orange took away his No. 1 option. As a result, Syracuse blew out West Virginia, 38-14.

Pro comparison: Jason Campbell

That's laughable. Geno might not work out in the NFL but he's nothing like Jason Campbell.

mcaj22 01-04-2013 02:44 PM

This guy is pretty good.

Maybe he's not a fit for us because of what we have at OLBer, but still, this guy is a talent. Some team will be happy to have him in the top 5/top 3/maybe even #1 overall (if we can trade the #1 pick for 2 or 3 and still get our QB, who gives a shit. This guy will be coveted, that could help in our favor)

He is a good player, but he's probably not the best pass rusher int he draft plus he has a fairly big medical concern.

The first overall pick should be spent on a pick that addresses why you have the worst record to begin with.


No other position put us where we are now more than QB and better be addressed first and foremost.

J Jones work ethic and stamina are second to none. Also, it's extremely difficult to measure desire and drive. There have been tons of guys with a lot of talent who have fallen flat on their faces. JJ is another Von Miller and guys who have the ability AND desire to work...they become legendary.

Well, somebody is gonna get a "legendary" player in the late 1st round then...

RealSNR 01-04-2013 05:26 PM

NOT ADVOCATING THIS IN THE LEAST, BUT...

How would Demontre Moore do as an undersized DE in a 1-gap 3-4 defense? He looks like he's got the height and the long arms... just not sure if he has the low center of gravity.

Remember, JJ Watt was a tad oversized coming out of Wisconsin as a 4-3 DE. He's been balls**** amazing as a 3-4 guy.

O.city 01-04-2013 05:29 PM

Another thing that, IMO, advocates taking a QB first overall, is for every other positional guy you bring up, there is someone later in the draft who fits what we would need from his spot.

TEo? Yeah Skov is perfect beside DJ. Would Teo be better? Maybe. But you can get the best QB prospect available and still get a great ILB.


Hell, I guess same can be said about QB by some, but I think the difference between Geno and Wilson to the next QB group is too big to pass over.

Marco Polo 01-04-2013 05:30 PM

He said, yeah I guess.
