What's not to like about a dude that trips over his own dick?

I feel more comfortable with this pick now that I've seen his penis.

I'm just concerned about this dude not working hard enough once he gets paid.

Oh, OK, I misunderstood you. I was thinking you meant put him in as the nose on a regular basis. |
Whatever. Let's roll, Jones!!!

Xavien Howard Howard is all about potential. When he gets it right, he looks like Richard Sherman. Has the kind of length and ability to run deep with players that can make it very hard to find a window to complete the pass on him. He’s another player that fits the size and speed profile NFL teams are looking for, stands over 6-feet tall, clears 200-pounds, and ran a 4.41 second 40-yard dash https://www.profootballfocus.com/blo...ard-cb-baylor/ |

"To some degree I believe a team can motivate a guy to bring effort on a more consistent basis, but it’s still a big red flag. What’s crazy, however, is even with a handful of poor plays he still graded out so dominantly. If he puts it all together, Jones’ ceiling is as high as anyone in this class, and the scary thing is he’s barely scratching the surface right now. Where does that kind of potential fit in the NFL draft? I’m on record in the PFF offices saying I’d take him in the top five picks, but more realistically, with the risk he presents I’d say once he slips past pick No. 10 the value is too good to pass up. The pick No. 11-14 range of Chicago, New Orleans, Miami and Oakland is the sweet spot where every team could benefit from his services. Anywhere farther down than that and one very lucky team is getting the steal of the draft." |
Just keep accumulating talent. Some of you guys are HUUUUUGE morons.
|
This guy is one of the more dominant talents in the draft. This board is mostly dumb AF. People hated the Poe pick too.

I figured he'd go bottom of the first or top of the second. He's a disruptive influence and he has the physical tools to be an impact player. It's not a bad pick. |
The pundits are universally raving about this pick.
I'm not giving an opinion because I haven't studied up on this kid, but the media seem to love it. |

Said a third scout: "Loves football. Kind of a selfish guy. More into just him. Probably quicker than fast. I just didn't see great top-end speed." Started 26 games, finishing with 44 tackles (four for loss), no picks and 11 PBUs. Wonderlic of 12. "Other than Kelvin Benjamin a couple years ago, in the ACC he has not faced up with much," a fourth scout said. "He's got to play inside. He's not ready for prime time outside. I see guys separate on him every now and then. I do think he's a good athlete and can become a starter. He's highly confident and ain't afraid to tell everybody. He's third round for me."

Jones is going to wreck it.

Or they just don't understand how good teams draft long term. Which is understandable, since we've been put through decades of Carl Peterson and Scott Pioli. |
So Poe is as good as gone huh. Makes me sad.

Love this pick.

Sorry if this has already been asked. Outside of Chris Jones reviews being very good, etc. Am I the only one slightly concerned on using a high 2nd round pick on a rotational player where we already have depth? I understand some say this mean Poe will be gone or whatever. That's to be determined. I'm just amazed we didn't address a bigger need to fill a potential starter and be more of an impact.

So you feel he has more talent than Jones? Not nit picking, just asking. |

We might have the best Dline in the NFL. |

He'll be a rotational player but keep in mind, Jaye Howard only signed a 2 year deal and will be 29 when that contract expires. Jones is only 21. His comp is Muhammed Wilkerson. |

I don't know anything about him, but that tape of him vs. LSU is kind of concerning. He loafs A LOT. He showed a couple moments of dominance, but other than that it was kind of ugly.

I've never watched the kid play a down, but there does seem to be something to the raw descriptions, those clips highlighting his weaknesses werent so hot Maybe its just the position that isnt slaying me, wanted some instant impact sizzle at CB or an OLB prospect, we'll see... I'm willing to give Dorsey a mulligan here |
Quote:

It could be a chicken or the egg argument, but does a CB benefit more from DL play, or does a DL benefit from CB play? I tend to believe the former.
|
Remember when Baltimore was amazing at defense yet the kept drafting defense every year?
They knew what their identity was, and built upon it. |

In the new NFL with no huddle you have to have versatile DL who can play multiple techniques. Especially at NT... 1-dimensional NTs are liabilities. These guys don't grow on trees. And with Devito retiring, we don't have good enough depth. Now you can keep Poe fresh and give Howard more flexibility to move around. He doesn't have to start to make a huge impact. |

I like that Poe is going get a breather so he can be fresh in the fourth quarter when we need him the most. That's what I'm hoping this is the reason for the Chris Jones pick is for fourth quarter dominance. With our scoring challenged offence we need that stout defense.
|
He won't be primarily be a NT. Hes a rotational player along the line that projects to take Jaye Howard's job when Howard's contract runs out. Howard is only on a two year deal. Jones looks to be a DE in a 3-4. He'll play Devito's role. Poe isn't going anywhere.

For Jones being such a slam dunk, I sure don't remember seeing his name mentioned in the last 2 days around here.

Not bad

Denver had a great pass rush everywhere. So did the NYG. So did the Ravens. So did the Seahawks. So did the Steelers. Pass rush is the most imporant part of winning a championship. Not QB. |
PERFECT THEME SONG FOR THE PICK

Dorsey's philosophy of BPA is right. He had turned this franchise around from a utter destruction. Dorsey knows what he's doing. He's making this a top 3 defense.

Keep in mind that Jaye Howard had a reputation for quitting on plays when he was at Florida. Gotta give Sutton credit for this much, his players play tough.

Had they took a S, replacement for Berry. ILB, replacement for DJ. Dee Ford was supposedly replacement for Houston, but that wasn't true. The list can go on and on. Good teams build depth, they got a player with a 1st round grade in 2nd. Good for them. Depth matters. |
