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.

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's gonna drop after the combine medicals.

Marcus McNeil fell all the way to the 2nd round.

He's no Jamarcus Russell, that's for sure.

Arrowhead should be erased from history if we get another retread QB.

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...

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.

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.

ESPN just said Chiefs should draft him.

smh

O.city · 01-04-2013, 05:32 PM

I actually said this to a friends patient today. We were talking Chiefs and he said "yeah but we get the first pick in a year where we need a QB and there isnt' a Luck available".

I hit him back with a "Yeah we have the overall first pick, in a normal draft year, the same kinda year where Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, etc were drafted".

He said, yeah I guess.

FYI, if it wasn't obvious before, everybody now knows that Narrow Head is BlackBob...

I just think Moore is a stud. A good coach could find a place to use him.

O.city · 01-04-2013, 05:34 PM

Like we've said, alot lately.

With new Gm's and HC's come new QB's. Add to that having hte first overall pick, it isn't hard to figure out what is likely to happen.

I think he has all of the attributes at this point. I also think that he goes much higher than late 1st round.
