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.

And is it just me, or does the Brooks article write up not sound anything like Jason Campbell?

Is he gonna be depth? Or do you start him over Tamba or Houston?

I don't think we draft him. I think that he will be a Raider next year.

Bob, with Walrii in the fold it's Geno time.

If the two are directly related, why would you want to draft Jones AT ALL, let alone with the #1 overall pick?

For me, nothing but QB makes sense at this point.

Also, I'm not liking this.

Geno Smith and Matt Barkley still haven't accepted invites to the Senior Bowl.

If they're getting information that says they'll be the top 2 picks, ala Luck and Griffin, they have no reason to play in the Senior Bowl.

If I get 6 years and two pro bowls out of JJ I'm satisfied.

It doesn't. Bucky isn't very bright.

I guess.

But do you really see that being the case?

Absolutely.

This draft is weak at the top, at EVERY position.

O.city · 01-04-2013, 07:17 PM

You think Geno and Barkley are getting 1 and 2 raves?

I think Barkley will be highly sought after. He was a poster boy for getting overanalyzed this year. He's an intriguing prospect that I wouldn't laugh at any team for drafting.

O.city · 01-04-2013, 07:18 PM

If that is Woodsponge or whoever, I remember him being a huge Georgia fan, so I guess there ya go.

It's kind of the reason, if I were him, I'd have come out last year.

I wouldn't wanna go thru the whole over analyzing that he's gone thru for a whole year.

This year, he's likely a second rounder. Last year, he's the 3rd QB on the board.
