He could be a great player but the odd’s aren’t with him. Not even close. For that reason he shouldn’t go in the top 10. As far as his ego is concerned. Yes, every player in his position should believe he is the best. However, trying to prove it is done on the field, not by convincing others with your mouth.

At the very least, I believe he will go in the first 15 picks and that will translate into a new millionaire from Georgia.
Hopefully, his rather pedestrian 40 time, will not hurt him a whole lot. The young man has all of the instincts and a nose for the ball you could want for a LB. He also makes mighty good tackles and I confess that in my 3 years watching him, I never really saw him miss on one, or be too far out of position, unless he was double or triple teamed.

He had ZERO forced fumbles. You need to learn his stats better. He had 14.5 sacks, 85 tackles, 24.5 TFL, 1 interception and ZERO fumble returns.

End of 1st round.

Who care what he says now. He’s about to be a pro where acting like an ass is expected. He does his best talking on the field as you’ll see.

He led the country in:

Sacks — 14.5

Tackles For Loss — 24.5

Forced Fumbles — 7

He truly was the best defensive player in the country last season.

You generally shouldn’t use top 5 picks on running backs or linebackers. I personally believe that having elite talent at those positions is a luxury but not a necessity. Outside of All Day Adrian Peterson, I don’t see a single player in the NFL that is a true top 30 gamechanging player at those two positions.

If you are picking top 5 you should be only picking players that you believe can be absolute game changers. Well that or a left tackle just due to the incredibly low bust rate for top tier linemen.

Looks more like a WR or DB. And he ran a slow 40. This guy has “Bust” written all over him.

This is not a measure of whether or not he is humble, he’s on the trading block and must sell himself, believe in himself.

There is no other correct answer to that question. [shrug] In fact any other answer to that question would’ve drawn headlines, too.

He played in the best conference in NCAA football and was dominant on the field, as illustrated by his impressive stats. However, running a 4.85 at only 245 pounds is more indicative of a late round prospect. Great game tape (even for just a year as a starter), but the measurables don’t impress. Tough call for the scouts and GM’s.

Take your shot at running the 40 at the combine because if you run a bad time you can improve it at your Pro day. If you have a good time at the combine you can stand on that, however, if you pass on the combine you don’t get a milligan. And this guy badly needs a mulligan…too bad arrogance cost him that.

The Te’o comparisons are unwarranted and show your ignorance of the game. No one expects Jones to be a sideline to sideline tackler. He also didn’t disappear against Bama; on the contrary, he was key to UGA staying in the game.

Actually, this 40 time doesn’t surprise me one bit: Jones is one of those guys that’s a better player than he is an athlete. His 40 isn’t even all that bad: he’s on par with the potential top pass rusher’s combine # (Werner ran a 4.83, I believe).

The guy is no physical freak like Aldon Smith or JPP, but he’s a natural pass rusher and WAY more polished than either one of them was coming out. 40s aren’t as important as technique, leverage and burst. To give some perspective, I’ve heard that James Harrison ran a 5-second 40 coming out of Kent State. Show me his 10-yard though…if he ran a slow 10, that’s a different story.
