Chris Jones – NFL Draft Countdown

a video of him

Haha yeah I saw he had a wardrobe malfunction. Just think what his 40 time could be if that didn't happen. I've watched a few of his games and I just love the fight in the kid. I saw him only take a few plays off in about a 3-game span which for a guy his size is pretty impressive. Like I said really raw skills. Has no clue how to use his hands so probably not a ton of production year 1 but year 2 and on I think he could become a great player.

Not sure we draft a DT in round one with the quality of DT throughout the draft.

 

[randymon]

Not sure that combine moved him up in the draft but I heard he's gotten real popular with the ladies since.

But it all depends on how much you value a player too. Not just the position strength.

If you cluster a bunch of DT's together of course wait on it a bit, but if you value well over another and it is a position of need a team is gonna jump on it.

We need pass Rush in the worst way if Jackson leaves that can set a corner ... this D is about penetrating on every play .. It work for the Giants it worked for us against NE...

Like it or not they are not going away ..

 

[58crash]

Pass Rush is king !

They can mock all they want. Wait and see the change in mocks after FA and then you'll see more legit attempts anyway.

I think we have all been following the NFL long enough to know that a pass rush is very important.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Jihad Ward in round 3 would be theft.

 

[cdumler7]

Jihad Ward in round 3 would be theft.

That is what I was thinking. I didn't like the 1st 2 rounds of that draft as there are guys at those positions that I think would be better options but that 3rd round steal would almost make it worth it.

Well then stop with the 335 DT's ...

I view looking at the NT position as a decent idea. They could easily look to ask Sly to lose a few lbs. and try to move outside on a regular basis. He was known in college for his penetrating abilities and he showed some of that this year. He won't be Malik level but he would be I think a pretty good option at DE.

Well steop with the drama queen comments.

The need for a pass rush and how important it is doesn't mean we are or need to take one in round 1 EVERY single season.

How many times do I have to stress to you that teams draft on value???

 

[randymon]

Right. If you don`t see the guy you coveted in rd 1 at a certain position, you don`t reach for a guy just to fill that need. You look at your "draft" depth chart and draft the next value player regardless of position on your chart. IMO anyway.

I somewhat agree. I wouldn't say you always go regardless of position. They asked an ex-GM about the whole BPA idea and he said something along the lines of well teams will say that but it always seems like they still draft a player that is ranked high at a position of need. So to me it is more you have say 4-5 positions you know you need either a starter caliber or quality depth player and you look at the players available at those positions. Like right now for me I can't see the Broncos going Corner or WR even if that is best player available in this upcoming draft.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Yeah regardless probably wouldn't be the word I would use there, but the idea Randy was talking about is correct.

Don't reach for a LB who you ranked quite a bit below a pass rusher, etc just because you have a dire need there, but if it is pretty equal at a dire need then the need could trump the value if it close enough. Just depends on the amount of value you have on a player, etc.

I shouldn`t of said "regarless of position Cd. I don`t think Denver would have a wr or corner on their draft list at least not for a couple rds. More than likely if they miss on their 31 guy, it isn`t one of those positions next in line.
