Reply With QuoteCould be his agent saying that to reporters. I remember when Terrell Suggs bombed his 40. Scouts said he didn't have enough speed to translate to the NFL.

hear he's not the most athletic guy. Also heard he bombed his pro day.
had two great years even while dealing with the spinal issue
Yet, I still see red flags.
Please shine some light onon this guy... I know he will be on the board @ 9
And a 4.90, 40 yard dash at his pro day?!??

Except the big difference is that Suggs is around 35 pounds heavier than Jones.Originally Posted by Daveh919
The list goes on, lazy, doesn't stop the run.....hates the gym?
Clearly Vernon Ghloston was a much better prospect.........
I'd rather Mingo or Datone Jones. Mingo is faster and has more 3-4 like experience then Jarvis. If we go that rough I'd rather Mingo. Datone Jones IMO has the biggest upside of the DE/OLB class. Not the proven edge rusher Jordan is but has all the moves just needs a little coaching up. I am not sold on Werner or Ansah being all that.
Didn't Jarvis Jones play in a 3-4? How does Mingo have more experience? Honest question, not trying to be sarcastic.

The reality is @ 9 - you work with what you got. Patterson? Hell no. Have you actually watched a full game of his?? Or just youtube highlights... Landry Jones... Landry freaking Jones?? Dude, why are we even having this conversation.
The value at 9 is D-lin/OLB/OG. It is what it is. ...I know people here want Offense (so do I) but the way this team's built this year - it's not in the cards to go chasing unicorn quarterbacks, and make-belief Wide receivers... Build up the trenches, fortify the walls, and then we can go balls out in that department next year.
If Paradis is saying go defense/guard, that's all anyone really needs to hear. The man has pounded his fist on the table year after year for playmakers. In his heart he always wants more of them. So for him to say go defense, this year is meh in the high rounds on offense skill players, says a lot IMHO
Suggs plays at 260 lbs. Jarvis Jones should be 255 lbs after a few years in the NFL. Size isn't his problem. I wouldn't take him at 9 although I think he is gonna be a helluva player.
Yeah leading the league in tackles for loss and blowing the doors of other high prospects in that regard is 'not stopping the run'.
How does this make sense? He's going to be a hell of a player in a position of real need and we are going to let him go to some team in the late teens or 20's who will laugh all the way to the bank.
This.
Vernon Gholston was a no doubter top 10 pick. Jarvis Jones is a top 10 pick, too . . . in the second round.
Dont know why but I was thinking he still played for USC. Just seems small and slow for a 3-4 pro OLB to me. LSU has ran 3-4 formations sense 09 but they dont run it every down. Mingo looks good when they do. Or the guy on the other end in GA Ogletree
that slow, I don't care who it is. were they not calling for the head of what's he name the middle lb for being slow. now why would you want to draft a slow one.
God forbids this happens. If so, then the Jets, FO etc deserve whatever fate befalls them.
Typical SOJF thinking - the solution to our needs in right in front of us available at our pick and they blink, doubts creep in, balls drop etc
This guys was extremely productive and dominated elite college opposition... For God's sake pick the man
Dominating college is one thing... To be a productive edge rusher in the NFL you need to rely heavily on a certain level of athleticism which is not clear he has. I'm more worried about his pathetic vertical leap than the slow 40 time
I guess but if he's small then Mingo is idk what. Yes he ran fast, but I don't see the production. Jones is fast on the field and got to the QB quite a bit in the same conference as Mingo. JMHO though. Mingo definitely could be a player at the next level, I just am not as confident in him as I am in Jones.
Look at the game film he's got heaps of explosion and plays faster than his time. He's dominated elite college nfl ready talent consistently throughout his college career. If you want a fast worjout warrior pick Jason Worilds from the Steelers and watch him jump out of swimming pools
