TC and pre-season will determine that.
He was blowing by people on the video I watched...I'd have to think Sutton has specific plans for him. He has more moves than Ford...for a DL, that's impressive. [Reply]

Maybe it's been explained earlier in the thread but I'm just coming in.
We have been desperate for someone to relieve Poe for quite some time. We also have just recently been able to a have rotation at DL to do just that with Bailey, Devito, and Howard.
Devito has retired, and he wasn't much of a pass rusher. By plugging Jones into that hole alongside Poe and Howard's ability to play 5-tech, we have 3 players with potential to play NT/DE at any given moment as well as Bailey.
Anyone that believes the front line is what wins the war, should be happy with this pick [Reply]
I'd like to see this kid add another 15 lbs in his 2nd year to move up to around 325 lbs. He's so tall and long that he could stand to add that weight and not have any real loss of athleticism.
He's good to go from day one. He uses his huge hands, long arms and elite footwork extremely well.
He has solid strength but that will come.
Man this guy is going to be an awesome interior rusher in the nickel. He's going to be so hard to block, especially for weaker G's. [Reply]

Thanks, that clears it up for me. Again, I apologize to you draftniks out there, as I said earlier, I spaced on Devito...
Good, it sounds like a scary rotation of beasts now [Reply]
