Steelers host Jarvis Jones

[Spike]

Dion Jordan 14.5 career sacks ... considered a top 10 pick
Ziggy Ansah 4.5 career sacks .... considered a top 10 pick
Mingo 15 career sacks .... considered a top 10 pick ( and if you want to talk question marks this kid is just 240 pounds and gonna have to face LT's all day long )
Jones 28 career sacks .... if there at 17 and healthy only a fool would not take him IMO

ker-pow

nicely done


personally, I don't trust the Steelers drafting anything other than OL in the 1st rd, they have been pretty hit and miss on other positions lately

In Jones 1st year at Georgia he had 13.5 sacks, 19.5 TFL, 70 TT. Hes 2nd year, 14.5 sacks, 24.5 TFL, and forced 7 fumbles. These are not just stats, they are production. Jones simply plays in the offences backfield, which is what we want Harrisons possition to do. I remember that at the begining of the year a lot of these same writers had Jones rated at the best D-player in the nation, if not the best player in the nation. When you are talking about kids that have never played in the nfl there is no sure thing, but watching Jones play, and seeing his production over the last 2 years, if Jones is healthy, and is still there at 17, I would take him.

You guys are starting to sway me on Jones. I get the production thing...but he played at Alabama. Some of us could likely make some plays against outmatched competition on that team. They are crazy loaded every year. Hope he is as good as everyone here seems to think.

One other draft question...what can anyone tell me about Aaron Dobson WR Marshall? Could he be there in the the 3rd or 4th round?

[BlastFurnace]

Again though...what if Wordlis blows up this year..which is entirely possible. Provided they sign him, we have Jarvis sitting for 3 years behind Wordlis and Woodley.

We have no-one...absolutely nothing...behind Polamalu and Clark at Safety either as a backup or as the future. I hope they pick a Safety in the first round because once Troy gets hurt again this year, they are in big trouble.

everything you need to know about Dobson is in this short little video doubt he makes it to the 4th but the 3rd is possible

Don't really mean to sway you bud, like I said, your oppinion is just as valuable as anyones. Just trying to put out my point of view.

Great video of Dobson, but the more impressive thing is that he is not the kind of WR that will make a catch like that then drops the next ball that hits him in the chest. Polished route runner that has more speed than you would expect from a 6'3", 210 lb WR,,,, with long arms. There were reports last year that he ran a low 4.3/40, and I think he ran in the low 4.4s at his pro day. Dobson is one of the reasons some of us don't really want a WR in the 1st round. There just doesn't seem to be that much of a drop off in 1 to 15. After King I think you see a little bit more of a drop off. A little bit worried about Dobson making it to us in the 3rd, but like I said, there are a lot of very talented WRs, so he could.

So, he is tall, strong, has ridiculous hands/concentration, 4.4 and change in the 40...what is not to like? Seems to be the type of WR that the Steelers are lacking in.

The biggest knock I can see is he is more of a strider ( Think Plaxico ) when running and MIGHT struggle against NFL competition at getting off the LOS in press coverage ... that is MIGHT , not that he will ... we just do not know yet , its not like he has worked vs NFL quality DBs on a weekly basis for us to get a better feel for what he can and can not do .... His production was not off the charts either ( at a lower level of competition ) that being said he did Not have a guy like Ben throwing him the ball either ... so for every minus you can come up with you can also get a little bit of a positive out of it as well .. I like him as a prospect and like him even more if he was not a guy who would have to step in day 1 and be a starter and we have enough guys to rotate in and out to make is a slower transition and year two he could be ready to be a full time starter if we snag him up .. I think he will make it into round 3 , just how far into it is anyone's guess Like Texas stated lots of really good WRs in this draft , just not any outstanding ones

I like Jarvis Jones but I don't think the Steelers will get him. I think this team will look elsewhere even though I really want an OLB first round.
