jjmac Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Draft Tek featured this reasoning behind us picking Jarvis Jones in their latest mock draft: With recent signings of Lawson and Dowtin, and the Ravens' Chavis Williams popping in for a visit Tuesday, you might feel the role of LB has been filled, obviating the need for OLB here. Not so fast! None of these players (and none in the draft) has accumulated 155 tackles, 44 tackles for loss, and 28 sacks in 26 games like Jarvis Jones. Pettine's hybrid defense will require more than these guys can offer, including a fleet pass-covering SILB and a FS over the top, but it will be harder for opposing QB to complete passes lying on their backsides. If Nix and heir-apparent Whaley trade down a tad and nabs Minter, Vaccaro, or starting QB in Round One, I won't throw my foam brick at the TV. At least, not until after Round Three. Anybody know anything about this? Edited April 16, 2013 by jjmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProbablyWrong Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I didn't hear of this either. Hoping someone has some insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Miner Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Is Chavis Williams any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Is Chavis Williams any good? He had 17 total tackles in college and 2 in his NFL career. So he's getting ready to eclipse the 20 tackle mark, what's cool about that is that it's only taken him about 5 seasons to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 A special teams scrub on the best team in the country (Alabama) turn special teams scrub on the best team in the world (Baltimore).** Sounds like he'd make a great special teams scrub. **This is only partly true. Sounds like he hasn't taken a snap since his rookie season in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
