Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1 At Least)

[King Friday]

Billy is still smarter than everyone else.

[Deputy Nutz]

Nah. Rodgers is too busy screwing Deanna.

Sassy, I didn't know Deanna Favre was your mother.

[pbmax]

If the Browns take Weeden, its proof the water there is still contaminated.

[Brando19]

Upshaw or Perry will be a Packer.

[red]

this is bullshit, dumb as hell

we're 4 picks behind

less analysis, more announcing of picks

we've been analysing this shit for months

[Rastak]

Weeden to Browns

[Bretsky]

That move by the BEARS surprized me.

Do you like Nick Perry?

I'd be content with Perry...no way would I move up for him though

OVERVIEW
Jones is an underclassman defensive end who has displayed good size and speed throughout his career at Syracuse. He suffered a knee injury that severely limited him in 2011 and will need to prove he's fully recovered throughout the pre-draft process to warrant the draft consideration that he's shown he's worthy of on the field. He should be selected somewhere in the third round. Though undersized, he is best served playing the end position in a 4-3 scheme.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Jones is undersized but has the tools to stay on the line at the next level and work mostly out of a 5-technique position, as he excels at working in short areas and being a scrappy, active player in the box. He has a good wingspan and is a long strider, which gives him great range to run down outside runs. He uses his arms well to keep linemen at bay, and he displays good technique to defeat blocks through hand fighting. He is an effective tackler with a lot of range. Although Chandler tends to get upright immediately at the point of attack, he is a good pass rusher who plays to his strengths.
WEAKNESSES Jones is undersized and could have issues against stronger offensive tackles. He is a long strider who takes too many steps to get to full speed and looks lost at times when diagnosing run plays. He is an effective player when moving decisively, but he can be out of place at times. Once in the backfield, he has trouble readjusting his body to get a clear burst toward the quarterback.

AWESOME

[Deputy Nutz]

WEEDEN!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Enjoy your 5 yr career with Wheedon, Browns fans.

[King Friday]

Browns get a 28 year old QB...he might learn the pro game before he starts collecting Soc Sec.

[red]

Upshaw or Perry will be a Packer.

love it. the FIB from illinois is still there too right?

[Deputy Nutz]

That guy is old as dirt

[Brando19]

If the Browns take Weeden, its proof the water there is still contaminated.

I think it's a great pick...just because he's older doesn't mean he's not better than McCoy. He'll be their starter.
