Football Outsiders not high on Dodd.

Aaron Schatz @FO_ASchatz 10m10 minutes ago
Dodd had no PDs in college, no sacks until last year, and poor combine performance. RT @KTCL13 What makes him score low?

Aaron Schatz @FO_ASchatz 9m9 minutes ago
Shaq Lawson had SackSEER rating of 72.6%. FAR superior. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/sta.../sackseer-2016 … @chillyw How does that compare to Shaq's?

"Emmanuel Ogbah would be SackSEER's favorite player in this draft if it did not adjust for projected draft position." Analytics! @Browns

Per Red:

12. CHRIS JONES | Mississippi State 6056|310 lbs|3JR Houston, Miss. (Houston) 7/3/1994 (age 21) #98
YEAR (GP/GS) TKLS TFL SACK FF GRADE 3rd Round 2013: (13/3) 32 7.0 3.0 0 MEASUREABLES Arm: 34 1/2 | Hand: 10 3/4 | Wingspan: 85 2014: (13/0) 26 3.5 3.0 0 COMBINE 40-YD: 5.03 | 10-YD: 1.69 | 20-YD: 2.86 | BP: 26 | VJ: 24.5 | BJ: 08’10” | SS: 4.62 | 3C: 7.44 2015: (13/13) 44 7.5 2.5 0 PRO DAY VJ: 29.5 Total: (39/16) 102 18.0 8.5 0

BACKGROUND: A five-star defensive end recruit out of high school, Jones was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the state of Mississippi, committing to the Bulldogs over Ole Miss, Alabama and Auburn – standout high school basketball player. He split his snaps between defensive end and tackle as a true freshman reserve in 2013, recording 32 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. Jones was again a back-up as a sophomore and finished with 26 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. He became a full-time starter as a junior in 2015 (13 starts), recording 44 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Jones elected to forego his final season and enter the 2016 NFL Draft.


STRENGTHS: Looks good on the hoof with a big-boned frame and core strength…quick initial step with an efficient spin move…agile lower body to sidestep blocks and operate in small spaces, redirecting himself without losing momentum in pursuit…quick hands and attacks the shoulder of blockers to wedge himself through gaps…understands how to split double-teams, using his body to gain leverage…determined chaser away from the line of scrimmage…uses his long arms to press blockers off his frame…commended by the coaches for his improved practice habits and attention to detail, working hard in the weight room to shed bad weight…experienced lining up at multiple spots inside and outside on the defensive line.

WEAKNESSES: High-hipped and doesn’t consistently bend at his knees…plays flat-footed and struggles to control his momentum in his rush…inconsistent pad level off the snap, rushing upright and struggling to get underneath blockers…narrow-based and offenses can run at him…digests what he sees, but doesn’t anticipate due to marginal instincts…lacks a sense of urgency and wears down easily, forcing him to go half-speed too often…needs to keep his emotions in check on the field…pass rush lacks variety, lacking move-to-move transition…only one season as a full-time starter…underwhelming career production…minor off-field incident during the draft process – pulled over for speeding and arrested for driving with a suspended license (March 2016).

SUMMARY: A one-year starter in the Bulldogs’ four-man front, Jones was a part-time player his first two seasons before becoming a full-time starter as a junior, lining up mostly as a one-technique, three-technique and occasionally outside as a defensive end. He offers a terrific blend of size, body control and strength, but is not yet the sum of his parts with inconsistent ball awareness and effort – has plenty of parts in the box, but the instructions are in a foreign language. Jones is still raw in several areas, but it’s easy to see the potential due to his foot quickness and body type. Although he shows first round flashes and will be overdrafted because of those flashes, it comes in spurts and the impact of his body of work doesn’t warrant that high of a selection – will be a part-time player and project early in his career

2nd round is all about guest announcers. ever since Goodell became commish, Draft has been a circus. it's only a matter of time till they are behind.

Totally agree Pitt. Fucking Goddell has ruined the draft for me. Can't stand the 3 day format, don't like moving it back until later, and I hate the fucking dog and pony show it's become. I used to love planning on spending all day Sat. and Sun. glued to my computer/T.V. watching and reading about it and all I do now is come back and check the status every once in a while to see how close it is until the Pack's next pick. Circus is the right name for what it's become.

At NO. 37 the KC Chiefs pick DT Chris Jones:

Draft Projection Rounds 1 or 2

NFL Comparison Jordan Phillips

" Bottom Line Ascending prospect whose production this season matched the flashes he showed on tape. Jones has the quickness off the snap to disrupt in the gaps and the strength to control the point of attack. Like Jordan Phillips, Jones plays with an elevated pad level which needs work. With a body type and skill set to play all along the defensive line in both odd and even fronts, Jones has a chance to come off the board early and make his mark in the pros. "

DT Chris Jones to the #Chiefs. A player who could've fit in with the Bills.

BACKGROUND: A two-star athlete recruit, Xavien “X” Howard played quarterback and cornerback in high school, but was recruited primarily as a defensive player, committing to Baylor – also a star performer in basketball and track. After redshirting in 2012, he saw limited action as a redshirt freshman, mostly on special teams, recording five tackles and his first career pass break-up. Howard earned a starting job as a sophomore in 2014 and emerged as one of the top cornerbacks in the conference with a team-best 17 passes defended and four interceptions, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors. He again started all 13 games in 2015 and led the Bears with 15 passes defended and five interceptions, earning First Team All-Big 12 honors. Howard chose to skip his senior season and enter the 2016 NFL Draft.

STRENGTHS: Well-built for the position with proportionate body mass…uses his long reach efficiently to keep receivers within arm length…balanced footwork to plant-and-go, unlocking his hips and playing loose…throttles between gears very well for his size to stay in phase…above average ballskills, getting his head turned to find the ball and make a play – anticipates well at the stem with a nose for the ball…highly aggressive and not afraid to take chances…shows his offensive background after the interception, averaging 12.6 yards per return (9/114/0)…physical mentality to reroute at the line of scrimmage and cut off patterns downfield…controlled striker and finishes as a tackler…passionate competitor with prep habits and work ethic lauded by his coaches…durable starter (26 starts) the last two seasons with excellent production, finishing his career with 33 passes defended and nine interceptions.

WEAKNESSES: Average-at-best long-speed for the position…doesn’t have the twitchy burst to match some wide receivers on in-breaking routes…upright in his pedal and doesn’t rely on technique in coverage…needs to improve his sink when transitioning to better redirect at the top of routes…looks to slow down receivers downfield and gets too handsy, attracting penalties…caught guessing too much and his risk taking leads to mistakes, biting on fakes or coming off his man too early…needs to better use his length to disengage blocks…lacks experience as a blitzer.

SUMMARY: A two-year starter, Howard played mostly in the boundary at Baylor, lining up in both man and zone coverages – was primarily a quarterback in high school, but also created a dynamic cornerback duo on defense along with teammate William Jackson, who starred at Houston. Howard is big and physical with surprising foot quickness and agility to stay in phase with receivers. He won’t be featured as the prototype for fundamentals in coverage, but his ability to find the ball in flight and use his ballskills to disrupt the catch point are above average – mixes things up and does a lot of receiver-like things in coverage. Although his long-speed isn’t ideal for the position and he needs technique work, Howard is quick off the snap and able to rid
