My New Mock
Buried amidst all the hype for certain players like Jones and others, there are critical weaknesses that stick out on film as you mentioned. Some that I've pointed out here repeatedly in the past challenging people to critically examine but have since given up on having any serious discussion on the issue.
No you're not the only one who's noticed Jones doesn't take on blocks effectively. I've read and stated the same things the past few months after originally being very high on him at the beginning of the season. When you look closely at his tape, most of his pressures and sacks have come from backside pressure when he's mostly unblocked. I don't see him getting as many clean looks in the pros and don't think that he's as quick or as developed as a pass rusher as Junior Gallette is at this point.

But Jone's isn't the only player people turn a blind eye to lack of physicality for. Even in your own thread
Dion Jordan (0.00%) was even worse than Jones at generating power plays and inside sacks but it went unobserved without anyone so much as batting an eyelash.
You can't reason with blind hype.
