My case against Jarvis Jones

Saintaholic said

This is all true, and I am glad this thread is somewhat getting back on track.

However I would like to point out, prior to the combine/workout process, Jones was indeed a consensus projected top 5 pick and sat #1 on Mel Kiper's Big Board all season long.

Right, which either makes him a ? and also a potential absurd value. Not saying you're wrong on that, but that comes down to the Saints (or anybody's) evaluation of him on film as to if they want to take the risk.

I get the larger point that "you can't just cite production" as a guarantee, which is true. Jones isn't a guarantee, but I wouldn't avoid him based on the listed players at all.
