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.

Also ... to me, that he dropped from the top 5 is a positive, not a negative IMO. If it were a guy that's been slated to go 15 all along with the ?'s about his limitations, I'd question the upside. With Jones, I see it, potentially, as a chance to steal a top 5 caliber player because he ran a poor time.

There would be risk either way, but at least in this case, if the fears are unfounded then you've probably got a gem.
