usama young vs. the draft
Not to whine about the past, but I really think we made a huge error in letting go of David Jones.
Agreed.
I saw a lot of potential from Jones during preseason, more than any other of our draft picks, and training camp reports all seemed positive. He had value on defense, special teams, and if we really needed, offense. He was superfast, and IIRC made a few nice tackles and a pick.
The Bengals have him covering kickoffs. I think we should have our radar on him to see if he makes their roster. I'd sure welcome him back. Usama and Jones together again would be nice.
We could keep them underwraps for a while, doing extra practice and everything, then unleash them on an unsuspecting league the next time anyone s******s about our CB troubles. I'd love to get 3 or 4 starters from our, so far, failure of a 2007 draft, from places like Towson St., Kent St. or Wingate. It would be a pretty nice compliment to Sean Payton to have players like Jahri Evans from Bloomsburg, or Bushrod, Jones, and Young, earning roster spots
