[QUOTE="Einstein McFly, post: 551835, member: 6663"] I was excited for them to take Jones, as he was supposed to have the potential to be a legit three down 3-4 DE with a ton of pass rush. In training camp he was whipping guys in the one-on-ones but he seemed too lost against the run to get many snaps as the year went on. Given his athleticism though, if he can make the kind of jump from first to second year that Daniels made, he'll be great. As for Perry, I've always felt like the bears did a murder-suicide in that draft. Shea McClellan was the "high motor, super athletic, versatile" guy that would be a perfect 3-4 olb and Perry was (is?) a 4-3 DE with a ton of strength but not the balance/athleticism to operate out as a 3-4 olb. The bears took McClellan and he's been way to small for a 4-3 DE and we have a big strong 4-3 DE playing olb and trying to figure it out. Both teams would have been way better taking the other guy. That said, considering what the needs were and who was left at the time (and, lets be honest, 99.9999% of fans, including the "experts" on this board, don't know more than fifty names on draft day anyway) I was fine with it. Sure there were better guys taken after him that most fans, if they're being honest, hadn't heard of at the time and so now it can look like a really stupid pick. That's hindsight for you though.
