[QUOTE="andeftw, post: 657591, member: 10722"] You're comparing Jones' time from his pro day to Lee's times from the combine, which are laser timed and 100% accurate. Pro day times are notoriously faster than those of the combine, so you're not comparing apples to apples. Darron Lee ran faster than Jones when they were on the same field, which is all the proof anyone needs to say he's faster. Did I say at any point that I would draft Lee in the first round? Don't think so. On the other hand, in an earlier post you mentioned we might have a legit chance to grab Jones at #27. You'd be okay with drafting an undersized linebacker who can't shed blocks and is a liability in coverage in the first round. This is not my opinion, it's fact based on evaluation of his play. But sure, let's draft a decent athlete in the 1st round to start at linebacker, when he's been a below average player at the same position in college... Also, Darron Lee was measured in at 6'1", 232 at the combine. Jones was measured in at 6'1", 222. So, if we want to get really technical, you were wrong even on measurements... Your entire argument about the pro-day was his 40 time. You mentioned nothing about on the field drills. A player doesn't jump into the first round when he's a fringe Day 2 talent on the basis of a 40 time. Especially when the most accurate measurement of his 40 time from the combine was slightly better than average and the only upside this guy brings as a prospect is speed. [/QUOTE]
