Why do people always expect dlinement to be good in their rookie seasons? In his second season Jones was actually a pretty good pass rusher. Yeah, he wasn't great against the run but NFL defenses are built on great pass rushers, not dominant run stoppers. If Jones continues to develop and becomes a liability against the run but dominant against the pass, then the Jones pick will have been a resounding success.I'm not saying Jones is on that level yet but go back and look at Calais Campbell's early years in the NFL. In his rookie season he wasn't very good. In Campbell's second season he blew up as a pass rusher but was worse than Jones against the run. Every Packers fan would be ECSTATIC if Jones could be 80% of Campbell. The only thing holding Jones back from that level right now is his snap count. He needs to stay healthy and stay on the field. If Jones could do that, and play just a little better than he did last season, he'd be one of the better 3-4 DEs in the entire league.</blockquote>
