Barrett Jones is a good player but is very much like Kozier.
He outsmarts guys. He is nimble and uses good technique but he just wins versus dominates. Go watch him play in and play out this year and he just does enough while Warmack and Fluker destroy people.
I agree the injury situation makes this very difficult. Because we don't know how he would compare to those two guys if fully healthy.
We do know he is very unlikely to get bigger or stronger because Bama players almost never do. They are maxed out in that program. When you draft them you draft a finished product. They have learned technique and been in world class strength and agility programs. Guys who played there 4 years and didn't come via JUCO have very little upside left.
