I said nothing about EVERY player. You made that up. Im talking about Jones. He is a middle of the road, NON play maker. You said it yourself. He is "solid".
First round picks are supposed to become your stars. Nobody drafts in the first round hoping for solid players. Jones is part of the problem with the D, not part of the solution.
If you disagree with that, by all means you are entitled to that opinion.
And I am glad you mentioned Collins. Perfect example of a GREAT safety. Solid vs great. Collins needs no one to stick up for him. His play speaks for itself.
Every team ends up getting some solid starters out of the first round. Not every player drafted in the first round, especially late in the round, ends up being an All-Pro. Yes, you're aiming for those guys, but if you're expecting them, you are totally ignoring the success percentage of the draft.
Jones is a successful late first-round draft pick because he's a solid starter. And yes, we totally agree with Jones being a part of the problem with this defense.
