Datone Jones

[xwalker]

He was OK, not great with the Packers.

Similar to Tyron Crawford in some ways but without the big contract.

Played in Packers 3-4 at DE and OLB. Not an ideal fit at either. He seems more like a 4-3 DT on passing downs or 4-3 DE on in base.

Get him on a healthy high calorie diet and lock him in a weight room. Let’s see him play in the middle of the line at 310 lbs. At DE he’s probably another Jack Crawford

We'd be wet if he could bring Rogers with him.

 

[JohnsKey19]

More of a solid run stopping DE. Very little pass rush.

So, yet another strong side DE. To go with all the other ones on the roster - think we have cornered the matket on them.

True true

 

[KingintheNorth]

He has some talent but like many said, another anchor or strongside end.

This draft seems really strong at one position and that is weakside end. This FO tends to overvalue our own players, as well as their own perceived cleverness, so no clue which direction they will go in the draft.

I do like this Jones signing though, so props to the FO.

Sounds like they are not happy with Taco Charlton................................

 

[CT Dal Fan]

At this point he's a former first rounder that's worth a look.

All he has to do is be better in the rotation than guys like Benson Mayowa at end and Richard Ash at tackle, so maybe the Cowboys have a contributor here.

Or its just a late season tryout, like they did with Jonathan Cooper at OG last year. That worked out well.

 

[ShiningStar]

Bringing in guys to help us stay mediocre, very very awesome. Lets keep spending money that wont go anywhere.

Love this pick up...Finally some speed @ DT in a pass rusher!!!!

JAG until he shows otherwise.

 

[canters]

They are just taking a sniff with Jones, I would say there is a less than 50% chance he is here next year.

Picks like these show even the Packers can miss on a low first round pick, like we do, form time to time.

I wonder why, he's been such a great contributor.

 

[Stash]

That's about the least impressive "highlight reel" that I've ever seen.

But at this point, with the season lost? May as well churn the roster. Why it never happened during the season? Who knows?

 

[noshame]

I just want an animal at 1 and then build around him we may have the pieces already

 

[Zimmy Lives]

But, but, but...

He was drafted specifically because his "length" and "size" meet Coach Rod's criteria to play in his defense. He is the prototype. I guess they are finding out perfect measurements don't equal success.

We need power and push , not speed, at the DT position

But yet none are the huge playmaker war daddy. You know the type that makes plays every game no matter the opponent.
But Jerry thinks he has a team ready to go all the way.
