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
 
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.

Love this pick up...Finally some speed @ DT in a pass rusher!!!! :hammer:
 
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.
 
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?
 
I just want an animal at 1 and then build around him we may have the pieces already
 
Sounds like they are not happy with Taco Charlton................................


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

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.
