Friendly wager on Jaylon Smith

[Beast_from_East]

I would vote a 4...........marginal probowler

If he is in the 3 range, basically a JAG, then we really screwed up. You don't blow a 2nd round pick on a redshirt LB if he is a JAG.

 

[Bleu Star]

By now, I think almost everyone think Jaylon will play next year.
The question is how well.
The only information we have is that Jaylon said he is running a 4.4/4.5.
The other info are the videos of his rehab that looks good to me, but I am no expert.
I have yet to hear an expert comment on the cutting and drills...

But I thought it would be fun for at least some of us to guess what we get next year.
So please select from the following choices:
1. Cut from camp / IR
2. Backup
3. Starter but similar to other LBs others than Lee.
4. Marginal probowler like Lee was this year (though there was the all-pro...)
5. Definite probowler
6. Generational player in the 1st year.

My guess is 4 - marginal probowler.

What is your prediction???

BTW, the fact is that most of us think he will play is already better than many have predicted.

I'm going with 5. Pro Bowler. He's is going to be on a serious mission when he hits that field and his talent will stand out clearly amongst the rest (just like Lee).

Here is a 'plot' of the results so far:

1 Injured/cut - bodi, pjthedoors, rkell87, marionbarberthe4th
1.5 - tm119
2 Backup - starboyz83
2.5 - chrisinarizona,
3 Starter - cowboyblue22, rockdoc
3.25 - theranchsucks, ghst187
3.5 - joshjwp, cowboysyankslakers, mcompact, ghostofpelleur, hardhittin'witten, tyle1doe, michaelwinicki
3.75 - ka0ik
4 - Marginal Probowl - wavingmonkey, gmoney112, iamliko22, waldoputty, howboutdemcowboys31, shaketiller, eric_h, mahoney_bill, beast_from_east
4.5 -sdcowboy85, daillest88
5 Solid Probowl - bigdogcowboy, rat2k8, bluestar
6 Generational - rgv_clos, scotman, gameover, xwalker (made joke?), phildadon86, dallasdw00ds0n

statistically, the bell curve is still centered around 3.75 (3.5 and 4 are tied with 7 and 8 votes), though there are good-sized peaks on both extremes of the bell curve which is highly unusual statistically...
curve has also 2 large peaks at the 2 extremes due to fans' excitement (6 votes for generational player) and the slow decay on the other end due to continuing disbelief (4 votes for injury/cut)...

Making meaningful predictive projections w/out official medical data? Wake me when he can run w/out a support device.

it is just a bet like going to the track, not predictive projection...
