Jalen Ramsey is better than Antonio Cromartie

[JohnnyHopkins]

Hope so. Cromartie wouldn't be someone I'd take with #4 overall.

Unless you wanted someone to sire enough offspring to fill out an entire roster.

He's long legged because he's tall. lol Deion was all legs.

And how bout we give Jones maybe two years in the NFL before we write him off?

Don't get why people think the draft makes a difference in the upcoming season. Takes like 2-3 years to see a guys potential. I think Jones will be an awesome player.

The Dallas Cromarties are taking the field, lead by Grampa Antonio.

Deion had hands. His long legs were more coordinated beneath him than Ramsey, in my observation.
Haven't written off Jones, just kinda feared he was a 'workout warrior' and, thus far, it appears he might just be.
B. Jones and Claiborne have made me completely cynical about this team drafting a DB in the first... and it's warranted.

Deion was all legs but didn't have much above those legs. Ramsey will be superior to Deione against the run whether CB or safety.

Not sure what you were watching in a late 1st round pick in Jones. He had multiples flashes at a position he hasn't played a whole lot and they moved him back and forth between positions. His rookie season reminded me a lot of Darren Woodson's rookie season.

But there was a lot to like about Byron Jones, too, and I didn't see it really come to fruitition on the field.

If we can start enough Ramsey threads before the draft we may yet get another stickied post.

I think the goal is to have a mod come on and create a thread about Ramsey saying we can't create any more threads about Ramsey.

How are you gonna compare B.Jones to Claiborne??? Like really?? You're acting as if Jones was already declared a bust. Crazy.

 

[BlindFaith]

They are different styles of player.

Cromartie is more like Claiborne. Primarily cover guys with nothing else to offer.


Ramsey is a extremely physical DB that can do it all.

I don't know if I'd agree with that. Coming out, he was touted for being very physical. I just think he cared more about baby moma's than he did playing football.

I don't know. There's a lot to like about Ramsey. But there was a lot to like about Byron Jones, too, and I didn't see it really come to fruitition on the field. Ramsey has range, but his hands appear to be garbage like so many DBs. A bit 'long-legged', as well, imo.

I know some discount PFF, but they ranked Byron Jones as the 2nd Runner Up for Defensive Rookie of the 2015 Season.

Do you mean on or off the field?

 

[Arkyvarminter]

I'll say this about Ramsey. He is a very confident and cocky player. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and seems to be an "in your face" type of player. He has a lot of arrogance that gets under other players skin. I really don't care for players with an attitude but they are usually good on the field. We need someone with some confidence back there........

 

[texbumthelife]

What's with the Jones hate? Considering all the coaches asked him to do last year, playing him almost everywhere, I thought he did an admirable job. I loved seeing him cover TE's man-to-man. I wasn't big on the pick, but I think he's shown he has the tools and the smarts to become a player.

Deion didn't look good when tackling. He wasn't going to hit, but he didn't miss much. I hated his tackling style until I realized that it worked better than most.
