Jermaine Johnson

[xwalker]

When a player falls that far, it most often turns out that that teams knew something that fans/media didn't know (medical or character).

 

[Hardline]

He should've been the pick.

They mentioned "personality" during the NFLN telecast

But that is the first I have heard of any issue with him

 

[Carter]

If personality would have been the problem he should have been Jerrys dream pick

BS.

Sure didn't apply to TJ Watt. Most certainly will not apply to Jermaine Johnson either. He flat out was the best D-lineman during the Senior Bowl, during Senior Bowl Week and was one of the better performance and timed Edge rushers at the NFL Combine. No one could stop him during Senior Bowl Week workouts, and his 2021 season tape was among the best.

Enough with the excuses for Jerry & Company. They most likely pulled another Taco Charlton draft decision screw up.

 

[Carter]

There is no way he drops almost out of the 1st Round if not some background stuff or some hidden injury or medical concern.

Hes top 10 talent wise and tape wise. So must be something up.

 

[Cowboyny]

Remember Broaddus said media scouts much higher on him than the actual nfl scouts

 

[DasTex]

1 year wonder is what I had heard some scouts say.

 

[morasp]

They are taking "behavioral" issues more seriously than in the past.

so which is supposed to be the whispering risk rumor ?.. Character or medical ?

Charecter from what I am hearing.

He went from "possibly going 4th" to falling that far

4. JERMAINE JOHNSON, Florida State (6-4 ½, 260, 4.62, 1): Subpar academics sent him to a junior college for two years. Started four of 24 games at Georgia in 2019-’20 before transferring for a final season in Tallahassee. “Started the year playing his way into third-round conversation and at the end played his way possibly into the first,” one scout said. “Not as explosive or as athletic as (Joe) Tryon or (Azeez) Ojulari, who played over him at Georgia. He can power off the edge. He’s got get-off and flattens down on the quarterback. He can create pressure looping outside when aligned as a 3-technique in sub packages. He can improve his edge rush by developing a counter move once engaged and using his hands better. Best as a 3-4 outside backer.” Several scouts mentioned his father, someone they regard as overly involved and an impediment. “He is a low-confidence know-it-all that’s been pushed by his dad his entire life,” one scout after an interview with Johnson. “I see him as a fake tough guy.” Finished with 106 tackles (26 for loss), 18 ½ sacks (12 at FSU), three forced fumbles and four passes defensed. Wonderlic of 15. Arms were 34. “The surprising thing was he was very good against the run,” a third scout said. “I almost thought he played the run better than he rushed the passer. He’s got exceptional hands and hand usage at the point of attack. That’s what grabbed me the most about him. The sacks came off hustle. He had some where he earned them going around the guy. He’s not a natural bend-the-corner right end but he’s good enough to do it … they called him ‘Hollywood.’ He’s a little arrogant. He’s probably hard to like at times. But he backed up everything he said he wanted to do, which is rare in this era.” From Eden Prairie, Minn.

It was the ugly azz suit that he wore... It scared teams away..

Skippy thinks Johnson will be a pro bowler and would have forgiven the Cowboys for moving on from Gregory.

I said it last night but he looks like Dak and the Rock had a baby together and produced him.

We still can draft an Edge player, but the Tackles could be all gone the time we are on the clock again.

He was absolutely the biggest steal in the first round and the Cowboys let him go. No real issues.

Skippy was going to hate on the pick no matter what.

I think we might surprise and take tight end in the second. We need a second tight end threat to complete our running game (12 personnel) Plus the receivers will be eaten up by our pick in the second. Pass rusher can be had later.

I'm thinking more in the 3rd/4th rd range. Outside the top 2-3 TE's, they all are considered late day 2 selections into early day 3.
