he scoop: "I'm never an advocate for players leaving school early when they aren't ready to, butCardale (Jones) would have been in a weak quarterback class with very little tape for teams to pick at. His flaws would have been exposed quickly in our league, but I'll bet you he would have gone in the first round. Now we can all see his flaws." -- NFC personnel director on Jones' decision to come back to Ohio State after last season
The skinny: It's hard to say if this personnel man is right or not. While Jones has the size and arm strength that NFL teams love, we have seen a greater willingness by NFL teams to pass on "size/arm" prospects early in the draft if their tape isn't where it needs to be. While Jones' lack of college tape might have been a draft advantage if he had entered the 2015 draft, there were still concerns on tape. Jones was expected to improve and solidify his position as a top-rated NFL quarterback prospect this year, but all he's been able to do through the first three games is create substantially more doubt in the eyes of evaluators.

The scoop: "He looks like he would break in half if you got a good shot on him, but he's killing it this year because Notre Dame is letting him do his thing. His play speed is legit and he's reminding me ofDeSean Jackson this year. I'm starting to buy in." -- AFC scout on Notre Dame WR Will Fuller
The skinny: Heading into the season, I wasn't wowed by Fuller, despite his numbers. Fuller is undersized. He showed very little desire to block in the runninggame and was basic with his route running last
