In other words yes they did.

...to which he snickered about Mazi Smith being graded in the 13-15 pick range shortly thereafter. The man's a living contradiction.

The "who gives a %$%#" comment was awesome though. That's quintessential Jerry right there.

 

[starfan1]

I personally dont care if he wanted him or not if he did buffalo came in and saved him from a stupid pick. this is much better

 

[Hawkeye0202]

My guess is yes but not enough to trade up. Stephen mentioned some heated debate while they were on the clock.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Everyone wanted Will Anderson. Everyone wanted Devon Witherspoon and Peter Skoronski and Tyree Wilson.

Only 3-4 teams got the best guy on their board. All this hand wringing about who you missed out on relates to everyone picking after the top 10. They picked Mazi because he was the next guy on their list after the others were taken, as is how it works

 

[JJ1986]

This was a great non-pick. We have been screaming that we need to draft a DT for years and we finally got a big ugly. Could he be as good as Russel Maryland? He reminds me a little of him. We had a potent DL before with Russell, Tony, Jim Jeffcoat…

He said that after someone pointed out, "Just because you said it, doesn't make it so, right?" Who was that guy? That was awesome in my opinion.

he was correct last year says Tyler was their #1 OL on their board no one believed them. So hes saying they, NOT the Outside scouts, had Mazi as higher ranked then he went.. so what?? he didn't say who else they wanted or didn't want or still want. Just said that how they had the pick they took ranked. maybe saty in your lane let the owner/GM, scouts, and coaches say or not say whatever they want about THEIR TEAM

It is Jones' team. I will also say what I want to say about whatever they do. Please pass me more salt because I am a long way from being truly salty.

Wait…stop the presses…has Jerry actually learned something, lol?

Yeah. Being more tactful unless the urge to not be gets to be too much for him.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Eh, whatever. Two years ago, Surtain and Horn got sniped ahead of Dallas, which was obviously a complete disaster for us. Adapt, adjust, trust your board and preparation, make a trade, and get Parsons, who might just have a future in this league.

The fact that Jerry said he's not giving away the board this year shows that he's listening to somebody and is operating more like how a GM should

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

In other words yes they did.

Precisely, but we have folks thinking Jones was playing 4-D chess.

No, they likely were targeting Kincaid at 26. Buffalo jumped them so they pivoted to another player they liked.

End of story.

Let’s give him credit…it only took 30+ years for him to learn that.

 

[Killerinstinct]

we lucked out. Buffalo took Kincaid and forced us to pivot. In doing so we ended up taking a position that has been ignored for far too long.

 

[atlantacowboy]

That a pretty obvious "yes" in Jerry-speak.

It's been decades of grueling punishment, but it slowly seems like the culture is changing. With McCarthy here, all the Jones boys coaching projects are out the door and we've finally spent a high pick on DT. It seems like the football guys are finally being listened to in the front office.
