Travis Jones compared to All Pro Chris Jones

[xwalker]

Travis Jones has Chris Jones type upside in my opinion.
- Size/power to play 1tech but athleticism to play 3tech.
- Could play the Dan Quinn type SDE position on run downs.
- Remember the much discussed Dan Quinn type Strong Side DE position?
- The position they signed Brent Urban to play on run downs.
- The Red Bryant position in Seattle when Quinn was there.
- What if he dropped from 327 to 320? Then he definitely projects to an All-Downs DL.

Does his level of competition not concern you? The Cowboys of late have really only drafted from big schools

Where he played is the reason he is projected to the 2nd round.

I've been on the Jones train since the Senior Bowl. Actually like him better then Davis. Believe he could potentially have more of an impact then a 2nd tier Edge player. If he is anything like Chris Jones, do people forget what happened in KC, he was a game wrecker. I would be tempted to reach a little to get him as he won't make it to pick 56. Perhaps a trade down at the end of rd 1.

I worry about drafting another UCONN guy after the Byron Jones fiasco.

Eh, don't blame the draft war room over the coaches not understanding Jones talents.

Great pick and should of stayed at corner.

Didn’t Byron have a All-Pro season with us then received a big contract with Miami.

Don’t sleep on him
If we want to take him in rd 2 we will have to trade up to mid rd 2 and I’d do it in a heartbeat
He’s not lasting to 56

Forward to Jerry. After 30 years he still hasn't figured out the value of having more than a JAG in the middle of the DLine.

You can thank that old man Rod for that. Tried to convert Byron top 10 corner to a safety, and not only that but Jalen Ramsey the TOP 1 corner to a safety as well.

That man is gone, we may breathe again.

Tough projection because as much as I like Travis Jones I’m not sure I see him being the dynamic pass rusher that Jones is…regardless of what the measurements on paper say.

If I were going to give a lofty projection for Jones it would be more a bigger Suh. I think that Jones plays more the bully style that Suh does of going straight through you rather than the pass rush moves Jones can display.
