He definitely needs to add some muscle. Around 260 is where he will probably be in the NFL. I've seen the run stopping skills but I haven't seen enough of him in coverage. It sounds like that just wasn't something he needed to do much of in college. Suggs went from a pure pass rusher to a complete NFL 3-4 OLB so as long as Jordan has the skills it is possible.
He actually dropped into coverage a fair amount at Oregon. That's one reason why teams are really high on him right now. It is rare for a rush OLB to have the ability to drop into coverage effectively.Quote:

With the 33rd pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select, Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida St.
And a fan mock draft is going to deviate greatly from the real draft. I don't see Dion Jordan getting anywhere close to us, unfortunately.Quote:

I've had it stuck in my head that our first pick NEEDS to be a S/OL/ILB, but getting Dion Jordan would have me dancing in the street. IMO there are a few ILB in the mid rounds that I feel are starting quality (ie: Reddick) as well as picking up someone like Tony Jefferson or Baccari Rambo for a S and then someone like Queensberry (sp?) in the 3rd. Either way Dion Jordan is a sickkkk pick
I really like Dion Jordan too. But he must add strength to shed blocks, he doesn't appear to have the ability to play with his hands in the dirt as he gets pushed around a little bit. Against USC, he was awful.
With that said, the pick has a ton of upside.
you should run this again after the combine
I think he's the best player in this draft.Quote:

But it was hard to keep your eyes off of him in the games I've watched, and that's saying a lot for a guard.
BTW COdyPKA is on the clock
If possible can you add the 2nd round to the front page post after round 1? It would help to have a master list so we can see everyone who has been taken.Quote:

I'll have my pick in about 10 min
with their second round pick the Philadelphia Eagles select Matt Elam, Saftey from UF. Philly suffered through some pretty terrible safety play last year. Elam is both a playmaker in defending the pass, as well as a physical force in the run game. Elam fills a big need for the Eagles, and Philly fans will love him because he will remind them of former Eagle Brian Dawkins
