was Datone Jones the right pick?

I still can't believe this thread even exists.

He couldn't play the run. Like at all. He will be fantastic at rushing the passer though. If he can get up to 310, he'll be an every down end. Dude was 283 at the combine last year. He has a bit to go.

Yeah. I'm not sure if Jones is going to be a superstar player or anything...

But at worst I see him as a good sub-package player who rushes the passer. The most likely is that he's a good pass rusher who is mediocre at playing the run... and I'd say his upside is that he's just a very good three down end.

Insanely tough to judge such a young kid and say what he will be for sure. Look at JJ Watt... the guy went from being a reasonable starter to playing like one of the best defensive linemen of all-time from year one to year two.

Give Jones some time. This will be an easier question to answer in two or three years.

It maybe too early to judge D Jones, but besides losing D-Linemen, Why did we pick up Peppers??? We obviuosly want a menture to learn from. Plus Worthy will be back!!!! D Jones probally wont play muck this year.
