How good could Chris Jones be as a rookie?
In case you missed it, Chris Jones was beasting again yesterday.
PFF seems to agree. He was our highest rated player overall for the preseason going into the game yesterday. Rookie DE Chris Jones looking like a second-round steal Quote:
It's pretty clear that Chris Jones can and will beat weaker/slower OL this year. He's proven that though 3 preseason games. What are your thoughts on this kid? Could he provide more than his replacement, Mike DeVito, this year? DeVito had 19 tackles, 3 stuffs and 3 sacks. |

What's the advantage of moving Poe to end and starting Jones at nose? Jones is built more like an end than Poe and is more athletic. Poe's low center of gravity makes him hard to move off his spot at nose tackle. If you want to start Jones, start him at DE and rotate Howard at all 3 line spots.

Watching professional football for 30+ years....you dont walk on to a team with a stacked d-line and "shine". He is a future star...and I've only said that about 2 rookies. Charles and Peters....dude is going to be great.

Devito was a nice player and exactly the kind of guy you want to fill out your roster. But Jones might be a star.

I think Poe stays -but it does give Sutton a lot of options. |

But can Jones take on double teams repeatedly?

Jones isn't gonna be Aaron Donald and get 9 sacks this year. I've read some Twitter folks comparing him to Fletcher Cox, which would be ideal.
5.5 sacks sounds reasonable. I see around 600 snaps for the kid this year.

He's been very disruptive shooting the a and b gaps this preseason and was a DT in college. He has a huge frame and a lot of natural strength. I know it didn't look great in PS, but this DL is going to be downright nasty.
I think he can |
