[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 497493, member: 2846"] Love the pick. Not sure how TT does this, but Jones was on my radar, but I thought there were slightly better options available. I dismissed him as a potential pick because I thought he was too light to play DE for us. Then after the pick, I read what the experts think, and I realize he was much better than I thought, and perhaps the perfect pick for us. Maybe I have learned my opinions are good, but TT is far superior. My brain quickly adapts to the 'truth' and my perception of the player he picks increases because of the sole fact that TT picked him. Anyway, here is a smattering of thoughts: - TT takes guys who love football; are dedicated; and are students of the game. - I think there is a shift in our defensive strategy. Daniels, DE we drafted last year, seemed to be on the small side also. I wonder if we are looking at a philosophical shift in our defensive scheme. - Jones is the 'anti-Kapernick' this team needed. What a perfect way to shut down a very active mobile option style QB. A relentless, tall, and quick DE. - I wonder if Minny offered the same deal to TT that they did to the Pats. Chances are - No - or TT thinks EXTREMELY highly of Jones. - Jones, btw, may be able to add another 20 lbs and appear more prototypical/traditional 5T. - I wonder if the NYGs SB year had an impact on TTs thought process. Their success was mostly because of their DL. They were deep and talented and had fresh legs late in the game - they took over the game because of it. [/QUOTE]
