Mel Kiper & Todd McShay Can’t Stop Talking About Jarvis Jones of Georgia as the No. 1 NFL Draft Pick After This Performance Against Florida
Jarvis Jones, the highly-touted recruit who started out at USC, suffered a scary neck injury, and is now starring for Georgia, is having a tremendous junior season. After racking up 13.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles last year, he’s wrecking much more havoc this year, despite missing two games: 8.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles.
Jones had arguably the best defensive game of any player in college football this season against Florida last week: 4.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles, including the decisive one in the final minutes at the goal line. Here’s a video breaking down his incredible performance, which appears to cement his high 1st-round draft stock.
Mel Kiper and Todd McShay spent a few minutes on Sportscenter this morning debating whether or not Jones could be the top pick. Linebackers almost never go 1st overall – the last non-passing rushing LB to go very high, Aaron Curry, went 4th to Seattle in 2009, got $34 million guaranteed, and then was traded to Oakland last year – but Jones appears to be a Top 10 lock, which is where we’ve had him since May.

him or clowney, who ya got?
November 1st, 2012 at 2:38 PM
You serious? Clowney AINEC. But he can’t enter the draft yet.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:38 PM
I am not going to watch Kiper and McShay out smug each other.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:40 PM
Clowney. A defensive rush end is the 2nd or 3rd most valuable asset in the draft behind quarterback and backside offensive tackle.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:42 PM
It can’t be! Manti Te’o is the greatest player/inspirational story in football today!
November 1st, 2012 at 2:42 PM
AINEC.
is this short for In A Cocaine Heartbeat?
that video is not very enlightening in the first three minutes. #6 is kind of fat for an LB at the next level, seems to me
November 1st, 2012 at 2:42 PM
I don’t know, through the 1st 3 minutes of that video, he doesn’t get off blocks, gets upfield too fast, and looks small. Pass.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:43 PM
sorry, didn;t realize clowney can’t go. ok, jones or teo?
November 1st, 2012 at 2:44 PM
jones is a beast.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:46 PM
Jones will be a beast in the 3-4 or being like what Denver does with Von Miller. Clowney is still the man though.
/Suck for Clowney in ’14
November 1st, 2012 at 2:47 PM
That’s a great game. Jones has potential.
As we see every year, some other random guy is gonna have a breakout performance in a conference championship game or bowl, to raise his stock at the expense of others.
The Chargers still need pass rush help. And a QB to groom for the future.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:47 PM
I’ll take Collin Klein. Guy just wins games.

He even calls the walk-ons by their real names! None of the professors even realized that he was a football star!

Looks at the Giants D-line. Yep.

QB>>>>Elite Pass Rusher>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Elite OT
Look at those positions for the last few SB winners.
NYG: Eli, JPP/Osi/Tuck, Diehl
GB: Rodgers, Matthews, Clifton
NO: Brees, W. Smith, Bushrod
PIT: Ben, Harrison/Woodley, Starks

When his girlfriend died he had not yet kissed or dated her!
November 1st, 2012 at 2:56 PM
We dominate the place kicker position.
Hey…if Okafor and Vaccaro go in the first round, will the Horns be the worst defense to ever to have two guys drafted in the first?
November 1st, 2012 at 2:58 PM
shit….
November 1st, 2012 at 2:59 PM
by far the most underrated kicker in the NFL. dude’s been at a pro bowl level for the past five years and is almost anonymous.
November 1st, 2012 at 3:01 PM
That mean they have a QB for the present?
/I know I shouldn’t be saying anything at all
November 1st, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Chief, you had the shot. There was no danger. Why not take it?
Tonight, we may be both commiserating over our respective QBs. I’ll be back here around halftime. Check in – at least we’ll both have something to laugh about.
November 1st, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Will never forget that knuckleball he kicked into a blizzard against the Bills a few years back.
/pours one out for JPQ
November 1st, 2012 at 3:07 PM
there are few absolutes…the NYG pass rush generated all of 2 QB hurries against the browns, who have one of the better OL’s.
think we could prolly just broadbase it as well constructed teams > poorly constructed teams.

BREAKING NEWS: NADA CRACKS THE MYSTERY, HEISMAN CANDIDATES MUST BY DEFAULT BE GREAT PRO PROSPECTS, DECADES OF EVIDENCE OTHERWISE THROWN OUT THE WINDOW AND KATRINA WAS SUCH A COOLER HURRICANE THAN SANDY Y’ALL ARE PHONIES

I’m still in the crying/swearing stage. I’ll be able to laugh about it in a couple more weeks.
November 1st, 2012 at 3:09 PM
Meanwhile…
/good drinker this one
November 1st, 2012 at 3:09 PM
my all time fav was hitting the back crossbar on a 51-yarder to beat the ravens in like 2007 and bouncing back thru…was originally called no good and then reversed. baltimore flipped shit.
November 1st, 2012 at 3:10 PM
After tonight, Chief, I may be in the acceptance stage. Maybe next year.

“AINEC”? Really? Let’s just abbreviate our entire comments from here on out.

Same year. The Derek Anderson year, Browns were charmed that year.
November 1st, 2012 at 3:17 PM
oh…see, if i had known that, id have disagreed. what a piece of crapronym.
November 1st, 2012 at 3:19 PM
charmed until tony dungy, like the overrated piece of boring crap he is, decided to sit his fucking starters in the last game against a division rival that let that division rival into the playoffs.
the colts fucking deserved to lose their first playoff game against that shit. horrible. fuck tony dungy.

In all seriousness…if you’re looking for the best NFL Draft analysis go to http://draftheadquarters.com/. This isn’t my site nor the site of anyone I know (I swear).
But it’s NFL Draft coverage without the ESPN…which means you don’t need INSIDER. Seriously though, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

reach…you, er, whomever writes for that site should probably do a lil more research. had the browns taking te’o and in the accompanying paragraph, mentioned two LB’s who are currently backups and don’t play a lot of snaps for the browns. didnt even mention the starters, who aren’t playing poorly at all.
November 1st, 2012 at 7:04 PM
Sorry about the double post.
November 1st, 2012 at 7:24 PM
browns are going DL or CB with their first.
November 2nd, 2012 at 12:34 PM
i’m not impressed.
