re: #15 Pick Dion Jordan Oregon

Currently I'd call Jones or Mingo longshots at #15 at best- 10% or more likely less. Jordan at 50% and likely less post Combine.
One thing I think Jordan has a distinct edge in is pass coverage. Oregon used him as a wild card lining up all over the place. He was a WR-TE his first years there. So he knows routes and has hands. I truly think he may be the new prototype to be the NFL answer to Graham, Gronk, and all the giant athletic TEs coming on.

See, I don't understand this. Everyone is complaining about needing a great pass rusher, but you want to draft a guy more known for pass coverage. And I'm debating with someone in another thread who is saying how important it is for OLB's in a 3-4 to be able to cover people. How many 3-4 OLB's can rush and cover really well?
When I watch 3-4 teams, I always see ILB's covering TE's. Even in the Super Bowl, the Ravens had freaking Ray Lewis covering Vernon Davis, not Suggs or Kruger. Bowman and Willis are responsible for covering TE's for the 49er's, not Brooks or Aldon Smith.
The main reason I want to wait until the third or fourth round for an OLB is because I don't think Jordan is that pass rusher everyone wants. That's why I said it would be different if Jones or Mingo fell to that spot.
