Does Melvin Jones stay at MLB or move to DE possibly? (Posted on 1/22/13 at 9:59 am)
Sure would be nice to have a big run stuffing MLB. At 6'3" 246 he will probably get even bigger once Moffit gets him. So is he projected to be MLB and how soon do you think he is playing?

Yea, I hope he can stay there. I do like the idea of being extremely fast with OLB's but have a really big guy to plug the middle and make it really tough to get any yards there. But that's just my opinion. Not an authority.

I would run the crap out of him and get him on a nutrition plan and keep him at MLB. We need a force in the middle and if Jones can still move with his weight then he would be a star in the middle like Minter. I see him playing at around 245-250 lbs.

I hope he stays. We need some beef in the middle to complement the speed on the outside. Plus Chief loves him some beefy MLBs (see Baker and Minter). I could see Barrow moving inside next year with Kwon and Bones on the outside.

I think he will stay at MLB but you never know. He is very athletic for his size and could maybe be a fullback/H-back type player if Linebacker doesn't workout.
