oh, gotcha- in college proved it. Him more than others. That why he was a #26 vs the others higher. Another case where GB (like NYG with JPP) made the right call on the potential.

IMO Bruce Irvin was a bigger reach at #15 than Jordan would be. We had plenty of discussion on him and whether he would be worth the Saints #59 pick before it was Godelled.

Yeah, I meant those guys had proved on the field coming out of college that they could play. I'm not against taking someone based on potential, I just feel this specific guy isn't worth that pick when so many other guys could be had in the later rounds that probably fit better for what the Saints need. Jordan doesn't seem like that pure pass rusher everyone wants.

I remember the media talking about Bruce Irvin being a reach. The thing is, he was a legit pass rusher in college. He racked up 22 sacks in his final 2 years, and he is looking like he will be in the pro's exactly what he was in college. He is proving he is talented at getting to the qb.
