Jarvis had been cleared by the docs saying he's good to go. I'm not sure about him having a weakness at run stuffing bc I watched his game film against bama and he did pretty good to me. Held up blockers and made players. I'd rather take a player that has been playing the 3-4 OLB for 4 years as opposed to mingo learning a whole new position

But then again this is all talk bc it may never happen

The general consensus by scouts is that he's mainly a pass rushing specialist. I watched the game against Bama. They had him maintained well, barely doubled or even chipped him.

He's a smart person. It's not going to be hard for him to learn how to rush the passer right away. Plus he has quick instincts with overall elite speed. When you say project it usually means 3-4 years. I bet Mingo would have the position and system down in 2 years. He would contribute right away. Not much of a project

Oh I'm on board with you there. I would rather Jones over Mingo too. Hell if Ansah or Lane Johnson (the OT from oklahoma) is there along with Mingo I wouldn't be upset if we took either of the over him. That being said I think Mingo will do very well with a switch to 3-4 olb
