Jarvis Jones was a strong most wanted on ST in 2013. The Saints passed, took Vaccaro, and many were disappointed. Looks like it's fess up time that the front office might know more than we do...

Rotoworld-

The Steelers are not expected to re-sign free agent OLB Jarvis Jones.
A prolific college pass rusher who is simply not athletic enough to provide the same effect in the big leagues, Jones has managed six sacks across 50 NFL games. He has evolved into a solid run defender, but lacks the ability to disrupt passing games. 3-4 defenses in need of an edge setter may give Jones free agent consideration, but he won't break the bank. Jones is 27 years old.

Vaccaro had a great rookie year and a handful of good games past that but he's not necessarily playing to a 1st round talent level

Then the 2014 draft happened


Plus we're still trying to fill the hole at LB/Pass rusher that people wanted Jones to fill.

No telling what Jones would have been in our defense. Probably worse with Vitt as his coach.

But I'll own up to it. That was one of the few times I lost it on ST.

Yeah, and then the entire 2014 and 2015 drafts happened.

I didn't like the Jarvis Jones pick for the same reason I didn't like the Huoli Kikaha pick. 5.0 edge rushers don't become stars in the NFL.
