re: Mike Jones

He chose to leave Clemson bc they were so high on an underclassmen at the same position is the story. I'd be willing to bet that he also just didn't mesh with the players/staff. I don't really take this as a character issue but rather just an opportunity for him to find a place more comfortable for himself to transition to the NFL. He's absolutely an NFL football player.

Sure, Bug Strong comes into a LB corps with Baskerville, Clarke, Sampah, White, Webb, Penn, etc. But, Mike Jones is still the proven difference maker right out of the gate of the group. His coverage skills and sideline to sideline pursuit are elite, and he comes in with a chip on his shoulder.

Mike Jones is an absolute take. I'd take To'To or Gaoteote with Jones, too. But, I think they will go elsewhere if Jones pops first. Then, you go OL (maybe not a plug and play but a guy that can get up to speed quick) or best player available.
