And how exactly was Jarvis Jones a proven NFL LB?

I can't wait till all you Jarvis Jones suckers re-evaluate the Kenny Vaccaro pick in six months, end of the season, later on, etc... Even without Victor Butler then, Vaccaro would have remained near the very top spot on our draft board (per coaches), and Jarvis would have remained nowhere in sight; the pick would have been the same. Based on the evident need at the position (OLB), it would have been easy for SP, ML, RR, to pick Jones without reservation, cause that's what most of you wanted them to do, but these guys know what they are doing. Go watch film on Vaccaro, and you will be re-assured of this fact. The dude can play both safety spots and CB in Nickle and Dime situations (and probably straight-up, if we asked him to.) He's gonna be a hell of playmaker in the backfield, which is arguably just as important a need as are pass-rushing linebackers in a multi-set 34. He needs to improve his ball skills, but that's not a liability if you consider that a dropped interception is still a pass defended, and so we can afford to wait for that part of his game to improve. Just wait and see. They know what they are doing
