 |
|
|
| Quote: | | "He's two years away from being an Aldon Smith-type player," Mayock said of Jordan. "He's got frightening athletic skills. He’d be a situational pass rusher year one." Smith was a situational pass rusher in his first NFL season, as well. Truly an athletic freak at 6-foot-7, 230, Jordan is Mayock's top-rated outside linebacker prospect for the 2013 draft. A full rundown of Mayock's rankings are accessible at the link below. |

Jordan has very good potential due to his athletic ability, He is definitly in my group of picks at 6

| I totally agree with this. "Freak" is thrown around a lot regarding athleticism but in his case its true. Just so rare to see a guy that tall be so fluid and athletic. He at six would suit me just fine - I can just imagine the schemes Horton could come up with with him. |

just the though at 6'7 Oregon having him out covering the wideout is Mind boggling

| Agreed, very interested in him at 6 as well, seems versatile and born to play olb in a 3-4. No to mention fills a glaring need. |

Once again, Kam was spot on.
Kam has been raving about him for months now. Got me to watch a bunch of videos of him, and its easy to see why.
I just hope he shows up at the combine over 245lbs.

I like him but his pass rushing skills are nowhere close to Aldons as a prospect. Aldon is also more or less one dimensional whereas Jordan's strength is versatility.

I agree with this. Aldon Smith was a pass rush specialist day 1. Jordan would be more of a pass rusher who can drop into coverage. I really think his biggest strength is that he has the ability to cover the elite TE's in the game as well as some tall WR's.

I would hope for mor than that for a 6-7 guy. He'll need the muscle bulk to protect himself in the nfl.

I don't think Jordan is an option at 6 and I don't think he's an Aldon Smith-type player. I think he's more of a jack of all trades type OLB. He's really good in space. He'd be good dropping into a zone or covering a TE. He's going to develop into a solid pass rusher as well. I just don't think he's worthy of 6. Maybe 10-20.

He can't add weight thru his rookie year? ..
The answer is yea, he can.
If he shows up at 245 then he's geting better at adding muscle. He was once reported at 220 or something like that. Id love for him to be 270 as well, but he does play with good leverage already.

That may be dependant on his torn labrum and how healed it will be.

So, he can't ever add weight?
If he's cleared to play football, he can lift weights.

If he adds too much weight, he'd probably lose the qualities you drafted him for.
