His agent. Surely the most unbiased source.

Better.
He's not a 'mediocre ****ing stiff', just because you haven't personally heard of him.

Of course I've heard of him; and know of him too... Thus my "mediocre stiff" comment.

More stupidity from you. It's why your evaluations prove to everyone you have no clue about the game.

I like that Jones is much stouter of a DE than both Landry & Chaisson.
He's thicker and has a great low center of gravity - which is better for stopping the run. More like Jennings actually.
So Ponder projects to be the Chaisson role - more similar to the longer pass-rusher type.
But I expect another high round EDGE in the draft.
Question is - can Landry still provide anything? He has a pretty high $$ for a bench player. And, maybe he'll be better with full offseason of recovery, but he was useless down the stretch. But according to contract structure they're stuck with him one more year.

Jones seems to be pretty agile for a guy his size, or maybe relative to Giliam he looks super agile:

Hopefully Gilliam doesn't do a lot of changing direction for us this year based on that video. Just run straight into people, my man

It's okay if he's Bond instead of the parkour guy.

Not complaining, exactly, but a little frustrating that this team seems to have a much easier time bringing in defensive talent than offensive.

That's because teams either franchise or the-sign their best offensive tackles and wide receiver.

It's not seen in the clip, but they sold me after Bond ran through the wall. There was lots of controversy with Daniel Craig being cast as Bond, but that ended during this chase scene. It told us this was not the same Bond we've seen in the past.

Loved Casino Royale.

Best Bond movie ever.

I'm ok with a FB (and EDGE rusher) who runs through walls instead of vaulting them.

Jones actually looked pretty damn quick for his size. I loved this FA class, but I do wish they brought in a different ILB and another Edge. I absolutely trust this FO and coaching staff other than Marrone.

I feel they have become more physical and that is something I am for.

I was listening to Nick Cattles and he said that according to next gen stats he had the 4th most pressures from the Edge when 1 V 1 with 44. I read a thing that Barmore had the 2nd most pressures when double teamed, I like what this team is doing with the DL.
