[Ochmed Jones]

6"5/320 with 36" arms

I brought him up a while back. He was surrounded by future nfl defensive linemen and somewhat overlooked, but his tape as a run stuffer is pretty good. He needs to get the pads lower, get stronger and heavier and anchor better, but after a red shirt year, he could be a desperately needed improvement over guy, who has next to nothing left in the tank.

Have you seen McCall from kentucky I believe on some 1 vs 1 reps ? He is a NT as well and did really well

In the bowl game I thought he handled center lindbaum of iowa 1on 1 with relative ease.

in the game against Georgia, he got pushed around and looked pathetic. (Worse than a jets fan taking the Mensa test.)

One thing bb is exceptional at is putting players in the perfect position to succeed. If we draft this kid in the sixth round, I am 100 percent positive that bb will simplify his game to the “a” gap and turn him into a solid rotational piece of our defensive line.

I just wanted to point out that this phrase is hilarious and shouldn't be overlooked.

Ridgeway at Arkansas (the Captain recommendation) looks great to me. Penetrates, does not get pushed around, throws guys aside, runs well pursuing, etc. He is in the Level 2 list. Why is that? What do I not understand? Why is he not a Level 1 guy?

Silly length

Tier two is still pretty high. He's just not a round 1-2 prospect imo.

It's too late for detail but consistency, consistency that ties into pad level. Hit or miss. Footwork against doubles is hit or miss. So is his hands to disengage. Loses his ground as he tries to reset the los he needs to get stronger all around imo. Not particularly quick off the ball. Love his motor and toughness but he's a round 4-5 guy for me unless he blows up his testing which I'd be a little surprised to see.

According to Lazar Travis Jones is doing very well at the Senior Bowl practices

Not easy being this far ahead of the curve but I do it for you guys.

If he keeps this up we might need to trade up in the second if we want to get him

If we could land him our run defense would look so much better , he would be a great value in the second and fit as well as need

From another thread Travis Jones is a kid I've had my eye for a few years. Local guy. Excels against the run. Resetting the line. Head and eyes are always up, looking in the backfield. Seems to know what type of run is coming and heads that way before others. Can handle doubles but could be Smooth fluid movements doesn't look stiff moving around at all. Plus anchor / base and lower half strength.

...

Very good all around run defender. He could improve some footwork and awareness while getting doubled but he can handle himself just fine. Balance could improve a little while on the move. I could have him be more aggressive overall but that's me. Very strong upper and lower half. Really good hand placement and activity. Plays his gap and secondary gap with ease. Can cause a pile up head on or cross face to make a play somewhere else. Very good backside defender. Like Davis not much of a rusher but good bull rush.

Jones, JJ, Luketa & Sanders are on my list.

Or trade down in the 1st and get an extra 3rd.

I am on record liking Ridgeway and Winfrey, but there seems to be a lot of great DL this year. Let's hope we get 2 good ones.

As a fan of the Magilla Gorilla cartoons (and its sponsor Ideal Toys - Mouse Trap, Crazy Clock, Fish Bait etc), I LOVE this nickname! If he keeps up his progress, #85 might be too late for him (I had originally hoped for his availability at #123)...
