Jones Declares for NFL

[CJDAWG85]

Per Facebook.

Good for Chris. I expect once everything shakes out, he'll be a late 1st round pick or mid to early 2nd. He'll do well, so long as he plays hard.

I don't get it.... Had better stats than Kimchee

Big-time talent, but never seemed to quite live up to the hype.

Definitely pro physical traits for MSU DL Jones, production didn't always match skills though.

They measure production in stories fallen, tip jars raided, bongs smoked, and frat boys punched.

i hope he dominates the combine. I bet a friend of mine in the fall of 2014 that he would be a first round pick when he got drafted. he said there is absolutely no way and i thought it was easy money at the time...hell i thought he was going to be in the top half of the first round. he still will have that chance to creep up the board. all going to depend on his combine i guess

All about perception and we do a shitty job of controlling it.

Congrats to CJ. Another MSU and State of Mississippi kid that gets a shot at the big time.

He's gotten a reputation for taking plays off. I thought he was a lot better this year though. Either way he's gonna make crazy money, good luck to him.

Chris is a 1st round talent, but his biggest obstacle will be how many plays he talks off when the scouts watch his film.

Chris was a good player for us, but it's hard to teach passion, love of the game, & leadership. Not saying the Chris lacks any of those three, but I don't believe he's above average in any of them. Good player that will need to learn how to be a professional

Great Defensive Lineman, Will play Def End at the next level . Meant a lot to the program

[Irondawg]

If he doesn't find a way to get into at least the 2nd round then it was (at least financially) probably a mistake coming out now. There's a huge drop in guaranteed money when you slip past the first two rounds.

[Really Clark?]

Your posts are kind of strange. Great end? He was a defensive tackle.

Either a rebel troll or someone who doesn't pay attention and has no clue. Or both.

He's another Fletcher Cox. It will not surprise me once scouts really take a look at him and Nkemdiche that Jones goes before Nkemdiche.

[mic]

Who has a better pro career ???
Jones or Nkdemechie

My $$ is on CJ...

Only if Nkemdiche comes up with some more red flags in his background because he's going to kill the combine & GM's & Scouts are going to fall in love with him again.

Frankly, I think the answer to this question will come down to which player loves the game more & figures out how to be professional. I don't see the answer being determined by talent.

Kimchee is something between Ricky Williams & Greg Hardy & CJ is something between Fletcher Cox & post getting paid Albert Haynesworth. Both have their flaws that will need to be ironed out in order for either to have long term success

I don't care who you are ... unless you're the waterboy, everybody takes plays off ... no way anyone can go 100% for 80-90 plays

Kimchee equals superman
CJ does not equals superman

[Count]

I think Chris Jones is the better player. I believe Kemdichie probably played stoned half the time

haha I will gladly take a polygraph. kinda twitchy are you.

[Political Hack]

1) his production never hit his talent level. That's an accurate statement.

2) Kimchee's production was closer to the short bus talent level than it was a lottery pick, but that has nothing to do with CJ.

CJ should've come back IMO, but Fletch left in a similar situation and it worked out great for him. There are some people that should go. JRob made the right decision. His stock had no chance at drastically improving. Dak should've possibly gone last year but in the end I think he will have made the right decision. The drop in his INts will be key when scouts look at him. Even though Will got hurt it was smart for him to come back. He elevated his draft slot.

I agree with both tweets and look forward to watching Jones in the NFL. He's a Bulldog and will most likely represent us well.

[louisvilledawg]

Definitely think "Count" is a troll. He's been a member for a year and a half and has only posted 10 times? Plus most of the stuff he says is illogical and vague.

[TUSK]

Any of you draft gurus have a clue on if/when Bammer's front 3 (Robinson, Reed, Allen) will be drafted? I'd love for Robinson or Allen to return...

[OurState]

Going at the top of the second can be much better than going late in the first bc you become a FA a year earlier. Under the current construct you can't get rich on you dolor at contract. The NFLOA ****ed the rookies.

Nkemdiche has more red flags than China.

Nobody freakin' cares, dude. Go google Mel Kiper.

Lol you have become funny lately. I like it!!

[Coach34]

The NFL is going to investigate Kimchee hard- I've already seen an article saying a GM will tell his people taking him before 20 is insane...He will fall once his skeletons come to light. But he is still a talented mf'er- no matter how ****ed up he is.

Jones is talented and played a damn good DT the 2nd half of the season. I cant explain why he was so much better the 2nd half- but scouts will ask alot of questions. Jones is valuable because he can play a 4-3 DT or a 3-4 DE. If he busts his ass for the combine- he can get in the 1st round late.

Makes for an interesting April. I said Kimchee would not be top 15 pick- I stand by it.

[TUSK]

Nobody freakin' cares, dude. Go google Mel Kiper.

with all due respect, Mr. Goat... fvck off....

We've had 2 declare early. Ohio state has had 9 so far... Wow.

[Dallas_Dawg]

Tusk, Ashawn will go After Kimchee but before Chris Jones, IMO. He could be top 20 before said and done.
Not sure about Allen.
And I bet Nkemdiche goes in the 1st 15 picks. Folks were saying last year that Jameis Winston wouldn't be a top 5 pick and he went number 1 overall. As a quarterback
