Good Article

Excellent article. The thing I find strange is that a 6'3" 272lbs Long might be too small for DE and too slow for OLB but a 6'5" 231 Jason Jones is perfect for a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 tackle.

Seems to me as it stands TODAY that Long is faster and just as heavy as Jones.

Long plays hard and is very productive. He has everything you want in a premier defensive end, except size or great pass-rushing speed.

Jason Jones, 6-5, 273, of Eastern Michigan is for a team that wants to take a swing for the fences. He stands out on film and ran under 4.8 at the combine. A late climber, Jones has come out of nowhere to become the choice of 3-4 teams looking for a two-gap type defensive end, as Jones is also viewed as a 4-3 tackle. He’s quick and athletic and compares favorably to the Steelers’ Aaron Smith. He’s a solid second-round prospect.
