Not a fan of the college game plus it’s hard on tv to focus on a single player.
First, how do you completely discount Gil Brandt’s comparing Jones to Peyton Manning, not Eli. Said before the draft. I know people will conjure up where Brandt liked other players who didnt make it but that’s some compliment.
Second, if Allen is the 2nd coming, why did Gruden and Mayock take Ferrell instead? Both are good personnel people.
I know the Giants need a pass rusher badly but they need a young QB also and what is the more important position?
Wow, seriously. Because many other NFL people sure do.
but pass rushers picked in the Top 10 have a higher bust rate than almost any other position. I would rather trust DG's judgment unless he has a conviction.
Simms thought Josh Allen wasn't a top 10 pick either.
Though he is an odd fit at DE.
“I. Love. Dan Jones,” Brandt said. “I have to say this carefully: When you watch him and you go back (20) years and watch Peyton Manning, you are watching the same guy. He’s athletic. He doesn’t have a rocket for an arm, but neither did Peyton. Very smart.”
Nowhere does he say that Jones has the potential or is as talented as Peyton. He's just saying there are similarities in terms of there intelligence and arm strength. The fact that he begins his comments with "I have to say this carefully" is telling you he's not saying he is the next Peyton.
