Jones is the only one I think will be available to us when we pick. I really like him. He is a little undersized, not like Dungy's old defense undersized, but he isn't 6'6 300. However, he is really technically sound and advanced for a player coming out. He can also move all over the line, like Lewis he could play end and then move inside on passing downs. I think he is going to be a very good pro and I'm hoping we grab him with one of our top two picks.

If Eberflus follows that Dallas defensive strategy with their linemen. He might like bigger, taller guys. I think Tillery is a guy they could target in the first or early second. Taller, also has had a good season and was very disruptive applying a lot of pressure from the interior.
