    They weren't clamoring for him early in the draft or anything, but they would of liked him as a mid-late round pick.

    This guy is great in coverage

    Exactly what we need from our #3 ILB

    I think he'll have a role, even if totally specialized. This is a solid pick up that may contribute for years to come. I think someone that could cover the tight end on 3rd down was a great pick up.

    He covers RB's better than TE's. There is no way he is going to be able to cover Gronk or Kelsey one on one but I think Lou Spanos really liked him from his UCLA days.

    That late in the draft you pick players who excell at something or have elite measurables but are just super raw. Obviously he doesn't have the measurables but his specialty is coverage. Much like the NBA with its stretch forward trend, the NFL and its move TE trend is changing the LB role and you will see a lot of teams draft guys like Jayon in the future.

    If he can cover a TE, he'll stick.

    At this point forget Gronk and Kelce, a guy who can cover division rival 3rd string TE is an improvement

    If he is as quick in pads as some seem to think, I would like to see him take some snaps at safety. I would most certainly like to hear they try him out at safety in training camp to see how he does. Could he possibly be a Polamalu?

    Lol what about this guy makes you think he's a polamalu? Did he run 4.33? Does he show rare instincts to the ball? Can he hit like a Mack truck?

    No.
