    SUMMARY: With the 54th pick of the 2008 NFL, the Tennessee Titans selected Jason Jones, DE, Eastern Michigan.
    NFL.com: Lacks ideal bulk and has just adequate quickness, but displays excellent arm length to keep blockers away from his body...Lacks explosiveness off the snap, but has the functional speed to get into the gaps to disrupt the plays...When he keeps his hands active, he has good success in attaining leverage over the blocker and his long arms allow him to stack opponents at the line...

    Will be interesting to see where they play him (inside or out).

    Good pick. But not great IMHO.

    He's a good player, but not the explosive guy that someone like Groves is.

    You'd think we'd draft someone with the skill sets to go after the ducks that vince throws.

    Not too excited about this one, but fills a need, and serviceable. Sounds like big dude who can fill a couple positions on the D-Line.

    It's a copy cat league and we all saw what pressure did in the SB this year as well as how it helped us. Jason Jones looks like he could add a Justin Tuck type dimension to our team. Big DE who has played inside....Tuck arguably made his biggest impact pass rushing inside.

    I really wanted Groves, but maybe Jones fits better since we already have 2 small/fast DE's and no tweener type like Jones (I don't consider Brown as much of a tweener).
