Says Dion Jordan played this season at 226lbs but is already up to 234 and plans to be 250 by the combine. Idk about you guys but I really like Jordan in the first. He's an absolute freak athlete with very long arms on a 6'6 frame. He would be a terror coming off the edge as a situational pass rusher and could possibly play linebacker in certain situations.

He may be light now, but Bruce Irvin was only 245 heading into the combine, was drafted by a 4-3 team, and had 8 sacks in his rookie year! I'd take that over the pathetic effort that Tuck and Osi gave this year.

Dion Jordan is more of a 3-4 OLB in my mind.

He looks more built to play professional basketball or baseball than football at the moment. I guess he could bulk up to a Julius Peppers type of size but considering the length of time that would take and the uncertainties that comes along with that percentage of weight gain, it's just way too risky to be comfortable taking a 1st round pick on this kid.
