    Fellas, please - it's "Young Jok".

    The rookie contract of a second-rounder will over the life of the deal pay... roughly equal to Yung Joc's current personal net worth, 4M.  It's a conspiracy!

    That's what happens when you live that 20:1 income to bar tab ratio.

    My biggest fear with this kid is that on some plays he naturally leads with his helmet... But I've seen plays where he leads with his shoulder... My point being is.. If this kid is what I think he is.. They might create rules because of him... I'm just glad he's on our team...

    I wonder if he’s been hit with targeting?  How often? That will tell you what you need to know.  The College game errs on the side of caution.

    I remember D Ward getting a cheap one against Maryland when he was at OSU

    interesting - this analysis says his one weakness is his size. He's 6'1", 215. Pollyneedstotakapupu was 5'10", 207.

    But Polamalu was a safety. Jok is supposed to be a linebacker.

    What do some of the great safeties do?  Cover the elite TEs, come on a blitz, great in run support.  Hell It will be nice to see a LB or S whatever position it is consistently tackle well

    you are missing the point. Jok is an amazing PLAYMAKER. He blew plays up in college.

    Troy Pollyfullapupu was an amazing PLAYMAKER. He blew plays up in college.

    Maybe it's just me, but I see similarities, so here's their college highlights.

    Cal calls JOK a linebacker but can't understand why his size is considered a possible weakness, and his reponse is comparing him to a player who was a safety.

    Quality stuff here.

    I agree that JOK "only" has safety size.... How will he fare in run support when teams put an offensive lineman on him- they're going to outweigh him by 100 pounds.   

    I'm not unhappy with the pick- but I learned my lesson long ago to not gush about a guy we just drafted... Time will tell...

    You are missing the point. One was a tremendous playmaker at a position he was built to play. The other may not be built to play the position he is scheduled to play. I hope you are right. That it won’t matter.

    He's a knight. If you know much about chess the optimal use is to jump in behind the other teams pawns (OL) and wreak havoc.??

    I vote for Rook.  Might be linear, but can move the length of the board.

    So can the Queen, plus the added abilities of the Bishop.?

    Queen, Rook and Knight all tough choices.

    The Pawn is ruled out.

    My goal within the next 30 days was to go through and watch the full season for all of our draft picks, including a couple notable UDFA (Wilson, mostly)

    Decided to start with JOK in the season opener against Duke as opposed to Newsome first.    Kid can fly, but like any young player attempting to get the mentals of the position down, what I saw has me raising some questions that I'm hoping are answered by film as the 2020 season progresses in my viewings.   Won't be posting much until I have the entire season knocked out or barring a huge off-season move.

    See you boys around Memorial Day.
