Agreed but he more than likely goes top 5 if not number 1 overall.
Steelers 2013 Draft
1--Jarvis Jones OLB Georgia
2--Jesse Williams NT Alabama
3--LeVeon Bell RB Michigan State
4--Jordan Poyer CB Oregon State
5--Earl Wolff SS North Carolina State
6--Josh Boyd NT Mississippi State
6---Conner Vernon WR Duke
7--Vince Williams ILB Florida State
Not only that but Georgia plays a 3-4 just like the Steelers. Not sure why Rob thinks he isnt a true LB.He's a OLB. What is your definition of "true" LB?
EDIT: I didn't see the 'I' in 'ILB' in this thread title

3-4 OLB'ers are rush ends. They are not considered pure Linebackers. They are "Tweeners". Jarvis Jones is NOT a pure linebacker. He is a pass rusher first.
Dont agree. He does drop in coverage. Regardless, 12.5 sacks with 22.5 TFL's and 7 FF's, he is a big time play maker. And his 77 overall tackles shows he is more than just a rush end.

None of which play in a 3-4 or had to change positions in the pros. Big difference.

You are right on with this steelz09. And I'd take Jones or Te'o too.

Maybe so, but with QB being the premium position every year teams reach high (often too high), on QB out of desperation. Geno Smith and Matt Barkley will play a huge roll in many players dropping that shouldn't have. I personally think if Te'o gets past the Buffalo Bills (who have a ton of other needs), he will more than likely be draft anywhere from 10-14.

Gods Be Damned its laughable how many people think its some mythical transformation to play in the 3-4 versus the 4-3. Its a much harder transition for 3-4 OLB than it is for the 3-4 ILB.
Doesn't make him a traditional Linebacker period. Traditional Linebackers primary role is not to rush the passer. That WAS Jones' primary role as well as setting the edge in the run game.
Don't get me wrong. I would take Jarvis Jones in a hot minute. Especially over Te'o.
He's not going to slide anymore than Kuechly did. That doesn't mean we should be selecting an ILB that high. Just my personal opinion of course.
