Lol, not productive . But had a good 40 in the combine. Is this for real?

Seems like a risk for a first rounder . 9.5 sacks in three years sounds like back up numbers.

Sounds like the Jags FO should’ve run this by you first

Never mind all the NFL talent around him that skews numbers

OU fans dont get to discuss defense with the sec elite. Frankily, the qb or ball carrier was on the ground before he could get to them....

It’s almost like he wasn’t asked to be a pass rusher in the defense he was in.

He wasn't even the best defensive player on the field in the national title game.

Hutchinson gets compared to Watt but their only similarity is they are both white. Dude is too small and got handled when faced with nfl type talent of which there was little in the big10.

None of our players racked up stats. Guess they all sucked. Good point ou fan. Enjoy sucking again.

It’s almost like he wasn’t a starter til this year. Might blow your mind if I told you no player on our team had more than 6.5 sacks this year, Travon had 6.

How can that be? Georgia’s defense must suck.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning tells ESPN's Chris Mortenson that he thinks UGA's "Travon Walker's ceiling is as high as anybody's in this Draft, and that he will be a better NFL defensive player even than he was in college."

This is dumb for a number of reasons.

#1. Sacks aren't everything or even the goal of many plays. Sure they are nice, but the real goal is to simply affect the QB in a negative manner. There is no official stat for that, but it's going to be something coaches look at.

#2. Teams game plan around these kinds of players. This pretty much goes in hand with what I said above, however the effects are happening before the game even starts. They will call plays that have extremely short developing times. What you are less likely to see are deep developing plays that require the QB to sit in the pocket for a few extra seconds.

#3 Along those same lines, the sack stat doesn't tell you how much attention the guy is grabbing from the offense. Meaning how many blockers is it taking to contain the guy. I'm not familiar with the guys playing that much, but I know these are the things that actually matter to coaches, not a sack stat.

So when you cite a single stat as being the end all indicator of a player, I just think you are dumb.

Swing and a miss. This is a perfect Kirby can't develop but the NFL knows it can lob. WTF is wrong with you?

Seems like a gamble to take him #1, but I've seen much worse #1 picks, mainly QBs, and he seems to have all the tools, so maybe it will work out of them. It was a weird, kind of weak draft this year, so its not shocking that the Jags went with him.
