Jacksonville Jaguar Arik Armstead-DT Thread

On April 28, 2015, Jordan was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violating the NFL's performance enhancing substance policy for a third time. According to sources, Jordan didn't fail a drug test, however, it was determined that one of his test samples was diluted, which is considered a strike.

Hopefully this is Aldon part deux

naw its nothing like the Aldon pick. The Aldon pic caught a lot of people off guard who didn't look past number 10 on the standard draft board, but once they did some research and realized his potential and story, he got the benefit of the doubt. Arik on the other hand just seems soft to me. Tons of potential and no real heart for the game. He might end up OK, but thats not what stars are made of. Stars eat and breath football. They want to be the absolut best. They are psychos about training and being the best. This dude seems way too happy and giggly. Seems like he's just along for the ride. Obviously, thats just my opinon, but we'll see.

I keep reading about how Arik might be another Jordan so thought I throw in my 2 cents hoping this won't repeat you guys swear I am stupid to think the niners drafted Dion lol get a grip

i haven't seen him talk yet but if he sounds like balmer or aj jenkins when he talks that is a bad sign, both of those 2 walked around giggly happy and humble, no swagger. need to see some swagger..i haven't seen him talk so don't know

I can't help but think of another defensive lineman from Oregon that had great athleticism, but minimal production, Dion Jordon. What's he up to now after being drafted very high by Miami.

Except Armstead isn't a great athlete at all. Not even close to it by NFL standards.

Marc Helfrich mentions how huge it was that AA gave up on his dream of being an NBA player to focus on football.

Not sure how that rings with me.

This is a page right out of Vic Fangio's book. Speaks the truth...keeps the rookie humble and let him know he's got a lot of work to do before he can earn a FT job. In the interim, like with Aldon, we'll slowly work him into the mix as part of a fresh rotation of DL now.

If Tank and AA pan out, thats a badass 3 man front.

and Baalke whifs it again. could of had peters. armstead will hardly see the field

I don't absolutely love this pick, but I don't hate it. Hopefully he is nothing like Kentwan Balmer.

I have a feeling we dealt because Miami took DeVante Parker, and maybe he was our real first choice.

But getting an extra 4th this year, and an extra 5th next year is great value for 2 spots.
