Maybe Jonah is one of those outliers, but there is another prototype out there who has better grades on far more sets...and is as elite as it gets physically. It's a no contest to me.

In the same way that the 3 cone doesn't measure your footwork on routes, the 20 yard shuttle doesn't measure your footwork on pass sets. Your footwork on each of those are integrated techniques. Its great to have upper tier agility but you also need the technique or it doesn't mean much in the NFL.  

Yeah this isn't a Jonah vs Dillard debate, just that Jonahs shuttle isn't much of a death sentence due to his high level technique. Dillards gonna be a v good tackle

You realize the Jaguars had a season where they surrendered only 24 sacks just two years ago, with players picked by Caldwell. right?

We've Pat Flaherty to thank for that
