I think Johnston is a mid-late round 3 prospect. So if the Jags want him, they might have to use their first pick in round 3 to get him. Chances are that when the Jags assess him they will do so accurately.

I also like Langford. Langford is better against the run than Johnston, but Johnston is probably a better pass rusher.

I keep seeing his stock rise to the point where he could easily be a Rd 3 pick. In fact he might not be available when the Jags select at Pick 89 in Rd 3.

His Pro-Day workout certainly opened some eyes, especially with his 40 time. Still he is a very raw product coming from a school that plays on the same level as Jacksonville University, which is one step above club football.

I like him and so apparently too do the Jags or they would not have invited him to a private workout here in J-Ville.

I think that he is going to be a good player, and if he is around in the late Fourth, I say we definitely go for him.

I just don't know how long it's going to take until he becomes productive at a NFL level.

i think tht he could be this yers clint ingram. everyone was expecting us to reach for a thomas howard to play sam that year but we targeted a guy with similar skill sets later in the draft. i would hate to reach at 26 when you have kids like this in the draft later.

he is 274 6'5 carries it well in the mid 4.7's runsa great 10 yard split, has runningback like short area acceleration.

i owuld ask stigma and the other draft oracles to let me know what they think about the kid, where he fits and if he projects to weakside end in this league.
