2016 NFL Draft: Myles Jack Is More Projection Than Sure Thing
The article has lots of game-day tape to show -- so I won't try and copy it here.
IT IS A GOOD READ.
..
It's the OFF-Season....
What else do you have to do ??
And if you reply "Watch Basket-ball." I'm calling your wife - and telling her, you need MORE things to do - on the "Honey Do" list !!

"It's not size or even bulk that makes Jack pigeonholed as a weak-side linebacker. He's very physical but almost to a fault. He doesn't use his hands when blockers approach. Jack slams into them to bounce off and then jets around. This is ineffective from a team-defense approach and increases the chance of injury."

And quotes like these are why this guy is on glue. That's true MLB instincts that can't be taught. Ray Lewis did that. Most of the true great MLB's had that card. When you blow up the lead blocker back into the gap, you have won the battle at the point of attack and force the back to move laterally into the hands of your teamates. What jack does that is so good is if you watch enough tape, the guy will blow up an O Land in one motion manage to stay on his feet and maintain his speed and be able to then chase down the play thats now forced to react away from his gap. He is basically the anti-JL55.

TSFH did make a good point though. He needs to play more disciplined, he does take too many flags. It's a fun discussion of what could have been, ultiumately. At this point, I don't see him getting past the Cowboys.

— ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reported UCLA linebacker Myles Jack wasn't cleared to participate at the combine as he recovers from the torn lateral meniscus he suffered in September, but in speaking to sources in Jack's camp, I was told he's expected to do everything at his March 15 pro day. Holding out of the combine is a precaution only, given that he's already been cleared to work out.

..
JALEN RAMSEY, FS
SCHOOL: FLORIDA STATE | CONFERENCE: ACC
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE: JUNIOR | HOMETOWN: SMYRNA, TN
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-1 / 202 LBS.
..
It's rare to see defensive backs mentioned as worthy of the No. 1 overall selection in the NFL Draft, but Ramsey deserves it with his natural playmaking skills. He can play cornerback (inside or outside), but his best NFL fit is in a nickel or safety role.
As a true sophomore in 2014, he led the Seminoles with 14 passes defended and finished second on the team with 9.5 tackles for loss, adding 79 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions. Ramsey occasionally lined up as Florida State's starting free safety in 2014, also moving inside as the "big" nickel defender and showing his versatility as a cornerback and hybrid safety/linebacker.

Ramsey moved to boundary cornerback as a junior in 2015 and although he didn't record an interception, Ramsey led the Seminoles in passes defended (10) for the second straight season, earning First Team All-ACC honors.

"Today, after having in depth discussions with my parents, my coaches and others whom I hold dear to my heart, I am announcing my decision to pursue my dream, forgo my senior year of football at Florida State and declare for the 2016 NFL Draft," Ramsey said in a statement Jan. 5 announcing he would enter this year's draft.
