Better Know a Prospect - Jawuan James

Jawuan James - OT - Tennessee

With the Panthers in dire need of two new tackles, I believe they may be taking a long look at Jawuan James to compete immediately for the starting right tackle position.

James fits the mold of a David Gettleman lineman 6'6" and 311 pounds. His frame could easily put on another 10 pounds by September. At Tennessee, James showed NFL caliber strength and speed as well as technique. James has the ability to head down field in search of second level defenders on run plays and scrambles.

Set a UT record for 49 games started by an offensive lineman, all at right tackle. His durability is unquestioned. His extensive experience at RT makes him a possible game 1 starter.

James is currently projected in rounds 3 or 4, which makes him a prime target for the Panthers late 3rd round pick.

^ Reach in the 2nd round? He was listed as a top 50 overall prospect by NFLN post draft. The reach would be in the first, although as a Vol I've said many times I would rather have him than Tiny Richardson.

Jawaun James would be a fantastic 2nd round pick if he's even on the board, but I simply can't wrap my brain around counting on rookies so heavily when the rest of the line is so mind-numbingly weak right now, and when even the best of rookies struggle out of the gate.

^If NFLN listed him as a top 50 prospect and he could be a legit day 1 starter and MAY be able to move to LT after a year or two, why is it a reach in the 2nd? Sounds like a steal to me.

PS-considering he was a RT at UT, I'd be content with that. Another Georgia boy to boot to piss off the stinky birds.

I of course know he is a rookie. But I agree that the team will benefit for all of the mentioned reasons, but I want to introduce a benefit that has not been discussed. Watching the video, this guy kinda puts you in the mindset of a Jordan Gross type guy. Gross did not miss many games, also came in as a day  starter. I am also looking at the athleticism that the guy has. The main things being was the video mentioning that when he spoke you listened, and his "goof-ball" way of acting will fit right in with the O-Line we have now.

      Gotta wonder if Smitty's brain has turned to mush with how hard he played in the NFL

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.
