2012: Chandler Jones, DE, New England Patriots
Here’s another very solid pick. Of course, it was made by the Patriots, so that certainly has something to do with it. Jones started 13 games as a rookie and all 16 last season. In his first year, he had 45 tackles and 6 sacks, which are pretty good numbers for a first-year defensive end. He amped those numbers up in his second season, contributing 79 tackles and 11.5 sacks. If the Packers could draft defenders who could put up those kind of numbers, they’d probably be picking later in the first round this year.
