In my last Oakland Raiders mock draft, I had them take Taiwan Jones, inside linebacker, from Michigan State. And after dedicating that little section I did to him then, I decided that he needs his own. He is a very good football player and not too many people know about him right now.

All the talk is on Denzel Perryman and Benardrick McKinney as the top inside linebackers coming out in the draft. And right now, McKinney seems likely to go in the first round and Perryman has an outside shot at it. But even though Jones is only slotted to go in the fifth round, he may have a better NFL career than both of them.
