   Chandler Jones' draft stock has been steadily rising recently, and might go in the first round tonight. It can't hurt that one older brother is an NFL lineman and his other older brother is Jon Jones

that's Jon "Bones" Jones to you, subby.

didn't know this until last night, but apparently those Jones' brothers lost a sister just before her 18th birthday, cancer. She helped raise the boys while mom was working.

Seems like a bunch of good dudes.

Drafting a player because he has famous athlete siblings always works out.

Chandler Jones is a classic college pass rusher. He's never been asked to play OLB and never demonstrated a consistent ability to stop the run. Anyone who drafts him in the first round will be disappointed.

And I'm a Syracuse alum/fan.

In this case, I wouldn't underestimate him. The Jones family is full of great athletes with a solid work ethic.

Pro scouts are saying just the opposite, that all he lacks is a great first step and some footspeed. They say his frame and tackling are top-shelf.

/Jon Jones is the best fighter to ever walk the planet

If a guy is already good, and he has 2 brothers that both got markedly better in their early 20's and are still improving, then it stands to reason that there's a very good chance his potential hasn't been maximized. Higher ceiling.

So yes, it absolutely matters that two guys who share 99.99% of his genes made great leaps physically at around the age he is now.
