I just think he's a one trick pony. Speed to the outside. I don't think he's going to be very effective in the NFL. He seems to lack vision, patience and strength. Seems to have bust written all over him to me.

Do you have scouting reports to back those thoughts? I'm seriously interested because he is likely on our radar.

Speed is exactly what we need to compliment Barber. I would be fine with Felix spelling Barber.

BraveHeartFan · 02-21-2008

I would NOT be unhappy with that draft. I would be perfectly ok with it.

sounds great to me

While I like Felix Jones and would certainly be happy with selecting him, I'm becoming a bit torn. Do we go after a change of pace explosive back like Jones to team with Barber, or do we go after a more complete back that could replace Barber if he sustained a serious injury, such as Mendenhall or Rice? Tough question. If you could be assured Barber won't get hurt, the choice is simple. However, there is no such assurance. Of course, the biggest thing influencing who we draft is who will still be available.

I agree a 100% if you are going to draft a RB in round one why draft a trick pony as you say. draft the best all around player if its a RB then fine but make sure they are not another Bush. if The barbarian goes down i could not see Jones coming in for a couple of games and the running game not loose a step. he is more of a gymic player

Do you people realize jones averaged 9.3 yards a touch this past season. I realize he wasn't starting, but that's impressive considering the SEC is the best conference in college football. Were not asking this guy to be the savior. This guy can cacth out of the backfield and is threat on special teams..... ill take that all day, everyday.
