I understand he is currently rated as low first round/ high 2nd round, but I honestly wouldn't mind this pick at all at 18. I really like Jones tbh. I'd take him before Vac or Sly.

Thoughts?

Kid seems like a sure thing to me. Draft him and you potentially have a 10 year starter a center. Why pass on him to get a guy who some scouts label as lazy at times in Sly? Or a safty who doesn't get turnovers in the pass happy Big 12? Cooper, Womack, Shelden or maybe Austin would defiantly come before him, but I'd honestly take Jones over Vaccoro or Williams.

why when you can get him in the 2nd?

Can you get him in the 2nd? Whose to say he is not a first round grade in some other team's draft boards?

dude that guy is not a 1st round pick. he might not even be the best center in the draft.

I really believe Womack, Cooper, Fluker may not be there at 18. I hope I'm wrong but that could be the case. So yeah, you may want to trade down to get Jones but if you can't trade down, and those 3 are off the board then why not Jones IMO?

Just a bad reach man, no team has him rated as a 1st round grade NONE.

I'm not sure exactly when but I think teams will start looking at him in the third round.

His versatility is what separates him from Frederick IMO. Watching the kid the National Championship I honestly think he can be something special.

Well, I honestly hope your right. Cause if that's the case then lets get a potential sure thing the 3rd round.

Bryan Broaddus has said over & over again that the Cowboys don't like Jones.. I am not saying his word is gospel, but he is pretty close to the organization up at valley ranch.

I will be totally pissed off! Even if they take him in the third round, I'll hate it.

That would be a reach for the ages. Some publications (Scouts Inc is an example) have him available when Dallas picks in the 4th.
