I really like him... but I have a philosophical question about players like this...Patrick Jones is a guy who I'd consider at #18 but, would pound the table for at 2A. He brings a versatile skill set. He's played both RDE and LDE in a 4/3. Has played both OLB spots and has also rushed from a standup MLB. I've seen him drop into coverage from that MLB spot on occasion as well. The only question I have about him, is he capable of playing a 3/4 DE in Flores scheme. I'm praying Miami's coaches are coaching the team Jones is assigned to, at the senior bowl. I love this kid. Think he's a truly underrated player, who's seriously being over looked.
Do you run up and grab him, or do you take a risk and let him slide down to where you believe others value him?
I tend to be the guy who risks losing a few in order to always get best value, but I do see that doing it the other way may make sense if you really love the guy. Honestly, I liked Robert Hunt last year, but I think we reached a bit on him.
