Jones “still another intelligent choice” for ravens
Here is an overview of the experts and reactions of experts to the selection of Jones:
Phointerman: “Grade: A. Jones (6-5 ¼, 315) started for three consecutive seasons in the right tackle for the LSU and twice the honors of the second team of the second team.
Matt Verderame de Sports illustrated: “Grade: A-. Jones is an interesting perspective at 6 ‘5” and 315 pounds. With the Tigers, he started 36 games, all right. However, despite a good arm length at 34¼ “, he projects to kick inside and play guard in the NFL due to a lack of foot speed on the edge. With a great experience in a high -end program, Jones should be a long -term starter.”
Trapasso: “Grade: A-. To the experience in OT and OG which plays with a calculated / patient style and never opens the door too early, so its external shoulder is a real challenge to move. Must play with more wickedness although there are load climbs on the second level which stand out on the film.
Iyer: “Grade: B. The Ravens make another intelligent choice to fill the need for a right tackle of racing with a swing backup potential behind Roger Rosengarten and Ronnie Stanley.”
Middlehurst-Schwartz: “Grade: B. A robust blocker at 6-5 and 315 pounds, Jones can obscure some of his shortcomings by moving inside to keep. His discipline can vacillate, but he can be a force in the race game.”
Brinkerhoff: “Grade: B. Jones mainly played the tackle in college in front of Will Campbell, but will probably end up like a goalkeeper in the NFL. He has a good size and a solid athletics, but may not have the technique and skills to hang on the tackle. Otherwise, he will provide a good depth and a potential starter on the line inside.”
Valentino: “Grade: B-. Move inside to guarantee most of the problems of Emery Jones, and the Ravens need immediate help there. Sensation in the dry, Jones profiles like someone who can become a role and take gigantic jumps throughout his recruit season. He has the tools to be a starter by the year.”.
Joseph Acosta of SB Nation: “Grade: B-. Jones was outside my Top 100, but among the guards left on the board, he is the best guy for the Ravens scheme. He is a competitor with the power in his setting, but must work on his feet to stay in the tackle. Ravens need competition in care, and Jones can become a starter there.”
Sobleski: “Grade: C. Baltimore ravens like the great physical, physical and strong offensive plated. They do not necessarily worry about varnish or exactly where they will play. They want to dominate the point of attack. Emery Jones of LSU adapts to their profile to a T. just like a real teammate LSU Will Campbell, Jones also supported Campbell, Projection as a real newman and has never resulted in employment.
Professional football focus: “Grade: lower than average. The Ravens tackle the concerns of the depth of their interior offensive line with Jones. Although he is still a raw player and has not generated PFF notes too impressive in LSU, it may be largely due to play out of position in Tackle. Its long arms and a good anchor in the protection against the passes led to a grade of pass of pass of 67.4 pff, showing its potential. “
Edholm: “Jones is a player for whom I am always drawn because he has all the tools to be special, but the band is simply incoherent. It is interesting to note that the Ravens have listed it as a tackle; some teams have projected Jones inside, but its length and its athletics could operate outside.”
Hensley: “The Ravens responded to their best need in attack by taking Jones. He is a three -year starter known for his race blockage, but he was effective in the protection against the passes. Jones could have the chance to compete with Andrew Vorhees for the Place de la Garer, which is the only starting work to be won on the NFL N ° 1 offense.”
