Matt Jones: TE, WR or Bust?
WR: It's where everyone says he'll end up, and it's tough to argue with a 6'6", 240 lbs guy who has a 40" vertical and runs a 4.40 40, even if it might take him a year or two to develop. Comparisons to Drew Bennett are being made.
TE: Hey, but with those stats, could he be Tony Gonzalez, mk. II, but better? Bust: Great stats, sure, but Mike Mamula had great stats too. He'll never develop.... Discuss. |

I would be very happy if the Eagles drafted him and cut Freddie Mitchell

Jerry Jones is supposedly in love with the guy and wants to go get him, but Parcells is the one running the draft.
Supposedly a scout asked Jones about playing tight end, and Jones responded with something like, "You want me to put on 20 pounds and go from a 4.4 to a 4.6? Why?" I wouldn't mid seeing him in the silver and blue...

I'd say there's a big difference between a WR and a LB. Of all the positions in football, I tend to believe that WR has much more to do with physical tools and desire than other factors. I'd *love* to see him in a Falcon uniform.

Maybe Denver can swing a trade for Cleveland's 2nd round pick and nab Jones.

Also from SI.com's "Five On the Rise:"
Matt Jones, Arkansas, Receiver -- Jones has quickly emerged as the ultimate climber of this draft and it's not hard to understand why. The former Razorbacks quarterback has posted freakish numbers this spring. Despite his intriguing size (6-foot-6, 242 pounds), he has run a sub-4.4 40 and has almost a 40-inch vertical leap. Says one AFC personnel man: "In this draft, [Jones] could definitely sneak into the first round. It might take you a year or two to develop him, because he's a project at receiver, but if you hit with him, you could hit big.'' But cap realities being what they are, Jones is a tricky call. While everybody loves the idea of taking a project player, it takes some moxie to step up and make that kind of wager on the future on the draft's first day. "If you can't really count on him playing much in the first two years or so, how can you take him in the first two rounds?'' another veteran personnel man said. "He's a great athlete and has great speed, but where do you play him? Right now he's not playing as fast as a receiver because the position is so new to him that he's stopping to think before he moves. He loses some speed at receiver.''

I bet he ends up with the Patriots. Belichick has to be drooling at a guy who can possibly play so many positions.

If the Giants draft him, he'll bust.

I think every team would like to gamble on him in the 2nd round if he's there, but I think he'll go at the end of the first.

Is Keith Byars really worth a first round pick?

I think he would be an excellent replacement for Burress in Pittsburgh. That being said, i hope we either take an offensive or defensive lineman, or try to trade up if one of the top 3 backs falls. There are several other WR i'd rather see us take in the first round, and maybe even another TE(miller).

I'm a huge Keith Byars fan, but Byars never had this type of speed. I'd love to see the Eagles take him. |
