2017 NFL Draft: Round 1 discussion


Recommended Posts

Need a WR. Someone to catch the ball.

Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina

Height: 6-1. Weight: 202. Arm: 32.25. Hand 9.

40 Time: 4.45.

Projected Round (2017): 2-3.

4/25/17: At the combine, Jones continued his tremendous offseason with a fast 40 time and an impressive showing in the field drills. He has an outside chance of cracking the first night of the 2017 NFL Draft and is a lock to go on the second day.

 

Jones had video game-like production playing in a college offense that inflates numbers. As a senior, he totaled 158 receptions for 1,746 yards with eight touchdowns. Jones had other quality production as a junior (98-1,099-5), sophomore (81-830-5) and freshman (62-604-5). Jones set an NCAA record for receptions, breaking the total previously held by former teammate Justin Hardy.

 

Jones was phenomenal at the Senior Bowl and really helped his draft stock. He showed a quick burst off the line with the speed to get separation. Jones also ran good routes with excellent hands and showed a knack for getting away from the secondary late. He plays bigger than his listed numbers and has functional size for the NFL. Some team sources have said they graded Jones in the third round.

 

Definitely a need but seems like a reach...
