This is what we'll do. Stockpile picks until the last pick of the first round and ala 2002 Patrick Ramsey, we'll pick Matt Jones from Arkansas. then finish off with a corner in the second and and other picks later. Mark my words, its gona happen. Think outside the box Redskins, not to conservative

Matt Jones as a WR? Or QB? I'd like to see him in the Burgandy and Gold...but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Is drafting Matt Jones in the first round really a smart move? If we're aiming to draft a TE or WR are better prospects out there? :oink:

I think you're right BossHog. 1st round is too early, even if we trade down. But in the second round maybe? I don't think we need a TE. Cooley is good in the receiving role, and we can get a blocking TE fairly cheap.

I agree except for the order DHS, I believe we will deal down to the mid first and draft the best CB available, and then go after Jones in the second with what we obtain from trading down and whatever we may come back with for Gardner.

articles have this kid out to be the white Randy Moss and his size would destroy corners, we gota convert him to wideout not tight end. Its about creating mismatches. We may have to go after him in the 1st because he would be a early 2nd round pick and be gone by the pick we may obtained by trading down comes around, but I do like the trade down and give up Gardner situation to get a posible high 2nd round. get our second back from the saints...

Unless Pittsburgh continues thier tradition I don't see Matt Jones going before the third round. There are better QB prospects out there and most clubs are wary of using a high pick on a convert type player. I do agree he is a hell of an athlete but he will get caught up in the numbers game.

I DO like Jones's atheltic ability but I am VERY weary of using an early pick on him. I would like to address CB and WR with our early picks, not QB/WR prototypes.

i would see us taking him at 32 which is more like the 1st 2nd round pick.

If we knew the future and that we'd HAVE to take him at 32 to get him, I'd say pass. Just as someone else said, we don't have the enormous talent level that a team like the Eagles/Patriots has to take a gamble that early on someone who might not pan out.
