Exactly. This seems like someone you draft in the 6th round as a project.

Good frame and speed for special teams. Seems to fit the bruising mold of Gore and Lynch, minus some vision. It's another attitude pick, hard nosed.

That said I don't know that they couldn't have gotten him tomorrow.

Love the Preston Smith pick and Jones can get us first downs and he can block. We're getting big and we're getting physical.

Washington Redskins ‏@Redskins 2m2 minutes ago
Gruden on RB Matt Jones: "He's a downhill-type runner." Said of visit: "We liked his attitude, passion for football."

Washington Redskins ‏@Redskins 3m3 minutes ago
Gruden on @PrestonSmith91: "great versatility ... lined up all over the defensive front." Calls him an "explosive player" at OLB position.

If they liked Jones enough to draft him this high, they're probably looking at him as competition for Morris.

Jay Gruden said Alfred Morris won't be affected by pick of rb Matt jones. Morris still the guy. #WASpick

Also, can't wait to see Brandon Scherff manhandle Randy Gregory when we play the Cowpukes.

Dude can move well and has good game speed. Would of rather picked up Dawson that went a couple picks later. This might be Alfo's replacement after his rook contract expires.

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

Folks get use to running the ball a ton this year, hence the Scherff pick and now this physical rb. This is a solid pick, maybe a round early but I think he will fit well with what McC wants...

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

I sort of get the feeling that Gruden isn't in love with Morris.

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

I always love when we pick someone that must mean the end of everyone else on the depth chart.

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

It might not be end of Alfred, however, the Matt Jones pick shows a change in the run game. Plus, Alfred will be looking to get paid after this year. Not sure if Jones is better than the other backs left on the board. Time will tell.

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

We couldn't punch the ball into the end zone on 3rd downs for a while. The skins will walk into the end zone with Jones and Sherff, that's a big mofo .

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

I like the way Jones plays like his hair is on fire. He goes all out all the time. He really finishes his runs. I also like that he is noted for his pass protection and ST play.

It seems to me that he was drafted too high but I really won't care about that if in the end this draft class makes us a better football team.

I now see the trend. Look for SM to draft big people who play hard during the rest of the draft.

Re: Nfl draft round 2 and 3 thread.

remember CP pass protecting and laying out guys with 60lbs on him?

compare that to last year where like half our sacks came on RB and TE whiffing on the most basic of blocks. we sucked hard here. this is a helu replacement.

that said, you can get pass pro blocks later, this feels too early, but it does fill an obvious need.

blocking TE/FS/OG left on the needs list.
