Lets hope he turns out better than our last Sun Devil pick.Nice little write up on Jones in SI. Sounds like he dealt with some (self-made) adversity and worked hard to overcome it. Maybe Herm gave him a glowing rec?

Def a change from last year where it was blue blood schools at the top. And last year was their best draft in a while.So far we have:
Cole Strange, pick 29 (SMU #53, Jeremiah #74, ESPN #77, Arif consensus #76)
Tyquan Thornton, pick 50 (SMU off board >280, Jeremiah off board >150, ESPN #117, Arif consensus #155)
Marcus Jones, pick 85 (SMU #125, Jeremiah #123, ESPN #91, Arif consensus #93)
Jack Jones, pick 121 (SMU off board >280, Jeremiah off board >150, ESPN #192, Arif consensus #235)
Anyone else feel like they're working off a printout of their draft board and the intern left the first page on the printer?
I was excited when I thought he went to U of A.Jack Jones Ariz, CB is the pick. Another reach.
But now I'm out.Nice little write up on Jones in SI. Sounds like he dealt with some (self-made) adversity and worked hard to overcome it. Maybe Herm gave him a glowing rec?

At least this one won't be criticized if he doesn't get separationLets hope he turns out better than our last Sun Devil pick.
Try right to left if that doesn't work for you.Trying to pick the Patriots next pick, I am reading the prospect ranking from the bottom up lol
My son was too. He's beginning at U of A in the fall. He hates ASU.I was excited when I thought he went to U of A.

Yeah, there’s just as many people “spoiling” the picks as there are people whinging about “spoilers“, so not 100% sure it’s a group decision. The draft has become such a bloated, drawn out process that they can’t keep up with the actual selections of guys who will face long odds of making it through their first contract. It’s far more interesting to me to hear the pick here than give ESPN or the NFL Network a second of my viewing time.Eh. Its Day 3. The picks are 2 behind. I won't do it because I will respect the group decision of course.
Smart kid. I'm class of...'01? Eep.My son was too. He's beginning at U of A in the fall. He hates ASU.
Then spoil them just like ifmanis just did.

He was a round 3 projection...first time all draft can't say reach!Ohhh let me guess
reach
Undersized
Too old
Smu didn’t rank him
Not the position I'd have wished for either, but giving yourself an option in case you don't want to resign Harris makes sense.RB? Why?
Not resigning Harris next year?
Nope. He’s a pure explosive runner, he doesn’t profile as a receiving back at the momentDo we think Strong is more of a receiving type back that's hopefully James White's "successor"?
So you're saying he has a fatal flaw that everyone but BB saw?He was a round 3 projection...first time all draft can't say reach!
Yeah - his name is Strong not Quick.Nope. He’s a pure explosive runner, he doesn’t profile as a receiving back at the moment
More of a slasher. They'll have to teach him receiving, they did that with Vereen, though.Do we think Strong is more of a receiving type back that's hopefully James White's "successor"?
What I've read in my comprehensive 4 minutes of research is that he ought to be a good receiver but has "inconsistent hands", and is willing but needs development in pass-pro. But apparently very talented runner.Do we think Strong is more of a receiving type back that's hopefully James White's "successor"?
You Only Al Davis OnceTake the fastest players you can find & see if you can teach them how to play football? YOLO.
Hell, that's how the Raiders got where they are.Take the fastest players you can find & see if you can teach them how to play football? YOLO.
Was hoping for the fastest LBSo in Strong and Thornton we drafted the fastest skill position players at the combine? Neat
