For several months leading up to the draft that year my sig was "anyone but Benson", i pre-cringed cause I had no doubt our r3trd FO was clueless on true player evals and metrics and instead just drafted based on somewhat meaningless stats.
Why do you think that?
It’s a contract year. He’s putting in extra work to come back strong.
He's been in a boot until a week ago. Where do you get the info he's "putting in extra work"?
This next contract is going to be his highest paid. You’re right, injuries may derail him, but if he stays healthy, I think he has a great year.
If all these players just magically play so much better with a contract on the line, GMs should give everybody one year contracts.
Issue is that he said he was in a lot of pain and generally, the pain from that is not the actual fracture but an association to it. Dude will definitely see some MRIs before this draft.
Other than slow and able to shed a block, they are different backs. Not a qualitative assessment but I don't think he goes in 2. Monty went in 3 in a weaker RB draft.
I don't disagree as an upgrade there is also viable though I'm not a Jones hater. Thing is, the staff have a VG understanding of the injury and where to expect him to be. They are also used to players going down and returning so may view this completely differently. That said, it's a nice place to upgrade as you can't have too good a LT and Jones will need real $ after this year.

You can probably get 1/4" variance in arm length depending on if you just woke up or just finished doing the bench press. What I don't get is how with all the time and money spent doing this that they can't reliably identify the shoulder pivot point to make these more uniform.
Warren reeks of Poles, but not the HC that was speaking highly of him?
