Velus Jones Jr

[Visionman]

I know nothing about him aside from him being a 25 year old rookie. He's basically a one contract pick. Bears likely won't be good for 2 years so by the time they're competent, he'd be 27. On the bright side, getting a WR in his prime years on a rookie contract.

Everyone complaining Fields needed a WR that could contribute NOW to help him develop. They draft one, and people complain because he’s older and may not be here for a 2nd contract.

Just laughable…

Yes, drafting a 25 year old guy I never heard of will make me shut up

3/4s of the Board were pinning for an OT from a smaller school the same age at 39 and he's still on the board.

WR Velus Jones Jr.: NFL Draft scouting report and fantasy football profile

We break down Tennessee Velus Jones Jr. with a scouting report and fantasy football outlook heading into the 2022 NFL Draft.

dknation.draftkings.com

“Jones could step right in and make a difference as a return man. His limitations in the passing game mean that he probably won’t see the field much, but he could pull off a few big plays to help his team.”


Sweet—I always liked Jakeem Grant

Thank you sir, may I have another?

When you number 1 wr has been in the league two years longer but your rookie is one year older...

 

[ndgt10]

It's a 3rd round pick. A special teamer that sticks is worth it.

 

[redgrange19]

Draft is a crapshoot. He could end up being a flop or one of the best value guys in a few years. I’m only concerned he doesn’t catch the ball cleanly, but he’s dangerous with YAC. Looks like a baby Deebo.

VeJayJay was 2nd fastest player in pads at combine.

I think I saw this dude playing shuffleboard at The Pines.

Viva Las Velus!

Did anyone else catch poles throwing his hand up at the board after this pick as to say “man he was right there”. Zero ability to trade apparently. All he cares about is his weird live in assistant and his old spice coach.

 

[Montucky]

Literally just one month younger than our first round pick in 2018.

But nah seems like a really good pick. If he was two years younger he probably goes in the early second.

 

[EDPeezy]

It seems like they’re saying at worst we’ve got a good returner with a chance to develop as a wr. I don’t think they took him expecting a legit wr. I’m not sure that even exists at this point with the position. As much of a special teams pick as an offensive pick. Maybe even more.

Sign Jarvis Landry

 

[fenderpfunk]

You combine this guy with Justin Fields' bubble screen accuracy and we might really have ourselves some offensive fireworks.

 

[msadows]

Justin is one of the best QB's throwing downfield in the nfl....

So they draft a guy who's great at screens?

I guess we are turning into the fucking packers.

That's more of a testament of Josh Huepels offense. Fast paced, spread you out, and put you playmaker out in space and isolated 1-on-1.

Is he fast? Sure, but he has to develop himself as a route runner to even get the ball at the next level.
