az jam said:Matt Jones may be good but is a project. Plus he is projecting out to be a WR not a TE. No way will Denny take him in the second round. The guy he will take if there is Alex Smith, TE Stanford. Denny loves the Stanford players (he was head coach there!). It would really open up our passing attack with Fitz, Boldin and Alex Smith.
Matt Jones may or may not turn out to be good but going in he has the tools no one else has or has possessed in many years. No other TE in the draft comes anywhere near him in speed and running ability. Given the choice of Jones and any other TE available I take Jones as his upside is out of sight. I do agree he will not become a Cardinal. I think 2 years from now we will look back and wonder how we missed out on this guy. Some coach with good foresight is going to draft him and he will start next year. WR or TE. Unfortunately we do not need a WR and that is the position he has been preparing for. Next year we may need a WR the way the Boldin contract is proceeding.
