If by chance he slides to 52 would the Rams be willing to take him knowing he's an understudy to Whitworth for a year? Would fans be OK with their first selection/2nd round pick on the bench?...
I’d be a bit conflicted, tbh. Not about Jones’ talent level because I’m not qualified to do that, anyway.
But more about questioning positional priorities. I mean, do they think that Boom is our future LOT, or not? Is there a problem with his rehab that we don’t know about? We’ve been told that Boom should be ready for camp, so I see no reason not to assume that he will backup Whit early on and possibly gradually rotate with Whit if Whit needs the rest this season and probably start in ‘21.
I’d be fine if they pick a stud C, so it’s not like I’m anti-OL in this draft. I think that there’s better value/need than Jones at RB, Edge, or ILB, frankly. Don’t go to sleep on a WR or FS a bit later on, either.
