No, no...Pioli is a up man. Two straight drafts in a row he's moved up for offensive players.
I can see this thing happening.
I'm sure Haley is envisioning a Boldin/Fitz type of duo with Bowe and Jones. And with Jones' willingness to block downfield on runs, we'd have three stellar second level lead blockers in Bowe, Moeaki and Jones.
It's going to cost us a couple of picks, but Jones is one of those rare talents that necessitates a roll of the dice to acquire.
Depending on where Green goes, I think that the Chiefs will have to move up into the Browns spot to acquire Jones. That's going to cost at least a 2nd and a 3/4 as well as a first next year or a potential player trade.
However, if he's "the guy," I don't see a problem with that. It's not like we have a ton of talent at the position outside of Bowe.
