Wyatt I get; his athleticism projects in a way that he might well be a better pro than he was a college player.
hell, I get Winfrey.
I DO NOT get Jones, and I would NOT take Jones over taking a big swing on a kid like Watson. If THAT is what you want to spend a first on, I think you're bonkers.

Among DTs he's in the 88th percentile in the 40, 77ths in the broad, 80th in the 3-cone.
You want to cite Christian Watson's athleticism at the combine then ignore the fact that Jones out-tests Leonard Williams literally across the board? Bigger, stronger, faster, quicker, more fluid.
I mean the board will dictate a lot of things. But even in an absolute worst case scenario circumstance, I wouldn't be taking Watson. He's nowhere close to my top 30 prospects. As I said previously he's maybe around my top 50 and even that is pushing it.
Jones is at that threshold level. It's close.
