Pick
37

From Los Angeles Rams
Grade B+
Zay Jones
WR | East Carolina

Buffalo traded down in Round 1, then goes up in Round 2—picks 44 and 91 to the Rams for 37 and 149. The Bills did so because they needed a wide receiver and missed out on the top three guys Thursday night. Jones should be their No. 2 guy opposite Sammy Watkins right away.

 

Scouting report: Jones is the NCAA’s all-time receptions leader with 399, and he has the single-season record (158), as well. He has football in his blood: His father Robert won a Super Bowl as a linebacker with the Cowboys, and his uncle also played in the NFL. He has excellent hands, good arm length and very good footwork and balance. Many of his receptions came from quick screens in ECU’s wide-open offense, and he lacks elite speed, so how he uses his 6' 2" frame on deep balls may determine his NFL success.

Most amazing thing about this player is he is taller and faster than people thought. Normally its the other way around. Im not sure what to make of that. Does he play small and slow?

Casserly says he plays slower than his timed speed. Great hands, great body control, good size, very good route runner, great attitude. Zay Jones will be just fine.

You guys not liking giving up the extra 3rd...why do you think we got that pick in the first place? So we could guarantee getting the guy we wanted.

OMG I thought moving over here from the other boards would mean less whining.

DC Tom is not being serious, someone should activate the DC Tom Bot and add "You're an idiot" to his post.

LOL I knew Browns were going QB.

Someone from Notre Dame should have been smart enough to figure out how not be drafted by Browns even if he had to mention his uncle was in law enforcement and investigated the owner and his brother.
