Sirius Radio Comment

[jpdex12]

I heard on Sirius Radio about 30 minutes ago, one of the radio hosts was talking about Matt Jones and he said,

"you know what team is really into Matt Jones because of the style of offense that their head coach used to thrive from as an offensive coordinator? Mike Mularkey is that coach from the Buffalo Bills. He was talking to me a few days ago about how interested he was in picking Matt Jones not just because of his size and speed, but because of his slash type abilities".

I thought that this was very interesting! I heard TD in an interview a few days ago on Sirius and he praised Matt Jones, but I wasn't sure if it was a smoke screen or not. This may confirm my thoughts as to us grabbing Jones if he is still on the board and getting an O-lineman in the third. If I had to guess, that is what could happen.

Any thoughts men?

We're taking Matt Jones in the 2nd!

Honestly, odds are he may not be there for us by our pick. I could see TD trading a pick in 2006 for an earlier 2005 pick to get Jones, IF he really wanted him that badly.

[Wolffman]

Can someone enlighten me: Who's Matt Jones?

[Sportsuser101]

Yeah lets trade up with our 1st pick for a project player. :crazy:

I could maybe understand if we had a 1st round pick but not for our 1st pick.

Big, big WR out of Arkansas some see as a TE in NFL

Strengths: Is an amazing natural athlete...Has very good size and knows how to use it...Speed is extremely deceptive...Has a lot of potential and showed he has the ability to make the move to wideout in Mobile at the Senior Bowl...Very tough...Appeared to have good hands...Fiery player with a great competitive spirit...Team leader.

Weaknesses: Very raw and has never played a position other than quarterback...Will need a lot of work and development...May be too laid back and lackadaisical for some people...Is he truly dedicated to the game of football or was basketball his true love?...A project who will be a gamble for whoever selects him.

Notes: Was also a top high school basketball player and saw some time on the court with the Razorbacks...Could also project to quarterback or tight end in the pros...Interesting prospect

[Yasgur's Farm]

Can someone enlighten me: Who's Matt Jones? 6'-5", 239 pounds, 4.37 in the 40. Played QB for Arkansas (Same as Jason Peters). Projected as a TE or WR in the NFL.

:shout:AKA "The Real Freak".

I could maybe understand if we had a 1st round pick but not for our 1st pick.i was thinkin' like, give our 2nd round pick and a much later pick for an earlier pick for him.. like i said... if they REALLY want him

edit: Actually, i take that back. I didn't really realize that he's going to be such a project. I also thought he was going to go a lot earlier than he probably will.

[Wolffman]

He played QB in college and is a project for the pros? That reminds me of Randle El. I'd say he worked out.

Anyway, the Bills are in desperate need of a fast, strong, athletic TE... this could be the guy. But I am worried about his blocking abilities, he did play QB.

So supposedly, the big plan with TD is to trade for Shelton. This would solidify our line with starters. We will obviously use the draft to acquire depth for the o-line, but there is a good chance as TD always does.....grab the best player available! Haven't you realized the type of draft guy that TD is? Best player available.
I was stating in my original post what I heard on Sirius Radio. We have heard TD speak highly of Jones as well. There are also numerous analysts that say that they won't find it hard to believe it if Jones goes in the late 1st or early second. Project or not, teams are very impressed with this guy and he will go early. Scouts.com has this guy ranked 34th overall in this draft! I'd take a project like that in the 2nd and I bet there are NFL teams that think likewise.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Imagine him as an H-back. Misdirection plays, motions, you name it, especially if he can chuck it downfield. I was interested in Chaz Williams in the 6th or 7th round as this type of player, but he doesn't come close to Jones in athletic ability. Williams is a college QB projected as a pro RB, but no one knows much about his pass catching skills. Interesting stuff.

[HurryUpTom]

He played QB in college and is a project for the pros? That reminds me of Randle El. I'd say he worked out.

Anyway, the Bills are in desperate need of a fast, strong, athletic TE... this could be the guy. But I am worried about his blocking abilities, he did play QB.
I'm rather certain he has been adamant about not playing TE ... and I don't blame him. He'll have to put on a fair bit of weight to play TE and would probably lose his speed. Right now as a WR, he's physically a matchup problem from hell for the defense ... no need to mess with that.

[G. Host]

More on him:

Jones, the former Arkansas quarterback ran the fastest time ever for a quarterback at the combine, unofficially clocked at 4.41 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He worked out Sunday with the quarterbacks, but will probably end up going to the NFL as a wide receiver. Jones switched to receiver for the first time in the Senior Bowl. He caught a touchdown catch in last month's game, in a losing effort for the South all-stars. NFL Personnel are excited about Jones’ prospects as a converted QB. John Gruden, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach said at the Senior Bowl, "I don't remember a guy in my lifetime that's doing what he's doing," and "Here's a guy who starts in the SEC on a good team, goes to bowl games, and he comes in here and doesn't even take a snap at the position he played. I'm really fired up about him. I'm really impressed”.

From Great Blue North Draft Report
http://www.gbnreport.com/guestfile.html
It talks about 'non-traditional' QBs include mention of former Bill Doug Flutie.

True. Maybe he could line up as a TE on obvious passing downs? That would be much less obvious to the defense than him splitting out.

that is correct.. he needs to be a wr.. he is not a TE.. and he was clear about the fact that he does not want to put on more weight, because he knows it will slow him down.

he is 6' 6 1/4" tall.. he is 242 lbs.. and he ran a 4.37 and a 4.39 in two consecutive runs at the combine.. why would you want to mess with that at all? you dont try to change a guy like that.. you just figure out if he is a right fit for you and if he is, the way he is.. take him if he is there.

[Crisis]

Probably why we want to swap 2nds with 'Zona.

[Tatonka]

Faster than Vick? :shocked:

He's faster than I thought.

he is faster but is not as elusive (neither is almost every other player in the nfl)... but matt jones did have a better yards per carry than vick did in college and he also had more rushing yards as well.

[SoCalBillsFan]

I'd love to see us get this guy if the shelton deal goes through. Yeah, he's a project, but at our pick in the second round who isn't? Here's a guy with a TON of upside...6'6'' and a 4.4?!? He adapted well in the senior bowl at WR. I think he can do it.

[nolimit]

Kiper says he is one of the msot over rated player sin this draft and believes he is only worth a shot in round 3 or later.I could see at team like thePatriots taking him with their first. I shutter at that thought because i would like him here.

Hey Tonk, how about ridding me of this drew bledsoe truce crap.

[Jan Reimers]

Jones would be an intriguing 2nd round pick IF we have a left tackle at that point. If not, picking him ahead of a LT would be like eating your dessert before your meat and potatoes - fun, but ultimately unhealthy.

Yes but Bills got rid of (promoted until he wanted to leave) Rusty Jones who wrote the book on spors nutrition so maybe they are up for a fab diet?

[jamze132]

Can someone enlighten me: Who's Matt Jones?
WTF? HE'S ONLY THE 2ND COMING OF CHRIST! :shocked:

[jpdex12]

Faster than Vick? :shocked:

He's faster than I thought.
Yeah, at 6'5" and a white boy, this is freakish! If Mike Williams posted this forty time, he would be a #1 pick. People like this don't come around very often. The only knock he has is that he doesn't have a lot of experience at a particular position. He was impressive in the senior bowl playing a position that he was not a regular at in college and that is why scouts are looking at him so much. You can't teach size and instinct, which he has loads of!

I don't know why he has not been in the spot light earlier in the year, but look at some of these guys that live under low profile in the arena football leagues and such that go unnoticed until they are all of a sudden front page on SI. Wierd but it is not too uncommon.

[justasportsfan]

Our Wr coach, Tyle Tolbert is the one who made a probowler out of Anquan Boldin. Anyone here think he could be part of the reason why Evans did so well in his rookie year?

I still think we need our future Center as being a major need.However, Moulds could be gone next year and both Euhus (has yet to get better) and Campbell are not bad TE's. Add to the fact that Reed could possibly be gone this year. If Matt Jones is a project that could blossom into a no.2 behind evans if that is what Tolbert thinks, I say we go for it as long as our OL is taken care of. It won't matter who our wr's are if we don't have a dominant OL.

At 6'6 +vertical leap , he could be one hell of a weapon in the redzone.Line him up against a small cb and throw the ball up in the air. There still is, Evans, McGahee, Euhus/Campbell and Moulds should they try to double team him.

I still think we need our future Center as being a major need.However, Moulds could be gone next year and both Euhus (has yet to get better) and Campbell are not bad TE's. Add to the fact that Reed could possibly be gone this year. If Matt Jones is a project that could blossom into a no.2 behind evans if that is what Tolbert thinks, I say we go for it as long as our OL is taken care of. It won't matter who our wr's are if we don't have a dominant OL.

At 6'6 +vertical leap , he could be one hell of a weapon in the redzone.Line him up against a small cb and throw the ball up in the air. There still is, Evans, McGahee, Euhus/Campbell and Moulds should they try to double team him.

Exactly. Plus, you can draft a decent center in the 3rd round. A talent like this wont come around again possibly ever for this Bills team, so you have to take the risk. The upside is much better than the downside to this kid. Could you imagine him, Moulds and Evans lined up together? The D will kill themselves trying to match up.

I think he would be the perfect slot WR/KR fast and strong and could be a backup QB. I think someone will give him a shot I'm just not sure he will last. I don't think he's durable enough to make it in the NFL.
