Kelley Jones NFL Mock Drafts
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Kelley Jones has appeared:
For the Win — Christian D'Andrea
No. 11 overall — Carolina Panthers
The 6-foot-4 Jones had 11 pass breakups and a pair of interceptions last season. He's got the size/speed combination NFL defenses covet.
No. 18 overall — Cincinnati Bengals
An angular corner at 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, Jones understands how to maximize his length to shield throwing windows. He's a zone-based defender who is at his best playing on a vertical plane, with sufficient hips to close on underneath attempts. He's a bit feast and famine -- even though he allowed an FBS-low seven receptions last season, five went for 20 or more yards and two went for touchdowns. He'll have to work on that, but he could be a good fit for a Bengals defense with starting cornerbacks (Dax Hill and DJ Turner II) who are scheduled to be free agents.
No. 18 overall — Chicago Bears
Listed at 6-4, Jones has rare speed and ability for a player his size, which will draw obvious attention from NFL teams.
No. 25 overall — Detroit Lions
Listed at 6-foot-4, Jones is a tantalizing prospect. He is a long, lean, disciplined perimeter cornerback who allowed just 11 receptions on 375 coverage snaps last season. Jones is a pass-breakup machine with strong instincts at the catch point.
