Donovan Peoples Jones

[ncfan]

We've signed quite a few WRs in FA and the Defense is in shambles, also the OL isnt great either.

 

That being said.  I love the pairing of DPJ with Joe Brady, and many have DPJ mocked in the early 3rd.

 

Jones was super hyped coming out of HS but never produced, and thats whats dinged him.

Joe Brady's offense is similar to new Orleans where he used to be an assistant coach.  That offense has a key weapon that keeps it going.  

Michael Thomas.   

No I'm not saying Jones is the next Thomas but both are similar big explosive WRs.  Where Jones can fit that role in Carolina. 

 

Thomas fell to the middle of the 2nd for the same reasons you see Jones mocked in the 3rd.  Thomas had all that talent but never surpassed 800 yards in a season at Ohio State.  Why?  Bad QB play.  See the same reason why Jones is getting knocked down.  And in a loaded WR crop, pushed Further.

 

Back to his explosiveness and his size comparison to Thomas.

 

Michael Thomas

6'3 212  32 1/8 arms,  10 1/2 hands

4.56 40, 35 vert, 126 broad

 

DPJ

6'2 212  33 1/2 arms,  10 1/8 hands

4.48 40, 44.5 vert, 139 broad.

 

DPJ is a glue for that Thomas role in Brady's O, allowing us to move Moore around in the slot.

That vertical is insane. I mean, that's getting into Vince Carter territory.

I wish I liked him more

I’ve been hoping we get him too. I’m a Big Blue fan and hated that QB play hindered his talents. He’s honestly a sleeping giant and I hope we are the team that can wake his potential.

Ummm... I have some news for you. It isn't great.

P-J or Pittman both look like interesting options for round 3.

I would be happy with him. Having to play with Shea Patterson really screwed him over this past season.

That's the first thing I noticed! These dudes are literally flying around the field now.
