player. 28. How often is a 6’6″ 310-pound former five-star SEC recruit considered under the radar? Well, America, meet Chris Jones. Call it a hunch, but I think opposing o-lineman will know him quite well before long. Oakland is one of the hottest young teams in the league. They added pass-rush demon Bruce Irvin to compliment budding superstar Khalil Mack and are building a truly fearsome defense. What they need now, is a line that can keep opposing blockers from getting to them. Jones size and athleticism will allow him to do just that as well as getting after the passer a bit himself. His motor runs hot and cold, but this has the chance to be a home run pick.. DT. Mississippi State. Chris Jones . 14
