MockDraft 101′s Opinion:
- I like Chandler Jones and think he can be a very good player, but probably would of been better served if he stayed in school. He has the natural ability to be a solid 4-3 DE, but he also has the talent to standup in the 3-4. He might need some patience, but with time could become a solid player in this league
