Well, Okoye is a nice pick. I know beans about Jacoby Jones, though. Your thoughts on this draft?

Ditto...I was about to ask you about Jones...never heard of the kid?...I think since they got Ryan and Williams last year, Okoye is going in the right direction.

Here's the word on Jones from John Murphy at Yahoo! Sports: "John Murphy's take: A small-school speedster that will make an instant impact on either vertical routes or as a kickoff return man during his rookie campaign. Jones impressed at the East-West Shrine Game thanks to his size, speed and ability to make tough catches seem easy. Jones eats up yardage after the catch, but his routes still need some work and he will body catch at times. It may take a little time to adjust to the NFL game, but he has the makeup to become a playmaker at the next level."

Sounds like a legit pick for a 3rd rounder...
