Pos: OT

School: Georgia

Ht. 6’5″ 

Wt. 310

Games Watched: Ohio State, South Carolina, Alabama

One Liner: Athletic offensive tackle who wins with strength, movement ability and lateral agility. 

Strengths: 

  • Very good athleticism. Jones is a fluid mover in space and has lateral mobility that allows him to succeed in diagonal passing sets. 
  • Very good strength. Jones displays strong arms and heavy hands when he punches opposing edge rushers and is able to move them well off their track with his aggressiveness.
  • Good football IQ. Jones has a solid understanding of where to be and picks up stunts and twists well from opposing defenses. 

Weaknesses:

  • Marginal technique. Jones really wins with traits right now, and he needs to clean up a lot of his technique before he can become a successful offensive tackle at the next level, including hand placement, timing, and second level positioning. 
  • Adequate frame. Jones looks like he could add more weight and bulk to his frame in order to maintain positioning against power and speed-power rushers. 

Overall Assessment: Broderick Jones is a highly projectable offensive tackle at the next level due to his athletic traits and strength. Jones has tons of potential to be a long term starting tackle at the next level, but will need refinement from whichever team he goes to, as he is far from a finished product in terms of technique and build. 

Scheme Fit: Man/Zone blocking scheme as a moving tackle in space. 

Pick Projection: Mid 1st
