And the final day of the NFL draft is here for the real junkies …
• Two big names who at points over the past year were mocked in the first round that are still available: Ohio State OT Dawand Jones and Georgia CB Kelee Ringo. Both are still there for character reasons, and there’s boom or bust potential with each.
On the former, Jones’s handling of the pre-draft process has done a sizable amount of damage. The peak for him came at the Senior Bowl—when he checked in at 6’8”, 375 pounds and with a record 89.5” wingspan. On the first day of practices, the mountain of a right tackle blew up on social media. He then claimed an injury and shut it down the rest of the week. At his pro day, he declined to weigh in and wasn’t around much to support his teammates, which raised questions on the weight he’d gained, and how seriously he was taking the de facto interview.
