Draft Note by John Paulsen
Jones is set to make $13.5 million fully guaranteed, and Anthony Richardson is still experiencing pain in his surgically-repaired throwing shoulder. Over the past two seasons, Jones has started 16 games, compiling 2,979 yards, 10 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, while gaining 471 yards and three scores as a runner. His 5.95 yards per attempt in that span is dreadful. On the bright side, Jones has had a couple of competent seasons. He threw 24 touchdowns versus 12 picks as a rookie, and had a 15:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio back in 2022 when he went 9-6-1 as the Giants' starter. Given Richardson’s status, and Jones’s ability to run the ball, he’s an intriguing value pick as the QB35 in early drafts. Any sort of recovery in his passing numbers would vault him into the QB2 conversation.
