Was this a botched pick? He hasn't even been active I don't think. He has been hurt the whole damn time it seems. I know that they knew he was coming off injury....but someone with more knowledge of the situation, please fill me in on this.

I think this pick (B Jones) was for 2014 from the get go.

He's recovering from a foot injury... and he's getting weight room work.

No worries, yet!

That's how I see it. He is Wells replacement in a year or so.

Yeah its good to have him learn from a solid center in Wells and work on his strength in the weight room.

I agree, Jones is a future investment. I'd look for him to get some playing time later in the season, maybe the second half of schedule.

It takes some OL to develop longer than others. That, and Jones was still recovering from an injury in camp. I think he'll be just fine in the long run.

He's a genius. Can a pro weight program be that much better than Bama's?

Was he just spending too much time graduating with a master's degree early to be in the weight room enough?
