I refuse to believe we made this move for Jones with the other guys in this class. If it happens, I'll support the move and hope Jones proves to be a stud.
Until his name is actually called or Kyle/John come out and say he's the guy I'm calling BS.
Was there anyone who had us linked to Aiyuk or Kinlaw last year? Hell even when we were at 2 there was more buzz about us going with Quinnen than Bosa.
I remember beating that drum too saying it made too much sense to draft Bosa and people kept showing others talking about our love for QW.
I think this is more of the same. Kyle is still super paranoid and wants nothing coming out without a reason. Now we know he has his own rankings - Foster could've easily been the #3 overall pick in 2017 if Bears took Thomas and Aiyuk could've easily been the pick at 13 if Kinlaw was drafted ahead of us.
Could he have Jones graded THAT highly? I guess it's possible but I just can't see the rest of the room agreeing with that type of move to get him. This isn't throw a late pick into a trade up into the bottom 3 to get Beathard. This is SERIOUS draft capital you're investing on a player.
And while you don't let fans drive your moves...it does matter. York has gotten a lot of good will lately with how things have been running even with the bad seasons but a move like this can really turn the fans.
We'll see what happens but I just really have a hard time seeing it if we're looking to move on from Jimmy.
