Dawand Jones Draft Profile
Strengths
We have to begin with the size of Dawand Jones. At 6-8, 374 pounds, Jones is an absolute load. He uses his strength to make the first contact with defenders, and he has the strength to move them. For his size, Jones does move pretty well. He keeps his feet moving through contact.
Weaknesses
While Jones is built like a mountain and moves well for his size, he is still not very athletic. Jones has heavy feet and he has the tendency to grab when he is out of position. His hand technique is not great, which means he doesn’t fully take advantage of his length, which is his biggest strength. Teams will need to give him help on passing snaps that need longer to develop.
