Minnesota selected a defensive end in the middle of the draft.
Everson Griffen & Danielle Hunter will be hard acts to follow but Jones may be able to get it done!
Even with all the free agent additions that the team has it was inevitable that they would go defense in some meaningful ways. But the fact that Jones is the first for that side of the ball adds a little more substance to his acquisition.
He won't be a starter but it's reasonable to think that he will be in the DE rotation before too many games have gone by. In which case he would qualify as another rookie-impact player.
Finding a way to one or two more tomorrow should be the goal but three of a five is a solid start!
