And those kodiac paws of his, man oh man...that's got to be unsettling for a defender. Just the crazy raw power in those hands. 

He's still got things that need to be coached up and refined, but the talent ard potential are there to make him a stud RT.

Dawand Jones is so big and long that you can't go through him and can't get around him. Really only way to beat him will be to string moves and guys that can do that will abuse his below average reactive athleticism. He is not Faalele though Jones' balance is so much better through contact which is a huge issue for very tall tackles even athletic ones like Freeland. In the run game he is never going to be a guy that pulls around the formation or very good at blocking screens in space. His big question will be how well he can down block in zone because even if the entire league goes man heavy he will still play some zone stuff.
