[Whatever]

Jones is a great developmental prospect and a great scheme fit with his ability to pull, but between his technique issues and the massive jump in competition, he's strictly a draft and develop guy, not a plug and play T imo.  He also probably needs a year in an NFL weight room.  Still, you can't pass on his upside in 3.  It's a strong T class and guys will rise and slide based on scheme fit and ability to quickly contribute.  Last year, a lot of people were saying Jawaan Taylor was the best T in the class and talking about him in the Top 10 and he fell out of 1 entirely.

Ruiz is the best IOL prospect in a thin class, can start immediately, and he's a perfect scheme fit.  Plus, I worry more about Jordan/Price at LG than Hart/Johnson at RT.  There are not many IOL in this class with the ability to pull and if you pass on Ruiz you may wind up having to punt on the position entirely.  

It's not popular, but I see Queen strictly as a Day 3 prospect.  Even if I believed in him, I wouldn't pass on a stud OL or #1 WR for a LB after we threw so much money at the D in FA.
