For those that are interested in his measurements (he didn't run any drills):
height - 6'8"
weight - 374 lb
arm length - 36.375"
No one is getting through him.
There is one option, and that's get around him with speed/moves.
Due to his size and slower feet, he can be beat.
Potential comp - last year's Daniel Faalele, OT Minnesota
Faalele was also 6'8", 384 lbs. Jones has an extra inch on him for arm length.
Much like Jones, Faalele had concerns with his footspeed and agility to stay on faster pass rushers.
In just 101 pass blocking snaps with the Ravens this year, Faalele allowed 10 total pressures including 4 sacks.
Jones is further along and reportedly more athletic than Faalele, but you can only do so much being that big.
I personally would rather go with someone else, but I can understand the appeal of a mountain that purely bullies defenders in the run game.
Don't get mad though if he allows a decent amount of pressures in the pass game.
Teams would (or should) scheme someone out wide from him so he has to try to move a good amount to block them.
