really, this is bad team building by the front office. "Sure lets replace our trusted slot player for years with an old 4th round guy who always played the outside in college"

When did I say a 4th rounder is supposed to be a stud?

Could we not say the same about the expectations some are having with putting a 6th rounder from the same draft class out there in the slot and wondering why he isn't performing overly well?

Also, Iosivas had (practically?) no slot experience prior to this year, but people seemed ok giving him a shot there.

If the reality is neither Jones nor Iosivas nor Burton can play the slot, maybe put Chase more in the slot and try these dudes outside more?

Saying Jones has the skill set, speed, and agility for the slot though isn't a reach.
