Well, I'll start picking it apart.
My biggest issue would be you're replacing a backup#1 and a guy with a lot more speed with a Tight End. If nothing else, Jones takes some of the heat off AJ and Eifert because you can't just put a LB on him or let a safety play soft on him. You have to put a corner or have a safety playing him man. With a TE in that spot, you can play off a little because of his speed and the range of his routes. Plus, if AJ goes down, that leaves you with Sanu/Eifert/Davis.
If that was the direction, I'd rather just go with Rex.
