Jones is a big kid and athletically talented, but the skinny on him is he doesn't have enough 'dog' in him.

Jones (at 90) is the highest the Vikings have taken a DE in the draft since Danielle Hunter (88). 

Jones was considered by many to be a 1st rounder early in the draft season. A bad Senior Bowl practice week and an injury at his pro day tanked his value. HERE'S a mock from the fall with Jones going to the Dolphins at 14 overall. Good value in the late 3rd.

Twyman and Davis were also projected to go in first round in that mock.  No Darrisaw.

Ha, yeah, didn't see that. Vikings have drafted a lot of players recently who were projected to be 1st rounders early on in the process, but fell due to injuries or metrics. Not saying that's good or bad, but it is interesting. Jones, Davis, Twyman, Cleveland, Dantzler.

Janarius Robinson is the guy that Ben Leber thinks is going to be a stud for Minnesota.
