Chris Jones has it all … until he doesn’t.
Good Chris Jones is a top 15 player. Bad Chris Jones is a third-rounder. NFL teams will bet on the higher upside.

Jones, who only started his final year at Mississippi State, flashes elite, top-tier talent all the time. He looks like the type of guy you can build your defensive front around for a decade. And then, a play later, he looks lost.
He hasn’t yet put it all together, and the question is: Will he?
If the Broncos find themselves thinking yes, then grabbing him at the backend of the second round could become the steal of the draft.
