I'm fine with the addition. I agree that we were thin at the cutdown. Maybe he'll beat out Vellano for backup rep, more likely not.
But, you exaggerate. It is not clear that Jones solves much other than being yet another young prospect, a good thing.
Belcihcik started Forston on the Practice Squad. Had he been started on the 53, there still would be the lack of a veteran backup. But the situation would be pretty much as it is now.
So, if it was "way thin" with Vellano and Forston, it is not much better with Vellano and Jones.
I do not disagree with you.
This kid is a bit more interesting to me than the others. He dominated his league from the NT position and got down to last 53 in camp which means he competed with veterans for a spot.

Nice plays against Virginia Tech and Florida - he could play with the big boys.
