He was drafted as a backup outside corner in the 3rd round. He is also one of the best returners in the NFL.

Jones (and Jones) need to continue to develop as outside corners.

 

[WTF!]

I'm not sure about that. Maybe you are thinking of Jack Jones? Most of the draft writeups had him as a slot CB and PR.

I think it would be a colossal mistake to put a 5'8" 175 cornerback / punt returner who has had multiple shoulder surgeries on offense on a regular basis. If he gets injured playing a position he's not familiar with (WR) then were looking at replacing our potentially starting slot CB and PR. Were not talking about a 6'4" 260 lbs Mike Vrabel here.

I don't mean this in a negative fashion but I hope he struggles with the route tree if they put him at WR. We need him at CB and PR.

Well if he ends up being a slot CB then he could excel there.. Jack Jones is the guy at outside corner...I feel will continue to thrive and get better and better..
