Draft Projection - First Round

NFL Impact -"Quintorris Lopez Jones" was a big time receiver back home in Alabama. He started three years for the Tide and currently holds the single season record for receptions and yards, and is second on Alabama's all time board for both categories. Julio has amazing bulk and size for his lightning fast speed, however you will rarely see him play as fast as he clocks (that's just the nature of the sport). He has great hands but has been known to drop easy balls on film due to lack of concentration. Would fit nicely in a west coast offense as a #1 or #2 WR in the NFL, as he is used to playing in a run-first offense in college, and as a result, is an exceptional blocker. Julio's upside highly outweighs any downside that he may have. He's strong, fast, talented, plays like a professional, and has a competitive spirit that makes him a great leader. The biggest issue that teams may have is his list of injuries. He's had surgery to repair a shoulder, wrist, hernia, hand, and foot after this year's combine. But don't forget, he ran a 4.39 40 on that broken foot...

Where do you think Julio Jones will end up? Is he worth the hype?

Didn't realize all the injuries he had surgically repaired here recently. Be kinda hesitant to sign him to anything long term. And would even put in a play for pay clause on the contract. Still like the guy and his talent tho.

He did perform at the combine before the surgery and put up great numbers. Seems like the injury was not that bad even though he did have surgery. Seems like a tough SOB that can play through pain. Don't really think of him as fragile because of this. Anyone know when this injury occurred? It was a broken foot or something like that if my memory serves.

Yeah he ran that 40-time on that broken foot. However the other injuries sustained during the season forced him to miss time. Note that they all weren't during the same season, though.
