The Miami Dolphins pick safety Reshad Jones in the 5th round
The Dolphins select safety Reshad Jones with the 163rd overall pick (5th round) of the NFL Draft. Jones is a big guy at 6′1″, 215 pounds and he runs a 4.6 40. Jones is a big time hitter but he sometimes misses tackles as he goes for the kill shot. He is also a big of a gambler in pass coverage but he makes more than his fair share of outstanding plays. Jones played in 13 games (all starts) at Georgia last season and he had 73 tackles, he broke up 7 passes, he had 4 interceptions and he forced 1 fumble. Jones played in 39 games (27 starts) in his three years at Georgia in which he made 206 tackles, broke up 13 passes, he had 1 interceptions (174 return yards), he forced 1 fumble and he recovered 1 fumble. Jones projects to play strong safety in the pros where his physical style will play well. I really like this pick for the Dolphins as Jones should not have been available to them in the 5th round.
