Chris Jones, DT, Bowling Green - At 6’2/302, Jones has NT written all over him for the Texans. This is a great value pick for the Texans and shows a great understanding by Rick Smith of how to approach the NT position in this draft. Jones had 12.5 sacks in 2012 thanks to his quickness of the snap and great usage of hands. Jones’ arm over move fits in nicely with what Wade Phillips wants to see from his 1-gap NTs. Jones shows a similar motor to Earl Mitchell.

6th Round - Bowling Green State defensive tackle Chris Jones
Grade - Trying a new food that you are skeptical about and slowly liking it.

In 2011, I made a trip to my first Minnesota State Fair. It's a great event, but they have some bizarre foods, as is the custom of state fairs. There was this alligator stand and, being a few beers in, I decided, "What the hell?" I purchased the gator and sat down to eat. I was still skeptical about it at first but, as I slowly chewed the first bite, I came around. That's how I feel about Mr. Jones.

Relentless, productive, 2012 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, and high-energy. The on-field production combined with a high-motor makes this a Wade Phillips pick and, by his Houston track record, Wade Phillips doesn't miss on his evaluations. He knows what he wants in the front seven and Jones is it. Like eating that gator, I've come around that maybe the 330-pound nose tackle was not the way to go and Jones is.
