Byron Jones NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Cowboys' Rookie

STRENGTHS

Byron Jones turned heads with his combine performance, but he was already making a name for himself as a top-50 pick before Indianapolis. Jones did dominate at the combine, though, posting top times in every agility and jumping test. On film, you see that same explosiveness on a very big frame. Jones has the quickness to play in off coverage, but the pop and recovery speed to line up in press coverage. He's instinctive, smart, and physical underneath. Jones set a combine record with his 147-inch broad jump.

WEAKNESSES

Jones isn't a speed demon at cornerback, and with his bigger, filled-out frame he'll struggle to turn and run with top-tier speed.
