NFL Draft 2017: Can NC State safety Josh Jones sneak into the first round?

Josh Jones is coming off a career season at NC State and he also had an excellent showing at the NFL Combine, which seems to have solidified his status as a second- or third-round pick at worst. Since the Combine ended, Jones has met with multiple teams, including the Jets, Dolphins, and Texans.

The draft guru-ish wonkniks, otherwise known as the Mel Kiper, Junior Juniors, generally have Jones going in the middle of the second round. WalterFootball.com has Jones going 50th overall to Tampa Bay; ESPN’s Todd McShay has him at No. 57 to the Texans; and Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller has him landing with Cleveland at No.
