3.04 Indianapolis Hoosier Daddy's — WR Marvin Jones

In the real world: I'll admit it. Jones was totally off my radar until last month, when Matt Waldman published two articles featuring him and Stephen Hill of Georgia Tech. Here's one article, and here's the other. It seems like the 6'3", 202-lb. Jones was used as the #2 at Cal, with the up-and-coming Keenan Allen as the #1, but he might be more than a possession receiver. In fact, he probably has more upside than his fellow Bengals rookie, Mohamed Sanu. Rumor has it that the Bengals may also add Braylon Edwards to compete with Jones and Sanu for the #2 receiver spot, but Edwards is still recovering from a knee injury suffered early last season.
In the TUFF world: This round is the time and place to weed out the real receivers from the undersized kick returners. Jones is definitely not the latter. I definitely like this pick and was hoping he'd fall to 3.06.  Looking at both footballguys.com's rookie rankings and MFL's average draft position results for 16-team keeper leagues, Indy's getting a good value, regardless of whether the Bengals sign Edwards.
