The way its looking he will be gone anyway. Guys his size that can rush the QB like he can usually go fast. Dallas is switching to a 4-3 and could grab him. I could also see Indy as a spot.

He's a lot closer to being a 3-4 DE than Justin Smith was coming out of college. Yes, he's somewhat underweight and he'd be asked to do some different things, but he's got entire skillset and all the tools necessary to succeed.

I disagree, I still see him winding up in the early-mid 2nd round. People at this point last year were predicting Kendall Reyes to go as high as 20th in the 1st, instead he dropped off into about the mid 2nd. Because of all the other defensive line prospects, as well as the depth at offensive tackle which is something a lot of teams need, along with increased focus on improved secondaries...etc, I think the 49ers will have their shot at Jones if they want him, just by staying put.

Still have a problem with a NT at the top of our draft. Would rather see a 5 technique DE like, Dotone Jones or try and move up and get Sheldon Richardson. I know Williams has experience at DE, but is not agile enough in my opinion to develop into a good pass rusher. Our ability to be effective against the run with our nickel should allow us to get a run stuffer, like Kawame Geathers, further down the draft. Besides, most teams want to run 3 receiver formations at us so we go into the nickle.
