Draft

[reeder]

OK, today is the second day of the draft and not one word in any of the Albany area online papers about Gary Jones. Even if he doesn't have a chance at being drafted, he will have an opportunity to sign a free agant contract next week.

 

Would expect a local paper to talk about his achievements on the field and talk about what he wants to do next - football or whatever. This would be a fitting way to say goodbye to Jones rather or not he has the chance to play at the next level

im posting this with about 20 picks left in the draft. The kid from Ottawa Kansas was taken by the Jets, and he was ranked as either as the #1 or #2 small school guy in the draft at the RB position. IF Jones is not drafted here at the end, then i say he is gonna get a un-drafted FA deal.

But the kid from Ottawa Kansas was formerly a big-time college player (or a player at a big-time college, either way) who dropped down a level.

 

I'm not saying Gary won't get a FA shot at a camp slot ... but that is the main reason the Ottawa player was chosen.

well Gary was not drafted. Gonna have to take a look at the transaction lines for the next few days to see what happens.
