With the 115th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Steelers select Oklahoma QB Landry Jones. Highly regarded and hyped up by the media, Landry has been viewed as a definite first round grade since he took over for Sam Bradford. However, the reality is that Jones is a streak passer whose accuracy can be great for stretches and then poor for a while. He must quicken his throwing motion and avoiding throwing the ball up for grabs off his back foot when under pressure to avoid the inteceptions he threw too many of in the games evaluated. Overall, I am not a huge fan of Landry Jones' potential to be a quality NFL starter, but he charted out be a high second round pick. If he can improve his reading of the defense and become a more consistently accurate passer then he was what it takes to be a quality NFL starter. Source: Sports Illustrated
I like the pick. Not really a huge need in the 4th round, but Jones has a high ceiling. It's also refreshing to root for a young quarterback on the roster in the pre-season and possibly a solid backup for many years to come.
