Colin Jones Selected By San Francisco 49ers In Sixth Round Of 2011 NFL Draft

in NFL Draft
Email
PrintThe 49ers added another member to their secondary as they drafted TCU safety Colin Jones in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. I'll be honest, it's hard to find a lot on Jones. Even Scouts Inc doesn't have a detailed scouting report on him. They've got him in their rankings, but no specific details.
The good news is there is at least a picture! I'm not sure I get the pick, although safety conceivably is a need for the team whether it be concerns about Dashon Goldson walking or something along those lines. Third round pick Chris Culliver is likely coming in as a cornerback, so I'm curious to see how Jones is utilized. It's entirely possible the 49ers front office thinks highly of him in a special teams role. Of course, at this point I really am just spit-balling here because I really know next to nothing about this guy and am finding no scouting reports.
Video of post-game interview. Enjoy.

Lots of upside
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."-Bill shankly
From Tcu Page
2010: A second-team All-Mountain West Conference selection … started 12 of the 13 games he played … second on the team with a career-best 80 tackles and 11 ½ for loss … set a career-high with 10 tackles in his final game, the 21-19 Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin … had a sack for a 7-yard loss against the Badgers while adding two pass breakups … totaled three sacks on the season … recorded nine stops against UNLV while also returning an interception 30 yards for a touchdown … totaled eight solo tackles versus San Diego State, highlighted by a pair of sacks … tallied 3 ½ tackles for loss as part of seven stops at Colorado State … totaled seven tackles in three straight games (Baylor, SMU, Colorado State) … closed the regular season with his first career fumble recovery and four stops at New Mexico.

uh this is the 6 round
do you want to draft somebody who’s hit his ceiling, ceiling as a 6th rounder?
Just saying
Its been a trend with all the picks, no sure thing just upside

I'm ok with that
It’s a decent strategy to build for the future and trust your coaches. Same strategy as last year too
Been a trend since 2010
Mike Iupati is the guy that stands out from the all-upside group….and he’s been the best pick of the Baalke era.

We've kind of done the Anthony Davis pick two years in a row
Aldon Smith very similar in terms of a guy who’s so young that he’s barely scratched the surface yet, but sure looks like he has all the physical talent in the world. And they both like to hit people.

it’s not about age, I think it’s because they feel that since Bulaga was more refined that people assumed that it was what you see is what you get. Davis was more raw and has much better athleticism.

That was a mistake
He shouldn’t have made the team. Davis was one of the best Run Blocking OT in the NFL. Then looking at the sacks. Davis gave up .75 sacks per game and Bulaga .66

But Davis gave up QB killers. You never address that fact.
I found an actual stat about how many of Bulaga’s sacks were him getting bullrushed. Almost none of Bulaga’s sacks were guys getting a free release and crushing Rodgers.

Drop it dude
you’ve already expressed your dislike of Anthony Davis and your love of Brian Bulaga. Enough is enough.
It’s like you’re expecting abasolutely no improvement from Davis which is just plain silly.
Shocking
But I agree with itBurnz. Thus far, Bulaga has been the better player.
Think davis has the higher upside though
Harbaugh can turn any QB into a great one. He's a QB guru, even if he's only been a head coach at the college ranks.

It's much easier to look good as a guard
than as tackle your rookie year. The guard has help on both sides. The tackle doesn’t.
which is what people were probably saying about smith and rodgers which is what i said to start this in the first place.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i never said davis sucks. just that i hoped we didnt let the packers get the better player again.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.

Iupati still had questions with his technique
physical guy, raw power. clearly the best guard in that draft but still needed coaching.
All prospects have questions
But Iupati was a very high floor kind of guy.
Not like all the other picks Baalke is making.
Either way, Iupati has been our best selection since Patrick Willis. I’d like to more Iupati picks and less Anthony Davis picks in the future.

pretty fast for a white guy
03/15/2011 – TCU Pro day: QB Andy Dalton was the star of the show Friday at Texas Christian University’s pro day, but another player who was a hot topic of conversation after the workout in front of representatives from 26 teams was defensive back Colin Jones. Jones, who was second-team All-Mountain West last season, was very good in everything he did Friday, impressing with 4.34 and 4.38 times in the 40-yard dash, a 37-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-4 inch broad jump. I would describe Jones, who didn’t play much before his senior season only starting five games in 2009, as a late bloomer. He reminds me some of Cliff Harris, who went to six Pro Bowls after we signed him with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 1970. Jones really came out of the blue with his performance. He’s a very good special teams player, and after today, I could see him getting drafted, probably in the late rounds. Jones (5-11 , 201) ? He ran 4.34 and 4.38 in the 40, with a vertical of 37, a 10-4 broad jump, a 4.09 short shuttle and a 6.69 in the three-cone drill. Jones did 20 bench bench reps of 225 pounds. He was not at the combine. – Gil Brandt, NFL.com

I'd prefer to judge a draft
10 seconds after the picks have been made and 5 months before they hit the field.
just saying a healthy bit of perspective is not uncalled for here.
they werent guys on our radar which is what makes this fustrating, but the jury is obviously still out here.
Cain is Able ...
haha why should it be frustrating?
Our coaching staff came from College. Maybe they have a few more connections to evaluate college players?
I dunno.
totally agree
especially given that our first two picks are both guys who are going to take awhile to develop. This is a draft that could look bad in year 1, good in year 2, and GREAT in year 3. If Aldon Smith and Colin Kaepernick both live up to their potential, though, this will be an A- draft at least. Pass rusher and QB are just about the most valuable positions you could hope to address early.

was planning to alternate draft coverage with the Spurs_Chelsea game but had to take the kids to soccer practice and gym. Spurs disappointed this season, so did Arsenal.
Spurs tried to compete on two fronts – the Premier League and the Champions League – and had neither the squad nor the experience to do it. Been a fun ride though. Redknapp has given us two or three amazing years.

They get value out of their picks via trade. The players don’t even begin to tell the story of their drafts. This is a team who got Ryan Mallett and Marcus Cannon in the 3rd rounds or later. Ditto their selections of Aaron Hernandez and Brandon Spikes last year, an obvious bounty.
They draft well for their scheme as far as I’m concerned.

Nothing worse than draft day being finished and seeing 10 other teams with a draft looking much better than yours
Especially when we had so many picks coming into this thing.
These guys are drafting like college recruiters instead of a professional football organization. I’m sure at least a couple of the guys we drafted will surprise to the upside in a few years, but I fail to see how ANY of the players drafted in this entire draft will make this team better next year. And that even includes Aldon Smith, who I believe will need a year to make any impact beyond third down.

I think about anyone should take Nedney's place.
Not that I think he’s bad, but with a new regime and new systems on both sides of the ball I think it would be smart to go with youth. By the time we are a Lombardi contender Nedney won’t be around.
If we have to go through 1 or 2 guys to get his replacement we don’t want to be down by 2 on the 33 with 2 seconds left in the 2013 NFC Champ game with a rookie kicker sweating it out.
I think our pre-draft roster is quite solid
it was coaching that let us down.
Now is it a SB roster? No. But I don’t think we entered this draft looking for that many immediate starters.
Not looking for immediate starters?
That’s nonsense! If you know a player is an immediate starter, you take him WAYYY OVER a guy with upside! If he’s an immediate starter that means that he’s already a year or 2 ahead of the guy with upside!
i dont see how it is possible to "reach" in these late rounds.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Yes I'm not sure about some of the things we've done
I like Smith, Kaepernick, and Hunter — but the rest of it leaves me scratching my head. They are guys with some growth ahead of them but I think we could have gotten impact players at the same picks that we could have still had long term with plenty of room to grow.
I don’t know what degree of say Harbaugh has in this draft, but I watched 3 years of unorthodox recruiting classes at Stanford, and as a Cal fan scratched my head and laughed. A dominating win over Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl was the culmination of that.
That's college
It’s a different animal than the NFL. And that’s kind of my point.

I don’t think the coaches think we need to worry about this years roster, we are pretty strong as far as starters. We may benefit if we could get a veteren here or there in FA if there ever is one. But for the most part we can ease these guys in.
Aldon Smith will probably be starter sometime this season.

Jets Backup
I remember the booger incident with mark Sanchez
Harbaugh can turn any QB into a great one. He's a QB guru, even if he's only been a head coach at the college ranks.

Yep - I posted earlier, in another thread, my thoughts on those type of reactions ...
NN user: ALDON SMITH? THAT IS RIDICULOUS? ALDON F——— SMITH? WHAT ARE THEY DOING? THIS IS STUPID!
Quote – Trent Baalke says "we’re really happy about this pick."
NN USER: Having seen Baalke’s comment, I now feel a lot happier about this pick. I think he’s the new Lawrence Taylor. OH WAIT, CHRIS CULLIVER? CULLIVER? NEVER EVEN HEARD OF HIM. CHRIS CULLIVER? THIS TEAM IS RUN BY MORONS!
Quote – Trent Baalke says "we’re pretty pleased about Culliver."
NN USER: Having seen Baalke’s comments, I’m pretty happy with Culliver. I think he’s the new Champ Bailey.
Colin Kaepernick
NN USER: we love this guy QBOTF!!!!
Harbaugh: I am really happy about Colin
NN USER: uh oh, we agree.
Wait
Is anyone happy with Culliver at all?
I’m worried he won’t make the roster unless we just clean house and he makes it by default.
I'm higher on him than you are
but I am trying to be optimistic.

damn... McElroy taken by the Jets
what a great 7th round pick
with the 45th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. The San Francisco 49ers select...
McElroy. Jets.
Shit.

The 49ers
draft is starting to look real good with their picks today. My stamp of approval on pretty much every pick in this draft. Still look warm on the Culliver pick.

hell yeah watching online
Glad nfl network is streaming

Hmmm, I don't think so
Not a huge Sanchez fan but McElroy kind of reminds me of Ken Dorsey. Better NFL quarterback than he has any right to be but just not enough physical ability to be a starter.
Wouldn't be too surprised
Sanchez is terrible. Jets are a 15-1 team with a decent QB

As long as they keep that line and run game beastly, then you can plug any QB in there.
Don’t think Sanchez is anything special…
He's not.
He was better than John David Booty but that’s not saying much
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on Apr 30, 2011 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions
And the Jets traded way up to get him!
The whole NFL Draft phenomena is so crazy to me! Don’t understand about 85% of any pick! But I think Sanchez is one injury away from losing his job to McElroy!
this draft is going to clean house

Gonna guess this until we take a FB
Harbaugh can turn any QB into a great one. He's a QB guru, even if he's only been a head coach at the college ranks.
49ers got Bruce Miller.
Basically, he’s Owen Marecic.
And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

He stands up and plays LB too. And we’re drafting him as a FB. He’s a lot like Marecic athletically and physically.
And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
SaberCats Examiner | SB Nation Bay Area | Niners Nation | Twitter
They were asking him what he thought about Josh Johnson possibly coming to the 49ers
and how he sometimes seemed to make really bone-headed plays.
He might have answered with
What do you think about Peter King maybe taking your job? And what’s with these idiotic questions you are asking?
Anybody else feel this way?
Given what I’ve read about him and from his Wonderlic score, Kaep’s supposed to be a smart guy.
But I must say, he doesn’t come across as too intelligent hearing him talk. I feel like at least with Alex, I feel like I could “see” the smarts.
I'm a pretty intelligent person
But if it was me up there I would probably be nervous and stammering
talking intelligent /= intelligence

they can't talk to anyone they don't draft
and once the draft is over, they can’t even talk to the draftees
(which confuses me— does Mr. Irrelevant even get a phone call?)

they can talk to the draftees, and have them over for a couple days
but can’t talk about playbooks, can’t coach
