Positives - Everything out of the Panther's camp has talked about the TE position being primarily one of a blocker. I don't buy everything I read and look for Jones' size, hands, and speed to be incorporated into the red zone package. At 6'4" Freddie Jones towers over the entire Panther's WR corps. Let's not forget that the Panther's actually used Julius Peppers as a target in last year's goal line packages. I expect Jones to pick a portion of Muhammad's production as talent and necessity win out over philosophy.

Negatives - He might up and retire at the drop of a hat.

Draft Strategy - I was confident that I crushing the competition at this point in the draft, so I figured adding a guy collecting a retirement check will level the playing field and keep people interested in this competition.
