Why the Rams should NOT select Julio Jones

It seems I'm flogging a dead horse here, but hopefully this post will clarify my stance on Julio Jones and make my point easier to discuss.
I will embed a few links of the highlights of AJ Green, Julio Jones and Jonathan Baldwin. After the links I will hopefully cohesively digress the reasons as to why I believe Julio Jones would not be a great fit for the Rams.
I will retract my statement that he is no more than an elite #2 WR in the NFL. I will now say this, Julio Jones is not what the Rams need to go forward. Should we select him I hope he proves me wrong, but seeing as we are months away from the draft and even before declarations, I will stand by this viewpoint and maybe open some eyes as to why I feel this way about Julio Jones.
(I will try and avoid the 5 minute highlight videos, and get the quickest selection that epitomise the players I'm showing)
Julio Jones videos:
Jonathan Baldwin:
AJ Green:
Now it is clear all of these guys are phenomenally talented, and I would hope I'd be correct in assuming in an ideal world we leave the 2011 draft with AJ Green... however, the issue is dependent on if he is there when we pick, which looks unlikely seeing as how well we have done this season.
My point here is not so much that we should trade up for AJ Green (although I believe we should) but that we should NOT pick Julio Jones. Not because he is not a talented WR, but that his skillset is not what we require to take our offense to the next level.
I will form my argument using the videos I have posted, two of Julio Jones' marquee grabs and runs, but also of write ups (referencing the Peterson vs Jones duel) and other longer highlight videos.
Julio Jones is a possession, YAC big bodied receiver, with questionable hands. He is great at outmuscling DBs (and even linebackers) to balls and being dangerous with the ball in his hands. A lot of his highlights show him grabbing the ball on crossing routes or screens, then mauling his way to first downs or touchdowns.
In his recent matchup with the #1 CB prospect in the country Jones had a good game, mainly beating Peterson on slant routes. Source is here: http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2010/11/6/1798446/julio-jones-cements-as-early-first-round-nfl-draft-pick
He has made plays downfield, but it is not his primary use in Alabama's offense, and his skillset is better suited to underneath and mid range routes.
Question: What do the Rams need in this draft?
Answer: A legitimate #1 WR, a downfield threat who can go UP and make plays in traffic, opening up underneath routes to Amendola and co. whilst also freeing up running lanes for His Holiness Sir Steven Jackson.
Is Julio Jones what the Rams need?
from the above breakdown and evidence, it seems he is a bigger bodied, more highly rated out of college version of what we already have. Amendola is great underneath, and behind him is YAC master Gibson (don't deny it despite his poor show vs 49ers) and the potential of Mardy Gilyard to make people miss in space too.
A lot of people moan about the Rams offense being too dink and dunk orientated, and that the underneath throws make it too easy for defenses to camp within underneath the 1st down marker and challenge us to beat them over the top. by stacking the box there is less room for Amendola and co. to make yardage and less room for Steven Jackson to run. There is no THREAT of a deep ball, and thus our offense can get bogged down with 3 and outs, heaping pressure on our stellar Defense. This also makes Rams offensive football less exciting to watch as a spectator.
The Rams need a receiver like (or we just need) AJ Green. This guy can make great plays in traffic, downfield, making YAC underneath and shows dependable hands. If a ball is thrown behind him, above him, under him, around him or through him he still makes the grab. He is a beast. The threat of AJ Green deep or mid will move safeties and dbs off the line of scrimmage, giving more freedom for Pat Shurmer to call a variety of plays. Thus making the Rams offense more dynamic and a threat to score from any range.
AJ Green may not fall to the Rams, and the chances of us moving up to grab him are slim. Although we can always dream...
HOWEVER.
Jonathan Baldwin is "a poor man's AJ Green". The highlights I have posted showcase his range and his ability to make plays DOWNFIELD. He is a go up and get it receiver. I would be happier getting Baldwin over Jones because he is something we do not have, and his skillset and size is invaluable to making our offense more dangerous.
As someone said in another post, if AJ Green is the next Megatron, Baldwin is Optimus Prime. Continuing this analogy Julio Jones is like Bumblebee.
I'd rather have a less cool Big Time Transformer than a very cool Autobot.
(sorry my Transformers knowledge is limited)
To wrap up my verbose post, Julio Jones is a very talented WR, but his skillset does not match up to our need coming into this draft. He is essentially a bigger version of what we have already, and although his talent level may be higher than Baldwin's (in the eyes of very many) I'd take Baldwin's lower talent level but his current skillset over Julio Jones (if we can't get Green).
Baldwin can add things to the Rams offense I simply cannot see Jones adding.
Should neither Green or Baldwin be available, but Jones still be there, I'd rather see us address a more pressing need at other positions than make what I'd deem a luxury pick.
Thanks for reading this post, hope you enjoyed it and feel free to discuss in the comments below.

I agree with everything except
He can be a downfield threat it’s just his offense that he’s in now, they are a run first type of team and they refer to the pass downfield not too much. I bet if he was on a team that he had to make a play downfield he could do it. BUT i do prefer Green over him and I hope we trade up for him but i wouldn’t be too mad if we got Jones
And
I really wouldn’t be too mad with Baldwin either, I don’t know who i like more out of Jones and Baldwin though plus most of the balls that are thrown to Jones down field are over thrown so you have to take that into account. How many times is Bradford gonna miss down field? Not many
Hmm
I don’t know much about college players, but out of the three players I’ve looked up, Baldwin looks the most impressive to me. I hope we can get him.
Btw, what’s up with McRae and Dominique Curry? Are they out for the season due to injuries or just not on the roster?
I like what I see from Baldwin in that video, and I think he'd make a decent 2nd round pick
He’s big but I don’t see many catches in that video of him going way up to get the ball, and I’m wondering if that’s because his QB doesn’t throw it up for him to get it very often or if he just can’t handle those kinds of catches.
Anyone who watches him on a regular basis know?
I’d actually like the Rams to sign a FA WR more than anything, there are a lot of good ones available next offseason.
After watching a few more Baldwin highlights I've concluded that the PITT QB is terrible
makes me like Baldwin even more
hahahahaha
yeah he’s definitely not got it easy, but he’s doing a good job, and that shows what he could maybe do with a great qb throwing it to him :)
Bradford to Onobun!
Rec'd
I semi-agree with you, but you don’t form an argument piece better than this. Well argued, great use of YouTube… well done, Info.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
thanks man, if there was anyone I wanted reading this post was the draft guru himself lol
I was wondering though, as I don’t watch college games in their entirety and live in the UK, I can only go off highlights, but how accurate was my assessment?
how do you semi agree?
Bradford to Onobun!
I agree on Jones' skill set
but I don’t know that said set isn’t exactly what we need. Jones somewhat reminds me of someone we saw yesterday: Roddy White. And watching that game, Atlanta dinked and dunked their way to an easy road victory (I really want to apply those three words to the Rams at some point this year). I wonder if the 2011 Rams offense isn’t going to open up just slightly.
If we go into week 1 next season with Mark Clayton, Donnie Avery, a healthy Danario Alexander (qualified adjective usage) and a trio of TEs in Fells, UhOh and Onobun, I don’t see why adding someone who doesn’t change our offense but makes it better (essentially the point of your post) doesn’t make sense.
My only issue, as I threw out at the end of this week’s Turf Show Radio episode, is opportunity cost. To get Julio Jones, we’re going to have to spend a 1st round pick in all likelihood. That means missing out on the best D-linemen or even interior O-linemen, to say nothing of OLBs. That’s a high, high price to pay for a WR who becomes a system option and not a go to guy.

I agree
I think there’s more value at wr in the second round with Baldwin, Floyd or Blackmon. I don’t want to miss on one of those d-lineman. To me, Paea in the first and Floyd in the second would be great for the team.
yeah essentially thats a non critical way of saying what i wanted to lol
Baldwin to me is a better option even in the first round though, as I am not sure he will be there come our selection round 2. hopefully something silly happens like he buys new trainers and the NCAA suspends him a game and he falls into our laps? lol
then the 1st rounder can go on either AJ Green if he falls or OLB/DLine.
do you think there’s any way we take Pouncey?
is he better than his steeler brother?
Bradford to Onobun!
The way our O-Line looked against the Falcons
.. no way we don’t hit that in the draft fairly early IMHO.
All those guys above look solid, each with different skill sets. Grren looks like a lankier Bruce with better playmaking ability… Jones looks like a Moss who has no problem getting physical.
Baldwin is interesting… to me he almost looks sluggish (sort of like a TE?) but seems to have a good knack for getting open, and phenomenal hands.
Bradford to Baldwin also has a ring to it.
Pooch punts should be illegal inside an opponents 38 yard line.
Methinks
we need a WR that gets open the old fashion way… by outfaking the cb and using suddenness and agility. With the exception of Aj green, the rest of the 1st round receivers look like big bodied jumpers who would struggle running the entire route tree. Justin Blackmon looks the part also. Julio Jones looks like Larry Fitzgerald with less maturity, agility, and more speed.
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.
I don't know, it may seem obvious
but Baldwin (Pitt) seems more like Fitz to me… (also Pitt) lol
AJ Green is like Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Julio Jones is a bit like Anquan Boldin but bigger…
Blackmon seems like a TO sort of receiver, can catch it everywhere, although I haven’t seen as much video of him.
Bradford to Onobun!
i just want someone who will not get injured
is there any wr out there with super human powers of not getting injured? If so, I want him. Bradford will be able to make any “elite” college wr look alot better than they already are (unless they are laurant robinson..lol) but not if they are on IR with the rest of our core. Our problem has not been a huge lack of talent. Clayton looked like a beast with Bradford throwing to him. Our problem is 3/4 of our top recievers sitting on the bench with casts on. Green, Jones, Baldwin could all be magical but if their knee get’s blown out 3 games it we will be having the same conversation we are having now. What we really need to draft is a new wide reciever conditioning program.
LOL
I agree wholeheartedly. Although the way Jones plays, do you think he’d stay healthy getting hit all the time? guys in the NFL are bigger and piggybacks will be harder to do at the next level… might pull his back out lol
Bradford to Onobun!
I think your right that Jones is good
at the short stuff, but I would almost argue that he’s better than Baldwin at the deep ball also. This year he hasn’t showcased much, but neither has Baldwin. If you look a little deeper into his highlights he has at least 4 instances where McElroy threw the ball to the corner on a fly, and Jones used his strong hands, big body, and flexibility to grab it away from him.
I completely agree that at this moment, if you were not watching Julio Jones for nearly every snap, you would come away with a big bodied short threat. But, if you dive a little deeper I think you’ll see a WR with the complete package (maybe even more complete than Green) to be a danger to secondaries in the NFL. AJ Green is a poor man’s Calvin Johnson, Jonathan Baldwin is a poor man’s Plaxico Burress, and Julio Jones is the second coming of TO (minus the drama).
I understand the concern with WR in the draft, but Jones is not limited in any aspect. Baldwin is a little slow and can be rough getting seperation, Green can be muscled about because of his small stature, Jones…? Drops if your being picky, but he really doesn’t drop it more often than the average reciever. It’ll be interesting to see the Senior bowl/Combine results.
Julio Jones for Rams 2011
yeah unfortunately it's difficult for me to get game film beyond what is available on youtube, although i try hard
but just going from what I’ve seen I’d say Alabama play short ball with Jones because it’s what he is best at. as he only gets a few throws as they are a run heavy team, the ability to showcase the full range of his abilities is limited. despite this though I think that if he was better on the deep balls than we are lead to believe then he would be utilised in that respect more, I trust that Alabama is well coached enough to play to the players’ strengths…
One thing I don’t like about Jones is how upright and stiff he plays? he doesn’t look particularly agile and while there are a few grabs where he has made diving one handers he doesn’t seem to have the range of movement you see in Green or Baldwin, and wouldn’t this affect his route running ability?
you do have Julio Jones for Rams 2011 in your sig so I may be preaching on deaf ears, but thanks for hearing me out and it’d be interesting to see what you think on the topics I just brought up, as you know I am still trying to learn and can’t watch too much college ball…
Bradford to Onobun!
That may be my only gripe with Julio
wasn’t gonna say something until someone hit on it, but yes, he’s not a fluid athlete. He’s strong, he’s fast, he can run after the catch, but all in a sort of jerky fashion. Now I’m not sure it’s an exact negative, but it’s tempting to file it under ‘poise’. It seems to stem from a focus/comfort problem that I think will be remedied naturally over time, but right now it’s limiting his production (even though he’s producing).
On the Bama front, I think it’s less an assessment of Jones’ abilities and more a product of the Saban philosophy. Saban holds his team in this high pressure system where all plays must be positive, confining playcalling to low risk run/short pass selections (not a function of his players, a function of his personality). Georgia and Pitt have nothing to lose, so you can see the flashier plays out of those guys. I think what’s important to take out of Jones’ season is he produces when thrown to him, he blocks well, he consistently gets seperation on high level corners, and he has no issues (broken hand? cheyah right).
On his catching radius/range of movement, he’s great at high point and getting the most speed out of his routes when the ball’s in the air, and when the jump ball comes he won’t show you the finesse grab-he’ll ‘beast mode’ it on the corner and rip it out. His routes are sharp, the occasional “hey, I’m better, just throw it to me” route will sneak in, but nothing to worry about. If I were rating these guys: Green-Top 5, Jones-Top 8, Baldwin/Blackmon- Top 30, Floyd-Top 40. If we want a tough do-it-all guy, Jones is the best in the draft.
Julio Jones for Rams 2011
i think Floyd is so underrated
i like his athleticism and his route running. Maybe not as athletic as any of the other guys but he gets open unbelievably easy… if only he could learn to catch it…
Can we get an austin pettis in a later round too?
i dont agree
your argument about the slants and short routes being his specialty is exactly why we should draft him. He is the perfect west coast receiver. He looks like an anquan clone when he plays and no one can tell me boldin wouldn’t be a great addition to the rams. and as far as the stretching the field we have 3 guys that already do that, clayton, avery and alexander. Julio is like the only receiver i want the rams to take because he is an absolute beast… perfect for our west coast, catch and run and beast through dbs like sjax… The rams have like no YAC receivers and he’d fill that void def…
yeah but avery, alexander and clayton are where right now?
on IR or recovering from a thousandth knee surgery. (I love Alexander btw)
I think we need a receiver who we believe will be healthy, and will add the vertical element to our game, Clayton is good deep, but he is not a blazer or a big guy.
NO yac receivers? I disagree, Amendola, Gibson, Gilyard…. all these guys specialise in YAC and are west coast guys, more agile and able to make more awkward grabs than the upright Jones… or am i just totally blind? lol
Bradford to Onobun!
wanna talk right now
gilyard has done nothing… no yac… amendola yea hes good but we doesnt get much yac at all. Gibson doesn’t have a skill set anywhere near jones. and we can’t make a pick in the draft just based on if our guys get hurt… we gotta have confidence they will be ok.. if not we might as well trade em for more picks.
Gilyard is a rookie.
let him develop, next year he can start showing YAC.
Gibson doesn’t have a skillset as much as Jones but he’s a bit shiftier.
Amendola doesn’t get YAC because everyone is sitting on his routes.
You add a vertical element and there’s room for everyone to move.
I think we take who is best for us, and if we can’t get that vertical threat we’ve got to take the most dominant OLB or Dlineman.
Bradford to Onobun!
I am an advocate for Green
But mh39 is right, Sam Bradford has worked with WR that can run after that catch and the only one that the rams have now is Amendola. Jones is a big target that Sam could utilize very well in that west coast offense. I still won’t mind Green of course but I sure wouldn’t mind Jones.
I am not saying Jones is bad
but surely what we lack is something we don’t have a semblance of (well we do, but he is often a doubt due to injury). a big downfield WR… if amendola can get the YAC already, why have 2 guys when the same issue of crowded boxes will persist?
Amendola is a ‘poor man’s Wes Welker’ or a younger version as I’d like to call him, but where is his Moss? Jones would just be the equivalent of a bigger Wes Welker…
Bradford to Onobun!
I disagree that jones is not a fit for the rams
but i love the post and you present many valid points personally I would like to take BPA (as long as it fits a need) in the first and then target blackmon baldwin floyd or jones in the 2nd and the maybe pick up jernigan in the 4th because i trust 3k’s analysis of him and he sounds like a good deep threat
thanks man
I agree, BPA is important and I don’t think that we should reach on Julio Jones… which is my fear.
for me if we can’t get Green or Peterson (this years Suh and McCoy imo) get the best OLB, DE or DT on the board. then get Baldwin who is a better fit for our need (i believe) in the 2nd.
I also like Blackmon, but I don’t know if we’d get him, although he seems like a good kid, he is friends with Dez Bryant and that association alongside the DUI (although it was BS) may knock him off our board. (I hope not)
Bradford to Onobun!
I agree that everything that you mentioned concerning julio jones explains why the rams would want him. The guys forte is exactly what you look for in a top west coast wide-out. With that said, I also think that he has a skill set that would make him a more than capable deep threat as well. If we have the opportunity to take him I would be more than satisfied with the pick. With that said, I think that any of the top 3 wide outs in the proper place would be good pick ups. I like that green is being so hyped up because I would prefer jones in the mid 1st or baldwin in the early second to green in the early first. I think green is good, but as has been stated before, he is a megatron lite and I think that Julio Jones has the potential to make a name for himself as much more than that. I’m thinking hakeem nicks with more height.
Not to say that nicks is better than megatron, but I am more emphasizing the liteness in reference to Green.
yeah I see the Nicks comparison... although Nicks seems like a smoother athlete (as he isn't so tall)
I agree they’d all be good pick ups from a talent level, but i just don’t understand why you guys think that more of the same is a good thing?
everyone hates on the playcalling saying let sam air it out yet you are advocating a guy that specialises in underneath throws?
I don’t agree that we should get better at what we have before we get more versatile, you win in the league by having a multiplicity of dimensions, we should never let ourselves be strictly a WCO team imo
Bradford to Onobun!
I agree with what your saying about keeping the offense diverse and trying to stay away from a simply west coast offense. I do, however, think that jones is far more than one dimensional. And adding a player that specializes in the type of offense that we focus on and can additionally go and get the deep ball seems to be what I would look for as opposed to a player that specializes in running the deep route and can occasionally run a slant and break off some good yardage.
valid point
but do you know what they said about Roddy White coming into the draft?
or Andre Johnson even?
this is an honest question as I wasn’t knowledgeable enough about the draft to observe those things.
Bradford to Onobun!
im reccing this
not because i agree, but you worked hard and put effort into it unlike the next 5 fanposts that are a paragraph and most of the time poor grammar
loooooooooooooooooooooooool
thanks!
i really didn’t feel i was making my point particularly well, so thought i’d do it right. i was ill so i had the time lol
Bradford to Onobun!
Wow...
Agree one thousand percent. AJ = BEAST! if we could come out with him by the end of the draft………. i would be one happy man. and congrats on the article very well done. WR is what we need so much of and soo desperatly!!! maybe add Aj and an FA in the offseason and man oh man we’d be something special!
And the future...begins now. I believe in Sam Brad
Blackmon
Is the way to go if he comes out this year.
After watching a couple Pitt games
I’m not sold on Baldwin. Yeah, he can go up and get the ball. But, on every 3rd down or when they needed a big play, they didn’t go to him. I may be wrong and he possibly could have been double-covered, but, isn’t that one of the things that constitute a “legitimate #1” that you’re advocating?
Also, if you are looking for “someone to stretch the field,” isn’t Julio Jones faster than Baldwin? Is Julio Jones strictly the medium route guy you say, or, is that simply how Jones fits in Alabama’s run-heavy/possession offensive system?
I could be wrong about both of these and I think your post was great, but, let’s not completely rule someone out when the draft is 5 months away
Jones can go up and get
nuff said. Alabama hasnt showed it this year but oh god can he go deep
Finally, some one sees what I have been seeing all year.
I so totally agree with all that was said. Jones would be a big mistake for us and you could also forget about Floyd, he will follow in the foot steps of all the other Notre Dame players that have flopped in the NFL.
My hopes
I don’t like Julio Jones, and I don’t like Notre Dame.
AJ Green is going in the top 5 and the Rams will not be in the top 5.
The IDEAL choice is Jon Baldwin in the second round, I wouldn’t even mind trading up to get an earlier 2nd round pick.
Eh I still say Juilo Jones will be the next T.O
I don’t know if he will have the work ethic or whatever. He has the size he also runs good routes.Mark Clayton wasn’t the fastest, but he consistently made plays.

T.O's
work ethic has never been questioned in his life though.

Oh yeah,
so that’s why Jon Baldwin was my favorite one of them.

work ethic?
T.O has what most consider the best work ethic in the NFL thats a long known fact you want Jones to have that kind of work ethic for sure.
Yup I think he is the second coming of T.O
He could be the play maker the Rams have been looking for. Plus he broke his hand in October,, yes he had surgery but it don’t look like he missed a beat. He is a good run blocker, and he is playing in a pro style offense/ I’m pretty sure he is in a dink and dunk offense in Alabama,

As for the T.O. comparison...
..on the field, maybe, but if we compare personalities, well, there’s no comparison: http://video.tidesports.com/video/676570414001
I mean you never know how they act until they are in the NFL.
That’s why I didn’t say anything about it. T.O answers most questions like this, remember when he cried over Tony Romo.

More Than Meets The Eye
“(sorry my Transformers knowledge is limited)”
Then don’t use them to make your point. That bit really didn’t make any sense. Good article, though, and well argued.
None of the above
While all of the above would be nice, other factors would come into play. No matter how talented recievers are, very few make a instant impact. I think the F.O. would rather trade a 3rd or later draft pick or sign a free agent reciever who fits the four pillars (see Mark Clayton).
As much as the Rams have improved this year, ther are still many areas that I feel need to be addressed other than receiver (OLB, Back-up RB, Secondary, DT and OG). And IF Clayton and Avery return to form next season and Alexander continues to progress along with Amendola in the slot, even Manning will envy Bradford.
As much as SJax has done in his career, he deserves a chance to be like M. Faulk, who was able to thrive with other threats around him.
"The only thing better than watching the Rams win is watching the Rams win with my wife."
If AJ Green falls to us, that would be awesome but if I had my choice...
….between Julio Jones and Jonathan Baldwin, I would rather take Baldwin. These videos that are posted don’t show enough of Julio Jones’ highlights. I have seen other videos and I notice that Jones is a “body catcher”. He waits until the ball hits him in the chest which to me opens up the doors for the defender to have more time to defend the pass or intercept it. Jonathan Baldwin has INCREDIBLE hands and I feel that the target radius for Bradford to Baldwin will be much larger just with Baldwin’s tendency to extend the arms out and make the catch with his hands instead of waiting for the ball to come to him.
I'm suffering from an extreme case of laurinaitis!
I think the catch Baldwin makes at the 1:54 mark on the video above proves my point.
I'm suffering from an extreme case of laurinaitis!
all i can do is agree
i really just don’t think Jones would add anything to our offense, and his catch radius being limited wouldn’t matter with Sam, but it’d be nice to have a WR where the odd chance a ball is batted he can go and make a circus grab…
also. may i make a general point
AFTER THE BRONCOS GAME
having DX in the line up and a WR with the ability to stretch the field you see what our offense can do???
add AJ Green on the other side and this team would be horrendously dominant offensively and defense will catch up.
you take the top off the offense and you threaten a deep ball and everyone else has room to work… elementary.
Jones won’t scare DRC or Trufant deep… Green and DX on the otherhand….
this past game is all the evidence you need to see that Jones is not a fit for us.
Bradford to Onobun!
