The San Francisco 49ers have selected Ole Miss’ DT D.J. Jones with the No. 198 overall selection in the 6th round of the NFL Draft.
D.J. Jones is a senior from Ole Miss, who comes in at 6-foot-1, 319 pounds. As Peter Panacy pointed out, DC Robert Saleh likes his nose tackles to be shorter and more stout.
Jones fits the bill here and the 49ers get a steal in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Jones was projected to be a 4th or 5th rounder by NFL.com, but to grab him in the 5th round is good value for the 49ers.
