Matt Jones Is a Reach For the Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins have had a very solid 2015 NFL Draft overall so far; however, the selection of Florida running back Matt Jones in the third round seems like a big reach to me for the team. I understand that the team lost Roy Helu earlier this offseason and that Washington wanted to add a complimentary piece to Alfred Morris, but there were certainly more pressing needs than running back on the roster. The Redskins may have wanted to add a running back in the draft, but the selection of Jones this early on just seems foolish.
