Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones is next up on our scouting report series ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
When it comes to the Georgia product, you could make a strong argument that he is the biggest boom-or-bust prospect among all of the top offensive tackle prospects.
That type of duality naturally turns Titans fans into skeptics after the Isaiah Wilson disaster, but comparing Jones to Wilson simply because they’re polarizing prospects from Georgia is completely unfair to the former.
Wilson had issues both on and off the football field, while Jones’ issues revolve purely around football.
Jones is one of the hardest players in the draft to project because some teams value upside more than others. It truly wouldn’t shock me if he was the first tackle taken or if he ends up barely cracking the top five for his position group.
Jones will likely go through growing pains, but if he’s afforded patient and potent development, his selecting team could reap major benefits down the line.
This article is going to provide you with an educated opinion on the pros and cons of selecting the back-to-back national champion.
Before we get started, a quick reminder that unless noted otherwise, all of the grades and individual rankings that are included are my own opinions.
Jones has been a popular prospect to debate this entire draft season, so let’s go ahead and find out why.
