The Arizona Cardinals cannot have face-to-face visits with any NFL draft prospects but that has not stopped them from communicating with potential draft targets. One such player is Houston offensive lineman Josh Jones.
According to Houston Chronicle reporter Aaron Wilson, Jones has video conferences with several teams coming up, including the Cardinals.
Houston LT Josh Jones @JoshJones_23 @UHCougarFB a rising first-round prospect from George Bush HS, has video conferences with Patriots, Texans, 49ers, Colts, Eagles, Rams, Chargers, Cardinals, Bucs, Bears, Ravens, Vikings, Jets, Packers #NFLDraft2020 @seniorbowl @JimNagy_SB

Jones is an intriguing prospect because of his length and athleticism. He has some upside but is not considered one of the top four tackles in the draft. Jones is projected as high as the mid or late first round and could be a Day 2 pick.
He was a four-year starter at Houston at left tackle. Some compare him to former Cardinals right tackle Bobby Massie, who has been a starting right tackle for many years.
He likely isn’t under consideration for the Cardinals with their pick in the first round unless they decide to trade down. As they do not have a second-round pick, they could be evaluating him in case he makes it all the way to the third round.
Jones would not necessarily project as a starter right away but could give the Cardinals some length for many years at one of the tackle positions.
