2012 Outlook: Super Sleeper (high risk/potential)

Last updated on May-27-2012 by Shawn Larabee

Jones has a window of opportunity following the off-season departure of Michael Bush. He'll likely start out as a change-of-pace back and will have to distinguish himself in that role before he can be considered a viable backup to McFadden. Undersized, his explosive speed could eventually make him a real difference maker.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month Position Franchise/Comments
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June)
June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012
16.04 KFFL.com - I think Taiwan Jones has the most upside of any back behind McFadden, and being an owner of DMC, I could do worse than cover my bases with this speedster.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July)
July 16 - 27
15.09 TheHuddle.com - I like Jones' upside as a change of pace guy who would see an uptick in touches if (when) McFadden gets hurt.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August)
Aug 14 - 24
14.04 FFToolbox.com (Matt) - If two or three things fall into place, boom! Taiwan Jones will be the starter and I'll look like a genius.
