Nose tackle with size and power that fuels his rumbling playing style. Jones lacks explosive get-off and hand twitch. He's unlikely to be a quick-win defender, but the anchor and upper-body power are present for gap-control duties once he gets his footwork and hand usage schooled up. He was a standout on a bad defense and more than held his own against the toughest competition he faced. Jones has the demeanor, traits and overall ability to become a successful run-plugger and potential starter in a two-gapping scheme.
Four-year starter with appealing length, athleticism and leadership traits to sell to teams. Van Demark lands in a classic role as a likely late-round move tackle. He's scheme-dependent, requiring a fit with a zone-heavy team as he will be much better at getting to the spot than commanding the one in front of him. He's likely to be unable to win a battle of wills against NFL power at the point of attack and his athletic ability doesn't help as much as expected in pass pro due to a disconnection between his hands and feet. The traits give him a chance to be drafted but his frame and upside might be maxed out.
