Please no!  Not before the 3rd round at least.

There have been a few OL that were 360 lbs or more that have recently come into the league.  Mike Williams, Aaron Gibson, Mekhi Becton.  All were drafted in the first rounn.  Williams and Gibson were absolute busts.  Becton is on his way to becoming one.

When Tackles get too big (and all of these guys are), the excess size has several negative effects.

It has an adverse effect on conditioning and durability.  Dawand Jones couldn't even complete a series of practice at the Senior Bowl.

It has an adverse effect on foot speed/quickness and agility.  Clearly oversized Tackles tend to be liabilities in pass protection. 

The goal is to provide TL quality protection.  Taking Dawand jones won't do anything to help in that area. 

If he is drafted anywhere before the 3rd round at the earliest, he will be the latest in a long line of Jaguars draft day busts, and set back the cause of Super Bowl contention several years.

He dominated the Senior Bowl and then sat out the rest of the way to avoid injury which i didnt agree with but a lot of players decline or dont even workout at the combine

Jordan Mailata has been just fine and Jones is a much better player coming out the Mailata was.  Jones is going to be a monster and a future Pro Bowler at RT
