Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Charlie Jones
Charlie Jones Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook
Charlie Jones is a dependable chain mover. He has the quickness to gain separation on quick hitters and offers a trusty set of mitts. Jones can chew up opposing secondaries underneath on slants and crossers. He offers little after the catch. He forced only two missed tackles beyond the line of scrimmage in 2022. He only managed 1.6-2.7 YAC per reception on short and medium-depth targets.
Jones bounced around with Buffalo and Iowa before finding a home with Purdue in 2022. He refused to settle and flashed potential with his big final season. That never-quit attitude will serve him well with sticking with an NFL franchise as a depth receiver.
His extensive resume as a returner (over 122 combined collegiate returns) will help him stick on a roster as he works his way up a receiver depth chart.

Charlie Jones 2023 NFL Draft Outlook
Summary:
It sure took a while, but Jones eventually established himself as a legitimate prospect with a highly productive senior season in which he did a bit of everything from the right side of Purdue’s offense. He is one of the most pro-ready receivers in the class and has very few holes in his game. If teams don’t mind his advanced age, he looks like a good plug-and-play receiver who should provide his quarterback with a reliable target sooner rather than later as a pro.
Projection: Round 3
