Chance Warmack is the star of the Alabama OL and probably will go top 10. Jones is next in line, a top 20 as an OC/OG.

I think Barrett Jones will wind up in the Jonathan Martin, Stefan Wisnewski range in the mid-2nd round. He's solid, but nothing more. Guys like Joeckel, Matthews, Warmack, and maybe even Fluker will get drafted ahead of Jones because he's not a special player. The team that drafts him will probably get 8-10 years of above average interior OL play from him, but the guys I mentioned all have probowl potential. And guys with that type of potential (realized or not yet) tend to go higher.

If the aTm boys, Fluker, and Lewan all come out, Barrett Jones may 8th or 9th OL off the board (also behind Warmack, Cooper, Thomas, and Fisher).
