WR Marvin Jones, California

[nunusguy]

2012 Senior Bowl practices come to a close today with the game set to kick off tomorrow afternoon at 1:00pm PT. One player having a stand-out week is wide receiver Marvin Jones. The Cal product put together a solid career with the Bears in spite of having some inconsistent quarterbacks throwing to him (sorry Kevin Riley fans)
Alfie Crow of Big Cat Country continued his in-person rundown of practices and had a few comments about Jones' Wednesday performance:
Jones continues to beat press coverage and drive defenders off in his cuts. He doesn't seem to waste any movement in his routes either and seems to catch everything. Jones also gives maximum effort on every play and held his own in run blocking drills.
Analyst Matt Waldman had more extensive thoughts about Jones that were quite effusive in complimenting the receiver. Waldman indicated Jones excelled in just about every aspect of the Wednesday's practice. He described Jones as a light-footed runner with strong change of direction and extremely sound technique, with great willingness and intensity in run-blocking. Waldman compared Jones' potential to that of a Donald Driver. You can read an interview Waldman conducted with Jones this week. It includes some really interesting material.
I bring up Jones in part because our old friends at Draft Tek projected out Jones to the 49ers in the 5th round.

Doubt that we could get him in the 5th round, but definitely don't have to use our first rounder on him or another WR to get somebody who might help us - this is a very deep Draft for receivers.
