Twitter reacts to Broncos selection of Dre’Mont Jones in NFL draft

The Denver Broncos used the 71st selection in the 2019 NFL draft on Friday evening to select Ohio State defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the pick:

Broncos newest draft pick Dre'Mont Jones is a three-tech out of Ohio State who was a Freshman All American and a 2018 All Big-10.

Jones was caught up in an incredibly talented Ohio State line which rotated the likes of Nick Bosa, Jalyn Holmes, Tyquan Lewis and Sam Hubbard.

Dre'Mont Jones, finally the #Broncos go defense. Don't know enough about him, but I give this pick an A because it's defense

Dre'mont Jones was projected as a 2nd rounder. He has great hands, motor and flexibility and a lot of other positives, but needs more strength and technique.

He couldn't do better than to go under the tutelage of Bill Kollar, who is perhaps the best DL coach in the NFL.

I could see some in the MSM dinging the Dre'Mont Jones pick tomorrow because he isn't a clean fit in a 3-4 defense.
