Do you think it was a matter of not bearing "to draft an LSU player"? Or maybe he thought replacing Colston was a higher priority and Michael Thomas graded out as a more pressing need at the time?

I agree, and I'm an LSU fan and would've loved to get Jones. But if you gave me the choice again I'd take Thomas every damn time.
