JJ Zachariason ranks Aaron Jones as RB43 versus ECR's RB37, explicitly avoiding him in later rounds. At 32 years old (turning 32 in December), Jones has no ceiling and declining efficiency: he set eight-year lows in rushing and receiving yards per game (4.9 yards per target and 2.3 receptions per game), was dead last in yards after contact per rush attempt among 49 RBs with 100+ attempts, and took a backseat to Jordan Mason in red zone work (37% of team's red zone carries). Zachariason argues Jones lacks both floor and ceiling, making him a roster clog in later rounds with no breakout potential and no shot of scoring many touchdowns.
