Former Steelers QB Charlie Batch thinks the team will try to groom Landry Jones to eventually replace Ben Roethlisberger.
"Maybe two years from now, he could be our guy for the next 10 years," Batch said. "We don't know. But with the contracts for quarterbacks these days, he'd certainly be a heck of a lot cheaper than Ben at age 34 or 35 or 36." It's a bit of a reach to project Jones as an eventual NFL starter. He has the arm for it, but struggles when under pressure. The fourth-round project should be happy if he sticks in the league for 10 years as a backup. Apr 30 - 9:39 AM

Steelers selected Oklahoma QB Landry Jones with the No. 115 overall pick.

Jones (6-foot-4 1/8, 225) was a four-year starter, succeeding Sam Bradford and completing 65.0 percent of his career passes with a 123:52 TD-to-INT ratio in the Sooners' wide-open spread. Jones has starting-caliber arm talent -- he's drawn Ken Stabler comparisons from ESPN's Ron Jaworski -- but crumbles in the pocket with bodies around him and tends to sense pressure when it isn't there. He's got the Gabbert syndrome. Jones still throws the ball well enough with his feet set that he's worth a developmental flier. Ben Roethlisberger has missed eight games over the last three seasons and Jones fits Todd Haley's quick-hitting passing scheme.

ESPN's Jon Gruden believes QB Landry Jones got "bored" and "complacent" his final two years at Oklahoma.

"Jones was around so long and had seen so much as a college player that I think he got complacent," Gruden writes. "I see a player who got bored. ... The Sooners often went with four-wideout formations, and I thought it stymied their QB. They lost balance and their play-action passing game. That put a lot on Jones, and it probably created a situation where he had to throw the ball too often." Jones threw for 4,718 yards and 38 touchdowns as a sophomore, but fell short of both totals his junior and senior seasons. Immobile and inconsistent, Jones will be lucky to come off the board on day two.

The Bills will conduct a private workout with Oklahoma QB Landry Jones on Monday.

It's not a terribly noteworthy development, but this is the first we've heard of Jones since the Combine. At one time viewed as a likely first-round pick, Jones could struggle to come off the board on day two.

Oklahoma QB Landry Jones ran forty times of 5.03 and 5.03 at the NFL Scouting Combine.

He's not a great athlete. Jones can spin the football with the best of them -- his arm strength is not problematic -- but his accuracy and performance under pressure are big concerns. He'll be a middle-round project pick, most likely.

According to NFL Network's Mike Mayock, Oklahoma QB Landry Jones' 2013 draft value is difficult to peg because he's maddeningly inconsistent on tape.

"He’s so difficult to qualify," said Mayock. "I can look at certain games and go, 'That’s a first-round draft pick.' I can look at other games and go, ‘He’s a fifth-round guy.’ ... I’ve seen him make all the throws, but like a lot of this year’s quarterbacks, there is no consistency with this kid." Jones' inconsistencies will likely keep him out of the top two rounds.

Oklahoma QB Landry Jones announced that he will stay in school for a fifth year in 2012.

OU's all-time leading passer with 12,389 yards and 93 touchdown passes, Jones holds 21 records in total for the Sooners. Projected for the middle of the first round early in the season, Jones showed poor decision-making down the stretch while watching his draft stock plummet. With Jones and USC's Matt Barkley out of the picture, Matt Flynn and "bridge" QBs such as Kyle Orton and Jason Campbell will be in greater demand.
