Packers selected UCLA DL Datone Jones with the No. 26 overall pick.
They finally replace Cullen Jenkins. Jones (6-foot-3 7/8, 283) totaled 13.5 career sacks, 36.5 tackles for loss, and four forced fumbles as the lynchpin of UCLA's defense, playing both 3-4 end and three-technique tackle. Jones has short arms (32 3/4") not unlike 2012 first-rounder Melvin Ingram, but plays with aggression and active hands. Jones showed short-area explosion at the Combine with a 1.63 ten-yard split, also repping 225 pounds 29 times. Greg Cosell has compared Jones to a smaller Richard Seymour. He's going to be primarily an inside pass rusher for a Green Bay team looking to get bigger and more physical on defense. Apr 25 - 11:00 PM

Datone Jones - DL - Packers

UCLA DE Datone Jones ran a 4.80 official forty at the Combine and was a top-five performer among defensive linemen in the 20-yard shuttle (4.32).

Jones, who goes a squatty 6-foot-4, 283, repped 225 pounds on the bench 29 times, posted a 9-foot-4 broad jump, and leaped 31 1/2 inches vertically. The Combine workout is roughly as expected. Though somewhat limited athletically, Jones plays with a relentless motor and was highly productive for UCLA coach Jim Mora, registering 19 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks as a senior.
