Jones opened the mock draft with Bijan Robinson at 1.01 and followed with Puka Nacua, Brian Thomas Jr., Drake London, Josh Jacobs and Kenneth Walker. He predicted Malik Nabers cracks the top three fantasy receivers, Drake London cracks the top five, and Kenneth Walker is a dark horse to be the overall RB1.
“Kenneth Walkers. This is a dark horse RB one, Like I'm talking RB one overall.”
