2.12 Tennessee Taz Devils - RB Matt Jones

In the real world: The Washington football team drafted Jones out of Florida in Round 3, and he probably will inherit the passing-down back role from Roy Helu Jr. (who signed with the Raiders in free agency). Jones has gone on record as saying he loves the way they run the ball in D.C.--"I love running downhill"--and that the Gators didn't use him right. Note: Alfred Morris will be a free agent after this season.
In the TUFF world: I was initially surprised that Tennessee didn't go with a wide receiver this time--they have Demaryius Thomas and Mike Wallace, with Davante Adams entering his second year, but not much else, and Chris Conley and Justin Hardy were still on the board. However, Jones' potential 2016 job situation, coupled with the usual elevated demand for RBs in TUFF, means that choosing him over Conley and Hardy is a good choice.
