Free Agent WR Jacoby Jones is an interesting prospect. Although it could be argued that he is a clone of Ben Obomanu, I don't doubt that Schneider/Carroll will at least take a look at him. Jones finished the 2010 season off on a strong note: week 14, 5 catches for 52 yrds and a TD; week 15, 7 catches for 50 yrds; week 16, 5 catches for 115 yrds; week 17, 5 catches for 70 yrds.
He's a speedster with sure hands. I'll throw some stats at you: According to Advanced NFL Stats, he was 9th amongst all WR's in Catch Rate, i.e., the proportion of total passes targeted to a receiver that are caught. The ability to catch such a high proportion of passes that come your way is an attractive attribute, considering the amount of drops the Hawks had in key spots in their playoff loss to the Bears. His DYAR of 50, according to Football Outsiders, isn't eye popping. But it does place him right around (our) Mike Williams, Devin Hester, Pierre Garcon, and Roscoe Parrish. I'm not sure what cost Jones would come at, but if it were relatively little, the Hawks may consider taking a look.
Especially with TD dances like this.
