Denver traded the 111th, 130th and 191st picks in the draft for the 101st pick and the 134th pick.

A 6-foot-6, 283-pound player, Jones recorded 40 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two passes defensed in 2024.

A two-year starter, Jones recorded 43 pressures in 2024 after combining for 38 pressures over his first three seasons.
