STM Take
Tier 7 (#56) to tier 6 (#46) to tier 3 (#22) is a 34-spot three-year STTM climb that puts Jones on a clean developmental arc for a 3rd-round pick. The UConn AAC pedigree plus the Ravens' position-specific coaching gives him real developmental foundation. The 2026 question is whether Jones earns his first Pro Bowl plus crosses into tier 2 territory or whether the 2025 finish stabilizes at top-25 IDL.
Jones came out of UConn as the Baltimore Ravens' 3rd-round pick (76th overall) in 2022 after earning 2021 American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. He has anchored the Ravens' interior across four seasons. His STTM career runs tier 7 (#56) in 2023, tier 6 (#46) in 2024, and tier 3 (#22) breakout in 2025.
Strengths
- 34-spot three-year STTM climb from tier 7 (#56) to tier 3 (#22) for a 76th overall pick puts him on a clean developmental arc.
- UConn AAC 2021 DPOY plus the structural Ravens anchor role gives him real veteran market value.
Concerns
- Single tier 3 finish without prior top-30 STTM history raises the question of whether the 2025 jump is structural or one-year context.
- Baltimore's broader defensive identity around the Linderbaum-Madubuike-Hamilton multi-position investment compresses Jones's structural snap share.
What to watch: Whether Jones earns his first Pro Bowl in 2026 plus holds tier 3 or better, the threshold for confirming the developmental climb continues.
