In his camp here this summer, Jones really did look amazing. He's got literally everything you want in a dominant interior guy. I am little surprised he's still as low as he is in the rankings, but hard to really be upset over an interior OL guy ranked in the Top 250 or so still.
One of the biggest fallacies in ranking is undervaluing interior OL. Ask any QB which is more disruptive, pressure on the edge or up the middle? Which is more important to a run game, lanes between the tackle or setting the edge. The other is the value of a quality center that can make line calls. Cush was more valuable than he gets credited because he not only physically, but mentally set the pace for the OL.

Rankings are based on NFL draft projections (As silly as that is), so that's why they dont put a premium on interior OL vs. OT when ranking.
