His first 10-15 passes were as perfect as you could do. Then he would get a little wobbly and short on some passes. He threw some of the best and worst deep passes I have seen in a pro day. Perfect in stride throw and then ones where the WR is almost stopped.
I will also add... at the very end when they moved him to the 20 he was amazing. Every throw until the end was perfect placement. He threw perfect fades and was very accurate on every throw.
So what does that tell me. Well I see Alex Smith honestly. His short game almost is exactly like him if you ask me.
That’s a very good comparison and an accurate assessment. I really like the Smith comp I see that as well after you said it. I rewatched it on YouTube and it rings true. Good analysis!
The deep balls where the wr stopped? Ha. The wr was already spotted 40 yards down the field. He hurt his hamstring and couldn't run anymore. Those balls weren't under thrown. We have some straight non football IQ PEOPLE on BBI.

Well, you're wrong. The WR who hurt his hamstring was running a fly on the right side.
Jones threw three deep go routes on the left side that were wobbly and way under-thrown.
He had another poor pass to the right side as well on a go route.
Any throws down the left that were way under thrown. Just because the ball is wobbly doesn't make it bad.
Agree, I actually went into it not too familiar with Jones and came away somewhat impressed. I watched it later in the day after reading through this thread and fully expected to see rainbow duck after duck with no arm strength but I saw a very good showing with some really good throws with great accuracy. I'm not saying he's the guy and I know it's only a pro day but it was impressive IMO.

If he doesn't throw a tight spiral, when he's playing in the winds of Giants Stadium the ball will die on some throws.
lock has a big arm and can move but has some accuracy issues
murray is very skilled all around but worry about him holding up
they all bring something unique i guess...
I believe Finley and Murray are the best pure passers with Lock just a notch behind. I will admit that I am biased against Haskins. I just don't think his game translates well to the NFL.

In defense of those like me who were watching, I think what happened is a few of us would post that we saw a wobbler at the same time on the SAME throw. And that sort of gave the illusion this was happening pass after pass after pass...
Like I said yesterday, Jones definitely exhibited good athleticism. And there are tools to work with on roll outs and hitting underneath routes with some pretty accuracy.
To me, Jones is a classic finesse QB. He's a bigger version of Lauletta. But I'm not sure he's any better than Lauletta. So why draft Lauletta, V2?

haskins is the best pure passer in the draft
jones moves well and is accurate
lock has a big arm and can move but has some accuracy issues
murray is very skilled all around but worry about him holding up
