From the article

Jones led the NFL in passing yards and was top six in completion percentage and yards per attempt. Through 10 weeks, when the Colts were 8-2, Jones was QB5. Jones finished his abbreviated first season with Indy, completing 261 of 384 passes (career-best completion rate of 68 percent) for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Jones' QB25 ADP ignores his elite first-10-game pace and Colts' elite offense.

Jones is being drafted as QB25 despite leading the NFL in passing yards through 10 weeks (when the Colts were 8-2) and posting a career-best 68% completion rate with 3,101 yards, 19 TDs, and 8 INTs over 13 games before a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 14. He was QB5 over his first 10 games and QB10 when injured. An 11th-round pick for a second QB represents significant value given his early-season elite production and the Colts' record-setting offensive performance (31 PPG through eight games, 28.1 PPG through Week 14).
