ok- let me explain it the way the coaches are thinking right now.
Autry really came on last season and was a force at the end of 2012. He will also be a Sr- his spot at SDE is rock solid.
Chris Jones is an outstanding talent that is raw and needs to learn alot of technique. He also needs to develop alot more shoulder strength.
Smith and Brown are guys that have been in the program awhile now. The coaches are high on both of these guys- especially Brown. They will be battling each other for the starting spot and should be solid on technique by the Fall.
If you put Jones at WDE with Smith and Brown, then that leaves AJ Jefferson working 2nd team to rest Autry. You also cut down reps for all 3 guys at WDE as they battle for the spot. It will take Jones at least 2/3 of the season to overtake those guys- if he does at all as a true freshman.
The best route is to let Jones back up Autry in the position Jones will play as a Sophomore- and he also doesnt have to learn two positions. Get his 20 snaps per game and experience while he gets better on technique. This also allows Smith and Brown to grow at their positions while getting more of the reps they need.

Because obviously you work with the coaches everyday and know what they've said and think around the team more than everyone else does.

Smith yes, Brown no.

While this is true, this has nothing to do with how good Jones is.

Many reports at the end of the season said that AJ Jefferson was impressing.

Are you saying that we don't rotate guys anyways? Or are you saying that if we have three talented guys we should only play one or two?

Broomfield to Safety and Eulls to DT has proven that our staff isn't afraid to move people out of position if it betters the team.

Once again, you're assuming we don't rotate people. All this does is make Smith vs Brown more competitive to get more second string reps, and it doesn't matter who wins. If Brown wins out we have a better, younger guy, and if Smith wins Brown still has another year to get ready.
