The Packers have selected safety Josh Jones from NC State with their second pick of the second round.
Here’s what the reaction was around the internet:
Lots of high praise from experts around Jones.
“Versatile, hybrid guy. Big hitter. Extremely versatile. Mature young man.” -- @JimMillerRFN on new @Packers CB Josh Jones

Back-to-back Cowboys (Awuzie) and Packers (Josh Jones) picks two more steals.

Charting/covering NC State games this fall I wrote down Josh Jones' name so many times. The Green Packers made themselves a great pick on D

Jones’ weakness may be his instincts.
The #Packers DS Josh Jones is an athletic, fast player. Who has the potential to play man to man. Some instinctive issues at times

But his strengths are helping solve the Packers weaknesses.
Green Bay Packers take Josh Jones. Ted Thompson drafts another big, high-end athlete. The NFC Title game exposed GB, TT's working to fix it.

Speed has been the name of the game tonight.
Before tonight, fastest combine 40 in #Packers secondary was Damarious Randall's 4.46.

Kevin King ran 4.43. Josh Jones ran 4.41.
Packers added a 6'3 corner who runs 4.43 and a 220 lb safety who runs 4.41. They had a guy running 4.68 covering Julio Jones/Odell last year

#Packers stay in secondary and pick S Josh Jones with 61st pick. 4.4 speed at 6-1.5. best speed at S and most reps on bench with 20
