He is the 13th defensive tackle drafted from Ohio State in the common era (since 1967) and the first since Adolphus Washington (Buffalo) in 2016. Washington was also a third-rounder.
The only other Ohio State DT taken in the draft in the last 10 years is Johnathan Hankins, who was a second-round pick of the Giants in 2013.
Jones is the 10th Ohio State player drafted by the Broncos and the first since tight end Jeff Heuerman in 2015.
The first was offensive tackle Mike Current in the third round in 1967.

Parris Campbell is the first Ohio State player taken in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The Indianapolis Colts used the 59th pick to select the speedy receiver from Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.
He is the third Buckeye drafted this year — following Nick Bosa and Dwayne Haskins — and the 42nd OSU receiver drafted in the common era (since 1967).
That includes seven in the last 10 years and seven second rounders.
The last second-round receiver from Ohio State was Curtis Samuel, who was the 40th overall pick in 2017 by the Panthers.
Also notably taken in the second round was Michael Thomas, who was the 47th overall pick by the Saints in 2016.
Thomas has gone on to become one of the best receivers in the NFL as his 321 receptions are the most by a player in his first three seasons in the league.
He led the league with 125 catches last season and made the All-Pro team for the first time.
Parris Campbell is the 9th member of Ohio State's 2014 recruiting class to be drafted, surpassing the vaunted 2013 class and moving into 2nd among OSU classes since turn of century (2002 class had 12)

Campbell is the 21st Ohio State player drafted by the Colts organization, which began in Baltimore.
Nine of those picks have come since 2003, including second-rounders Mike Doss, Jack Mewhort and Tyquan Lewis.
