Maurice Jones-Drew - Saved by the Pass?

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew caught a noteworthy 2 passes for 47 yards in the Jags preseason game against Tampa Bay. Granted, one of the large pass plays was on a missed tackle, but that is fairly commonplace with Jones-Drew's elusiveness.

If you are in a league that counts receptions for RB's, then Jones-Drew could provide some scoring power with his receptions, even if he does lose touches to Fred Taylor in the running game. I hesitate to put him in the second round, but feel free to pull the trigger on him in the third round of your draft.
