I haven't followed the pre-draft stuff very much, but what's so special about Jackson? What makes him different than Jabar Gaffney or Reidel Anthony or other overhyped UF WR's I can't remember?

 

He's insanely fast and going to the same school as other busts means nothing.

I'm not saying he's guaranteed to be bad, but when you consistently have WR's from a school drafted and being busts, you have to question whether or not the system(I understand they've changed regimes, but principally it's been similar) masks their flaws.

Everyone says stuff like that but I'm not sure how two completely different people with different physical traits (I swear I typed traits here) will turn out the same because they went to the same school. Penn State running backs used to be thought to all be busts. How's that working out now?

 

Anyway, Jackson is a physical specimen and that's largely what makes up his draft stock.

Ah, the Penn State Running Back Syndrome (only recently broken by Larry Johnson, but previously proudly brought to us by Blair Thomas, KiJana Carter and Curtis Enis)

I still don't want him.

I don't covet him, but if he's there and we take him, I won't be too upset.

Why does Rusch (t-r-a-i-t-s) get autocorrected to Rusch?

I thought you just had your mind and fingers going in two different directions :lol: That's weird.

I'm surprised SD didn't take a WR.

 

And they might have.

 

Huh? SD despartely needs CB help. Cromartie probably has the highest ceiling but is a risk. Good pick.

The guys on ESPN were saying he could convert to WR later in his career.

Derwood and Truffle love this pick for KC.

 

The two Chiefs fans in my room are pissed because they both wanted Jackson.

Good lord how many people are you with?

Hali wasn't a first round talent. Reminds me of Calvin Pace a couple years ago. Projected as a second round talent, reached by a team desperate for defensive help.

 

He'll be "servicable"
