The official 2008 draft discussion thread

Damn! Miami just took my pick.

Never heard of this guy...but hey, it's not hard to make our roster as a DE, we are weak. Hopefully he will surprise some people.

ESPN and NFL.com both don't have any profiles on Jackson, sorry guys.

SI.com - 2008 NFL Draft - Rob Jackson (http://images.cnnsi.com/football/2008/draft/players/57355.html)

Seems like a poor-man's Chris Wilson to me. But check out the projection

Another WR drafted by the Bengals. Just what CJ was complaining about.

Is Darrell Robertson still available???

LOL hopefully that projection was a typo

what about Ali Highsmith is he still available? Would Definitely be a steal if we got him with our last pick

Sporting News Draft Guide says:

Strengths - Never stops hustling and loves the game. Shows good all around skills. Is quick and agile. Gets back into plays even when blocked initially.

Weakness - Lacks elite physical qualities in any are. needs to work on lower body strength to become a solid run stopper. must improve ability to fight off blocks and and learn to read plays better.

Bottom Line - Jackson, a junior college transfer, was a solid pass rusher in the big 12. He is ideally suited to be a back up DE in a 3-4 scheme but must add 15 -20 lbs for the role.

If he was a projected second rounder, than this is the steal of the draft. I don't know if I believe that though.

we have drafted a lot of former juco guys
