Darrell Jackson?

[sportscurmudgeon]

Darrell Jackson is a gamble.

He has had injuries - - to his legs. Not good for a WR.

He was let go by the Niners who signed Isaac Bruce to take his job. Bruce is way over the hill.

BUT, if Jackson is healthy and it was his health that made him expendable on a truly bad team in SF, then he's worth a shot. But the FO can't invest their ego in this signing. If he comes in and doesn't cut it, then they have to cut him.


BOTTOM LINE: If he'd sign a two year deal - with a TEAM option on year three for sensible money - I'd sign him and give him a shot.

If we sign him, then should we still go after some WR in the draft, or just stay with the unit we have?

If you've signed Jackson, presumably your training staff and medical gurus have told you he is healthy and you should expect him on the field. With that "assessment", I'd say WR in the draft becomes a much lower priority than if they sign no one.

Lets say Jordy Nelson drops to us in the third round, do you pick him or pass?

I say stick with the guys we have. Having six or seven guys that can play reciever is more then enough in my eyes. Plus we still have a big target in Cooley. However considering we haven't heard anything yet then I'll guess that the drafting of Sweed and Thomas in the first or Jordy in the second will become a real possiblity.

Wow, just imagining Santana Moss, ARE, Limas Sweed, and Jordy Nelson is awesome, we would be such an explosive team throwing the ball.

Jackson is a pretty good receiver. The only real issue with him has always been injuries. He would definitely add some quality to our WR corps and seeing how he knows the West Coast offence it wouldn't hurt to bring him in. He isn't dirt old yet so he might command a bit more money than a vets minimum. Oh and he runs great routes and has sure hands (except for that awful 2003 season when the entire Hawks WR corps had butter on their fingers).

I give bringing him in two thumbs up. I would certainly take Jackson over D.J. Hackett.
