I'm a little nervous that he reached for need. I was nervous that he did that last year with Colledge too.

[BallHawk]

Once again, one of the smartest RBs in the draft. TT wants intelligent players.

[MadtownPacker]

I predicted packers would take this guy, but I thought It would be 3rd round.

Thought middle of the third as well

But you likely had Quinn in the top10. :P

Wonder what Joe Thomas was fishing for?

I went out of Port Washington for Salmon - lots available there.

ESPN - Jackson is an instinctive, shifty and tough runner with the size-potential to emerge as a good starter in a zone-blocking scheme.

[Brainerd]

Picks up defensive coverage well and is able to see the small cracks and explode through the holes.

Has enough valid speed to be split wide in passing situations and is quite effective on swing routes.

Can also provide emergency duty as a kickoff returner.

Has a penchant for carrying the ball exposed working his way up field, and while this has not been much of a problem, he needs to protect the ball better.

That worked out in the end, though.

[RashanGary]

Makes quick decisions on the move, showing the field vision to locate soft areas on the field … Consistent in finding the cut-back lanes and changes direction well, showing the quick feet to side-step trash and break into the second level … Picks up defensive coverage well and is able to see the small cracks and explode through the holes … Even when he doesn't have the luxury of open lanes, he is capable of sinking his pads, redirecting and bouncing wide



Sounds like a Zone Back

[Fosco33]

Ahman Green II ?

Hopefully not in terms of injuries and fumbles. This guy had shoulder surgery twice already - durability?

[BallHawk]

Wonder if Tampa takes Bush or Pittman to go along with Cadillac,

[OS PA]

He's going to be a good one. You heard it here first.

[MadtownPacker]

Jackson's biggest weakness is his lack of experience. He will need to improve his bulk and strength in order to hold up as a premier back in the NFL, and he also lacks elite top-end speed. However, Jackson is an instinctive, shifty and tough runner with the size-potential to emerge as a good starter in a zone-blocking scheme. In our opinion, Jackson is one of the more underrated prospects in the 2007 class and he could become a steal from the second-or-third round range of the 2007 draft.

Sounds like a decent pick. Fresh legs and if he gets stronger who knows.

They weren't major injuries. The guy doesn't have a lot of mileage on him, which is a plus.

Yeah......so.....

Yeah. Saw the shoulder operations two years in a row.
