Love the Joe Jackson pick great value.

Overview
His "bull in a china shop" playing style may not look pretty, but it has created consistent production over the last three seasons.
While his NFL-ready frame and play strength are a big plus, his lack of edge speed, bend and fluidity could cap has NFL rush success. Jackson is a natural 4-3 base end, but he may have the length and frame to handle 3-4 defensive end duties.

Strengths
  • NFL build with broad chest and well defined arms and shoulders
  • Naturally powerful without even trying
  • Quality length to work with when he uses it
  • Tackle-for-loss and sack production like clockwork all three years
  • Holds his ground at point of attack
  • A lot to handle for tackles and too much for tight ends
  • Re-sets hands back into blocker's frame
  • Presses the pocket with brute force as rusher
  • Adequate reactive athleticism to finish once he's in the pocket
  • Sustains his effort throughout the rush
  • Built to last with plus durability

Who is the tall TE, like 6-7, believe he is from Northwestern. Wouldn't mind him being selected.

Sherman was a 5th
Let's hope lightning strikes twice or maybe they'll convert him to safety

Overview
Big, strong cornerback with the dimensions to get excited about, but a lack of cover traits could get him beat unless he finds the right scheme fit. Jackson's length and strength will be appealing for cover-2 teams looking for a banger who can drop and use his size as a deterrent against touch throws. He has some ball skills when he's in the neighborhood, but may not be in the neighborhood often enough to become an NFL starter. Teams could transition him to a safety spot early in his career.
