I'm excited to see which of the players drafted late will have the most impact. I'm sorry if this has been posted before. Mods feel free to either close or move the poll.

Probably Brown or Frazier.

I'd say Coe as far as need goes, especially with Gregory and Lawrence suspended, but it'll probably be someone whose main contribution is on special teams. Brown as the fourth or fifth corner or Frazier as the fourth or fifth safety stand the best chance from that standpoint.

Gimme..love your thoughts. I really like Jackson. I just see him getting a few touches and keeping the chains moving, but your thoughts are better.

I just wonder if the opportunities are better on offense, defense or special teams. We need better punt returners, kick off returners and another "Bill Bates" or "Shark" types...JMO

I don't see Jackson getting on the field much, and he might not even dress if we keep four backs. I think McFadden or Morris will be the primary backup and Jackson will have to show something on special teams to be taken to games. Of course, Jackson could make one of them expendable and go as the third back, but I still don't believe he'll get very many touches. We're not going to take Elliott off the field much, and when we do, we'll probably lean on the veteran relief.

All great points...I do think Jackson will still get some run...and may even be a kick off returner. He has the speed.

I don't know that we need a better punt and kickoff returner. Lucky Whitehead seemed to be settling in at those spots. However, if someone proves to be better,. more power to them.

Not sure Dallas will take a player strictly as a kickoff returner the way the rules are set up now. He'll have to have more game-day value than that.

Not even sure Jackson can return kicks. Did he do it in college?

I think its Frazier. He has a chance(minimal) to take over as starter strong safety by the end of year if everything goes right for him. You can thank that to how trash Wilcox is and Church losing his already limited athleticism. Brown would be my 2nd choice. He is a gunner on special teams and he supposedly showed enough all around talent(on tape) to maybe see the field in dime packages towards the end of the season. Jackson and Gathers headed for PS. I'm just hoping Coe and Chris Brown make it past the 1st week of cuts during pre season.

I don't think Jackson gets on to the PS. He may show the league too much with the speed and production...but you never know. I agree with everything else RandyOh.

actually they all look very interesting, but we thought that last year also.
but our track record is pretty good.
frazier probably has the most opportunity with both SS contracts ending this year.

you may be right about Jackson. If anything he takes Dunbar's spot as the 4th string and we roll with 4 RB's and no FB this year. Still dont Expect him to see the field much if at all his rookie year.

If he shows up they will make room. Even if it's trading/cutting McFadden. That would also save them a little cash.
