watching his workout at the combine, he didn't look like he was doing to good at backpedaling then changing direction at full speed. he looked like he would play better with the play in front of him.


i'd much rather have rogers, rolle, or jones.

Jackson did fine against real live competition.

I really think to much emphasis is placed on the combine.

I think, and this may be a red flag, without that man to cover, he loses focus.

That might explain his poor performance as a FS in his junior year, and his combine performance.

So would drafting the best player still be a good idea if he was a SS? I mean, we could, like move him to CB like we did with Dale Carter...IT'LL WORK!!!

Seriously, though, go with what you neeeeeed.

i still would only take him if derrick johnson, antrel rolle, carlos rogers, pacman jones, justin miller, and corey webster are gone.

According to scouting reports on Webster, he's pretty raw, and would take some time to develop into an NFL CB.

I'm of the belief that Carlos Rogers in the best CB in the draft. He's certainly on par with Rolle and Jones IMO. If he's there...he's as good as gone.

Might not be all that bad if Thomas Davis from Georgia was the pick. He played safety for Georgia, but also some OLB. He is projected right in the area we pick, and is listed for both spots, S and OLB. Remember another safety who moved to LB not long back who does pretty well? Here is a hint. He plays MLB for the Bears.

Yes...Davis could be the choice there too...but with Sammy Knight on board...we don't need a coinverted safety...we need a LB/DE...
as in Merriman...who could also be our pick.

Just say no to Tweeners like Merriman!

this goes straight to the argument...draft the best player available vs. what we need. Merriman is rated among the top 12 in the draft...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't have anything against Merriman. Have not seen him play so I can not comment at all. I have seen Davis play, and I like him a whole bunch. Safety or OLB would be fine with me.

Sign Law (if he becomes healthy) to go with Warfield at the corners. Knight and Davis at the Safety positions, and I think our secondary would be second to none.

With the #15 pick, there will probably be 2 or 3 players that you could argue are the best player on the board.

If the choice is between a player who has one clear established position, and a Tweener, then I'm going to pick option A every time.

You gotta pick A in the NFL, the competition's too good to be putting in Eric Crouch.

When all is said and done...I really believe we'll pick Carlos Rogers anyways... :thumb:
