Chad Jackson is a very good WR.

I just hope we go defense.

I agree. However, I also felt this way when Larry Johnson's name was called, and while our defense still to this day needs playmakers, I'm certainly happy with that pick now.

We've gotten by with Kennison and [blah] for a while now, but that is not gonna cut it anymore. We do need a prospect very very soon, and I mean more than Sammie Parker, Cro Thorpe, et al.

I think Parker can be a starting WR in this league.

Hmm. I said Chad Jackson would be a very good value at 20 on another thread.

When did you start talking 3rd person?


I'd like to see him stay healthy though. (samie, not you) (well, you can stay healthy too, but I meant samie)

:clap:
Nicely done!

He's probably one of the more "ready" WR in the draft. He's got it all - size, speed, hands. He'd be a superb pick at #20.

I'd just as soon see us take defense, but Jackson would be a solid pick.

ROFL

He definitely runs good routes and catches everything thrown his way. I think we should address the defense first, but Jackson is a quality WR.

Yep, we're definitely on the same page...
