I've had this debate with a friend. He swears Jackson was worth the pick, and is now paying dvidends. I tell him he's crazy, that we shouldn't have to wait three seasons before a third overall pick lives up to the billing, which he isn't even really doing now. He's a solid guy, just not a star. He said defensive linemen aren't supposed to be stars, but merely do their job and freee up space for the linebackers and DB's to make plays. I say then why draft a guy that high to do a throw away job, and he says you need a guy that's good at his position to do that job.
And on. And on. And on.
