I thought it was a poor selection from a pre-draft standpoint (talking about Jackson), but that's a completely separate issue from looking at his development post-draft. I think that's something a lot of people have real trouble with, separating draft discussion (which is essentially meaningless once the picks have been made) from actual NFL performance.

Great post. Where we go wrong is rooting against players when their failure would prove us right about our pre-draft ideas and give us another chip or two or Internet capital (or so we think).
