From GM Denver Native: Jackson provides too much value to pass up in the second round. His versatility and experience will allow him to step up and make an immediate impact for us in 2009. A three year starter in the SEC, Jackson is the best five technique defensive lineman in the draft. He has been characterized as a hard worker and a natural leader, both of which are qualities we value in our personnel selection.
*****
Commish's Thoughts: I too was surprised that Jackson lasted this long, but where I have him rated, this is around where, perhaps, he should be taken. The LSU defense has seen a major overhaul from its gang-tackling days, and it lost the real architect last year, which helps expalin some of the LSU falloff. But even at that, LSU players are anything but locks int eh NFL, particularly on defense where it has traditionally been hard to get a read on individuals within the system. One thing that is for sure about Jackson, is his incredibly ideal size and speed. That age old saying applies in spades here: Buyer Beware!
