I just don’t understand picking another slot CB.No offense to the bloke I hope he does well. But @saints4lifeagain tells me this guy is primarily a slot. Can’t wait to hear the thinking behind this.

Just go look at his highlights. It's pretty easy to see where he played. Majority of his snaps come from the slot/rover role. 

Jackson is pretty raw. Like I said, he came as an athlete, without a true position. He couldn't play offense because he's got hands of stone. Seriously. I don't even know if he has hands. It might just be nubs lol. But if he can work on his technique, he's athletic enough to be a good slot corner. I think he's too small to play outside.

That is why I liked Oliver so much. He is athletic and crazy long to play big. We are being built to beat the Saints who owed us and the division. You remember when Hurney got Davis to stop Vick. He just got Jackson to stop Ginn.

Not just Ginn...  Ridley, Desean Jackson, Ginn and etc.  bradberry struggles against speed and quickness

He can catch up if he is beat in press  , you know the key to speed.

For some of you, all of a sudden size matters...

girth

[PhillyB]

5'11 is not that short for a corner and his weight won't be as much of an issue in a zone scheme

Between Carlton Davis, Isaiah Oliver and Donte Jackson, Jackson was my favorite, (as I stated a few picks before ours in round two). I love his anticipation and aggression. Pound for pound, I don't think there is a better cornerback. The rub is that there is not too many of those pounds!

 

I never expected we would draft him because of his size. I just figured I didn't know anything about player talent. Hopefully, he is like dynamite in a small package.

I was waiting for everyone to lose there  and the huddle never disappoints.

I saw 2 picks in that highlight package.. Knocking down the ball is okay but catching it is better...

He can't catch a cold standing naked on the beach in Alaska. For real lol. 4 career INTs. Dudes got bricks for hands lol.

I wish our dbs could have knocked down some balls last season.

Thank you I see that.. that's why they said questionable ball skills.. meaning he can't catch the ball.
