Looks like the Falcons and Bucs will still be abusing us through the air .

And this franchise still doesnt give a poo about drafting a saftey high. Continuing to make bad choices in the secondary well after  Norman is gone. 

We''ll sign a safety in free agency--this pick was OK.

I don't know what you are seeing but Jackson was a great pick. He is 5'10" but he is long so he plays bigger. He is blazing fast but athletic as well. He not only shut down quick shifty guys in the slot but his natural position is outside when he shut down bigger  and  smaller guys  with great recovery speed and athleticism competing for the ball.

Not gonna complain, but my initial reaction is WTF?  In a division with Evans, Michael Thomas' bird face ass, and Julio, and we draft another 5'10" (178 lbs too, yikes) CB with "not great cover skills" according to NFLN?

I really thought Oliver was the best fit left for what we do with zone, physicality, and bump and run.  We already have Captain, Seymour, and Corn as smallish DBs, so I dont really get it.

Checked arm length...

Jackson - 29 1/2

Oliver - 33 1/2

Apparently people that see him play, say he’s 1st round talent and the knock is his weight.  He’s an outside corner.

Plenty of 5'11s have excelled on the outside.  It helps when you have speed and an attitude that can agitate the opposing receiver.

Furthermore, this guy is not a 5'8/5'9 NB.  He can play NB, can playm outside, and can easily beef up a bit to the 190-200 range and keep the speed.

I actually love this pick.

He can press Julio Jones?

The only thing keeping me from raging is according to NFLN, he had a first round grade so the value was there.  And Hurney did say he wasnt going to reach for need, so that held true...  that being said, his track record on 2nd rounders scare the hell outta me and so does Jackson's frame.

Have you been paying attention? According to these fuggers, there are 112 first rounders.

37 inch vertical.

he puts on??? 5 pounds. still only 183. prob still has that pop. another 5 lbs? still under 190 i bet he starts losing some speed and that vertical. he'll never be a 200 pound #2 CB. hurney reached like he always does in the second

Panthers fans crying over Oliver. Jackson is better than Oliver and Hughes.

The FO is not as stupid as the Huddle portrays them

I wanted Oliver, this guy seems undersized
