Lets talk Nickel

I'm all for playing him wherever he fits best. Just because we drafted him as a FS doesn't necessarily mean that was the right evaluation. We already have a 3rd round pick invested in him, give him every opportunity to prove that it was a good investment and if that means a move to nickelback, fine.

Makes perfect sense, particularly since the team struggles at the position he's most comfortable playing. Would we be happy using a 3rd on a Nickel in this year's draft? Well that's what the team did last year.

A good nickelback is absolutely worth a 3rd round pick IMO.

Jackson is built for the slot. He is physical and fast and a good tackler. Honestly we need a longer fast corner to compete with the receivers in this division. That is an important need to allow the DLine time to apply pressure. No line can get there if there are several receivers wide open on every play.

Julian Love fits that criteria...

Maybe so, but sure a hell don’t want to go into the season with a rookie at CB

Agreed. I would love a vet corner and a draft pick unless they think Cockrell can do the job. I am never in favor of rookies starting as you always have a learning curve.
