I tried to look back and see if this has already been posted, but I do apologize if this has already been talked about in depth.

I think this needs to be our next move. 

6'1" 198lbs - 25 years old

2nd round tender placed by NE and after their spending spree, as well as having Gilmore/Mills there already, I think we can swoop in and scoop our CB1.

Yes, it would cost us a 2nd...a high 2nd, but the final piece that is truly missing on this insanely athletic, young defense would be acquired in this scenario. I have personally hoped that any QB trade (DW or moving up in the draft) would not include our 2nd rounder this year, so this would allow us to get Jackson. 

I was sleeping on this kid big time. He has faced a ton of action since Gilmore is NE's Revis/PP shut down guy. His story is littered with having to hustle and prove himself....and he has. 

A friend of mine is a diehard NE fan....not the a$$hole kind that thinks Brady is God, but a very grounded and intelligent, analytical fan that I've had countless conversations about football with. He told me, "I'd argue Jackson is the best CB in the league that nobody is talking about. After the first year that I saw him, I wanted NE to give him a long-term deal to lock him down for the next decade. First two years, had one of the lowest passer ratings against him. His third year (last year) 2nd in the league in INTs."

Jackson came out of Maryland the same year DJ did, so I wonder if Moore and him are in contact. Maybe DJ can get in Snow/Rhule/Fitterer's ear and make this happen. 

 Let's do this!!

You're not just going to have to give up a 2nd rounder, you're also going to have to offer a contract that NE (a team with a LOT more cap room than we have) won't be willing to match. Just saying.

Oh, for sure we'll have to pay. I just didn't think it would be anywhere near what the top CBs are getting. I also am of the opinion that we have more space now after all of the Pats' signings to make this happen. 

I was glazing over Spotrac's page and looked like we have 15M more currently. Not sure how updated it is, or perhaps I'm reading it wrong.

Yeah, they've definitely been spending like drunken sailors. Not sure where they currently sit.

How much more cap room could the Patriots possibly have? They've signed an entire new team.

Y’all forget they gave very little money dedicated to QBs where most teams that’s a 3rd of their cap. They got plenty of money still.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
