It's cool- I don't care what they call them. What I do care about is Howie blowing the # 3 pick by trading down. He pissed a lot of scouts and the personnel head doing that. This little shi* fist bumping a bad decision.... he is lucky he didn't get punched in the face by Andy Weidl. I like the #1 and $5 picks, but that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech_bonus Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I was just thinking about how demoralizing it's likely going to be watching all these 6'3" and under dline players absolutely getting shoved around by those big a** NFCE OLines. I'm really starting to think that Andy Reid is actually The Martian Manhunter and has been in disguise as Howie this whooole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just list his position as what it is, DE? Personally, I'd stand him up and put him at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I"m not calling the guy a reach because of course he wasn't. For once, I would love to have a dline with 2 EDGES 6'-4--6'-6 270-300lb, to go long with maybe 2 DT in the range of 6-4 290-300 lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here but I did look some highlights of his after the pick, he's too small for DE in the NFL, you want that position to be at least 270.

DeathByEagle Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I grade this pick an C+ This is my lowest grade for the draft. I know the kid has upside and it is a 6th round pick and worth the chance. I didnt know much about him so best I could do is just watch some highlights. Seams to win at the point of attach quick against TEs, but does struggle more against OTs. Not much real competition in his div which made him stand out a bit more. I have to stick with a C+ for now till later to see what this kid can bring at the next level and more elite players.

Lol. A lot of the greatest DE’s in the league today are under 270. More hot turds instead of hot takes from you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of our DEs are between 250 and 260. And I'm sure Jackson can add a little weight now that he's in the NFL (or on a roster as things stand).

Apparently he's a good dude. He won't make the team though. I'm sure of it. Why are you sure of it? They aren't blessed at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he is not making the team. I would entertain making a bet. I'm just saying... This team isn't blessed at DE and we don't know what kind of role Gannon may see this guy playing. I'm not saying he's going to make the roster but this is as good a team as any for him to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, he shouldn't make the team. That is if we had a team with depth and defensive playmakers. On this roster anything can happen.
