bradjock Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Pick #112: Eddie Jackson, S, Alabama Our last pick is in the 5th round. We now only have two picks left. And he's coming off a bad injury. So like everyone else we've drafted, he should be ready to start in 2018. Did we really have to trade up to get him?

killakrzydav Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 He was pretty awesome a few years back and if I recall correctly he doubles as a special teamer. His injury was probably mid season so should be ready for training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Finally, an Alabama defender!!! And a little more reading up on him, prior to his injury (fractured leg) against Texas A&M last year, he had 7 INTs (two for TDs) and many speculated as the "top cover safety" coming out of college. What's more Saban described him as a team leader and was the one responsible for getting the defensive secondary lined up. All this sounds great! Finally a drafted player I'm excited about!!!

I was going to bring up the same things. I follow the draft as early as possible and he was a first round mention early on. His traits reminded me of what Jamal Adams had. I know ppl are upset over it bc they drafted an injured player but i think he can eventually be big part of the defense down the road.

Little bummed to see the injury report which also included an ACL injury two years ago. But at least he wasn't a 1st round choice with that history. Looking forward to his contributions.

A great pick because he could end up as one of the top 3 Ss drafted this year. I know it has big questions but this is where you take risks.
