    Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

    "He has been climbing draft boards due to his incredible man coverage skills. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder always keeps his feet underneath him and has great balance, and scouts love his anticipation skills, which were on display in Week 6 versus Mississippi. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jevan Snead dropped back to pass and tried to complete a slant to WR Shay Hodge, but Jackson stepped in front and intercepted the pass at the 5-yard line. Then Jackson showed great short-area burst and returned it 79 yards; he eventually was dragged down at the Rebels' 16-yard line. Jackson also has an uncanny ability to mirror receivers in coverage, and if he runs the 40 in less than 4.5 seconds at the combine, he will solidify himself as a first-round pick."

    Hey guys I was just reading this article on this guy and they were saying that with a solid combine he would solidify himself as a first round pick. The article said he had great man to man coverage skills and thats something that we need in this defense for our cornerbacks.

    I've never been someone who followed college football that much and wanted to know what you guys thought of Jackson and whether or not he would be a good pick for us at 29?

    This week's combine is going to make everything a lot more clear...especially at cornerback.
