I don't think many would flinch in the drafturbator community either. He's tied for 17th in Zeurlein's scoring (17-23 all carry a 6.40 grade), he's 34th on Brugler's board, and carries a top-45 grade almost everywhere I've checked.
I know it takes away from my theory that some of our other youth needs to see the field, but if I look at 2026 instead of the immediate, you could have LG Jackson, RG Suamataia, and RT Morris all on the field.
Foods for thought.

Jackson has been on my list for the back of the 2nd with the hope that he slides a bit since he's so closely aligned with a lot of similar style of players.
It wouldn't take much for him to end up being the 2nd best guy on a lot of draft boards when the pick comes up through the middle 2nd. That's how slides happen.
I wouldn't consider it a given, but I think there's a coinflip chance it happens and yeah, I'd be real happy to have him at that point.
But I don't have him on the board in 1. Would end up going DL or CB instead.
