I would like to hear yours or Duncan's take on seeing Donovan Jackson drop to us and Veach selecting him. I think by nature he is a guard but moved out to tackle when Simmons got hurt....is he good enough to take even if we don't play him at tackle?

"Donovan Jackson falls to us" would be like "Skyy Moore falling to us"
It ain't a drop.
He's a mid-late 2nd round talent.
If we take him, we ****ed up and reached for need. Which will be made worse by the fact that there will be guys of equal need who AREN'T reaches available at that spot. Even if it's just Hampton or Henderson (and if those guys are both gone it'll be Grant or Nolen or Harmon or Burden or Ekbuka or Scourton or JT NameINeverSpellRight).
They can't ALL get drafted in the first round. There are 40 guys in a tier above Donovan Jackson. 30 of 'em probably fit our need/scheme as well or better than Jackson. The other 10 are gonna get drafted by SOMEBODY before we go. And there are another 20 guys in the tier WITH Jackson who have more upside and don't need someone presently rostered to fall on their face to play.
We'll have someone there who will be a better selection than Donovan Jackson.
