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.

Interesting....I have seen a couple of mocks where he was taken in the first round...once by the Chiefs and once by another team. Several others he was taken early in the 2nd round....
FTR...I am in favor of Harmon or Nolen but not sure they make it to 31st....Egbuka or Burden will both be gone and I have seen mocks where Scourtin has fallen as far as mid 2nd ...heck today I saw one mock where Jay Gruden had Andy picking TreyVeon Henderson with the 31st pick. Still too many mocks having us taking Josh Simmons.
We will probably all he surprised when Veach trades down and picks someone we all haven't talked about ad nauseum.
