Want to bet?

No GM is going to waste a 2nd or even a 3rd round pick on a 5-11 175 lbs DB that can't catch and can't tackle. That said, if he learned how to catch, became an INT machine and could return punts I would agree. That ain't gonna happen this year!

Rumor is Toliver will leave. Don't shoot the messenger. I know it is ridiculous.

DJ is going to run a 4.3 at worst at the combine. He'll be gone by the end of round 2 for sure.

Donte is a solid tackler. his height is probably close to average for cb's entering the NFL. Weight can be added.

No. 40 pick: 2nd Round
Chicago Bears: Donte Jackson, CB, LSU
The Bears have a pair of talented young safeties in Adrian Amos and Eddie Jackson. They could use some youth at cornerback, as Prince Amukamara doesn't seem like he's in the long-term plans. He's an impending free agent anyway.

I would do a ban bet with you in a heartbeat. You sound like a little bitch who has no clue what nfl looks to get out of corners. He is 5”11 with long arms and speed for days. Also has been great tackling this season.

Do a ban bet bitch

GMs care a lot less about college statistics than you think they do. They care a lot about raw ability.

In those third/fourth rounds where the lines are blurred between good ball players with mediocre athleticism and underwhelming ball players with great athleticism they can tend to take some chances.

I know it's not the gospel, but Donte Jackson is the highest rated DB in the SEC on PFF. Even though their rankings aren't infallible, Jackson is not terrible like many of our fans seem to believe he is (although in today's world it seems like you're either awesome or awful, there is no middle ground for people). And you don't need to be an INT machine to get drafted in the first few rounds, nor do you need to be 6'1" 220 like Patrick Peterson. Ron Brooks was a 4th round draft pick and wasn't ever even a starter. He was every bit as small as Donte but ran a sub 4.4 forty at the combine at got drafted in the 4th round. It's probably stupid to bet on where someone will be drafted with so many unknowns, but to say there's no way he gets drafted in the first 3 rounds is pretty ignorant IMO.

You said want to bet? So yes I do. And you said a GM wouldn’t waste a third round pick on him. So yes I’ll take that ban bet. Little Nancy
