sportscurmudgeon 03-15-2008, 05:45 PM Darrell Jackson is a gamble.
He has had injuries - - to his legs. Not good for a WR.
He was let go by the Niners who signed Isaac Bruce to take his job. Bruce is way over the hill.
BUT, if Jackson is healthy and it was his health that made him expendable on a truly bad team in SF, then he's worth a shot. But the FO can't invest their ego in this signing. If he comes in and doesn't cut it, then they have to cut him.
BOTTOM LINE: If he'd sign a two year deal - with a TEAM option on year three for sensible money - I'd sign him and give him a shot.

If we sign him, then should we still go after some WR in the draft, or just stay with the unit we have?
sportscurmudgeon 03-15-2008, 05:55 PM If you've signed Jackson, presumably your training staff and medical gurus have told you he is healthy and you should expect him on the field. With that "assessment", I'd say WR in the draft becomes a much lower priority than if they sign no one.

Lets say Jordy Nelson drops to us in the third round, do you pick him or pass?

I say stick with the guys we have. Having six or seven guys that can play reciever is more then enough in my eyes. Plus we still have a big target in Cooley. However considering we haven't heard anything yet then I'll guess that the drafting of Sweed and Thomas in the first or Jordy in the second will become a real possiblity.
skinsnut 03-15-2008, 06:02 PM Whats the knock on this guy besides past injury?
any stuff like route running, drops, toughness, attitude, work ethic?
or just physical things like speed, size, age?

Wow, just imagining Santana Moss, ARE, Limas Sweed, and Jordy Nelson is awesome, we would be such an explosive team throwing the ball.

I don't really think age is a very big problem because 29 isnt too bad, his speed is decent not amazing but decent, but the problem that I had with him was the size issue, whether its that hes 5'11 or 6'0, I still think we need a guy like Limas Sweed who's 6'4.

Grrrrrrrrrr :D To many Receivers.
