Chad Jackson was a Zook product.

Cunningham is someone who flew under the radar to me, but it's a solid selection. He'll do good with us as an OLB. He can set the edge and rush the passer. Now all we need is for Crable to stay healthy.
Thanks for bringing some levity to Day 2 of the draft.
The more I see of him, the more I like him. If he's 266, wow, he moves like he's 230. No chest thumping bullcrap, he makes the play and doesn't over pursue.
He moves like a linebacker already IMO and can obviously add serious strength if he's really carrying 266 now, which I almost question because he is tight.
Needs a tight number, absolutely. Who was the tight number guy, remember him?
Seriously, I think I'm in love, in a manly football fan way.
He's quick as hell, but doesn't exhibit bull rush potential, but 266 without an ounce of fat? get him in the weight room.
EDIT: I'm also seeing him listed at 252, so maybe that corresponds with his highlights, but this guy looks agile and disciplined. I think BB pwned the pundits on this one.
Of the 5 players picked, I'm least sold on Cunningham. Maybe we've been watching different tapes. The ones I'm seeing, he isn't especially strong, isn't good at sealing the outside, doesn't have great pass rush moves, basically is a JAG on the field. I LOVE the other 4 picked though, especially Spikes.
I feel the same way. However our resident Gator fans seem to think he's a solid pick. I'll give them and BB and Co. the benefit of the doubt. Here's hoping to him being a great player for us.

That's my feelings in a nutshell. I'm not enamored, but the folks here who have seen Cunningham the most like him the most. So I'm suppressing my Jeremy Mincey flashbacks and hoping for the best.
I still want Ricky Sapp or whoever from Round 4. We need two bites at the pass rusher apple.
