You’re the draft expert

Floor - Akili SmithJust watched Lamar against Miss St. if we draft him, prepare to be, in equal parts, both exhilarated and terrified in pre-season this year. Some of his passes are horrendous. Some of his runs are impossible.

No flaws?The thing about Jackson, and this is a big deal for the NFL, is that most of his big run plays were designed runs. A lot of these running guys go one read and if the receiver is covered, they pull the ball down and run with it. You can get away with that in college but it's a liability in the pros.
Not Jackson, he would go through his progressions and not panic. His ball pplacement still good on his second or third read. To me, that suggests he won't get himself hurt scrambling around and that he has the mental makeup to be a pro QB in a timing offense like the Patriots'.
