Maroney and Jackson in town to meet the media

[R_T26]

listening to Jonathan Kraft yesterday you can tell they like Jackson. The Pats never bring in the a 2nd rounder to meet the press.

Even though he was picked with the 4th pick in the 2nd round, I think the Pats consider Jackson to be, for all intents and purposes, a second 1st round pick.

You can bet that Jackson's agent also feels the same way.

He'll get his slotted value, like everyone else.

That reminds me, though, isn't there something in the new CBA that says non-1st rounders can't sign rookie contracts longer than four years? If so, that's disappointing. We usually lock up our 2nds for five years.

LOL. Let's hope his expectations aren't too unrealistic. I'd hate to see this genius signing marred by a holdout.
