Packers Select Josh Jackson In 2018 NFL Draft, Round Two
With their second-round pick (45th overall) in the 2018 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers select Josh Jackson, Iowa.
MEASURABLES / COMBINE:
6'1" 192 lbs, 4.56 40yd, 38″ vertical, 123″ broad jump, 18 Bench Reps, 6.86 3-Cone, 4.03 20-yard shuttle
CAREER NOTES:
Last year, in Jackson's only year starting at corner, he defened 27 passes and had seven interceptions. Those numbers propelled him to being named the Big Ten Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back Of The Year. That's a huge leap from 2016 when Jackson made one start and only had 10 tackles.
SCOUTING REPORT:
DRAFTSCOUT.COM: A one-year ball-hawk that was ranked No. 4 out of 206 cornerbacks. He was projected to go in the first round.
CHEESEHEADTV.COM: Not a scouting report, but click the link for a piece posted about Jackson.
COMMENTARY:
Jackson was one the top corners in the draft because of his amazing ball-hawking skills. Don't be scared by his limited sample size. The reason he had limited time in 2016 was because a certain corner named Desmond King stole the show in Iowa City.
Jackson is solid. He's big enough to stick and stay with tight ends and will be force in the run game. The one trouble area with him could be against crafty receivers that give him a double move. Many scouts didn't think he showed enough tape agaisnt top wideouts — which is likely why he fell to the second round.
This pick is outstanding. He is a first round talent and the Packers got major value by getting him in the second round. Another coup for Brian Gutekunst.

Did you feel the same after Randall Rollins? There's a reason Josh Jackson slid. Did you feel this way about our DL when Jerel Worthy was there for us in Round 2? How it looks tonight might be very very different than the way you perceive it in a few months. In my case, I hope that's true, because it looks pretty brutal to me.
I think I preferred Ted making the decisions. All this hope it would be better and this is the start? An oft injured smallish guy and the sliding one year wonder who only looked good because he faced guys who'll be lucky to get camp invites as UDFA's in a few years.

Sorry, Kirk, had to make sure I wasn't reading my post. This is a horrid draft. Why do fans have this crazy idea the best corners are hovering in the end of round one and middle of two.
Ted took king, everyone lauded him. King had two major surgeries on his shoulders and missed big parts of two seasons. Ditto last year,.
Why this team refuses to trade picks, move up and draft at least one blue chip is mind boggling.
NickPerry

Don't forget Kevin King and even Josh Jones. The Packers are building a hell of a nice secondary.
Tom Brunhart
April 27, 2018 at 08:16 pm
Yes yes yes. Absolutely loved this pick. The man not only is he a top talent... but now if you looked at his face during his ESPN post interview: has a BIG, BIG, chip on his shoulder. Reminds me of someone else who had a chip on his shoulder..... barring injuries this is a very exciting backfield. Now... Cinche, Fumagali, and a healthy Bieglel... with ONE outstanding lineman and this team could be “special” ...Enjoy the season.. Go Pack!!!

They became friends throughout the draft process. Jackson loves to study film so foresee good things under the watchful eye of Tramon for these young men. Good job Gute.
NickPerry
April 28, 2018 at 07:18 am
That's one thing I think many people including myself need to keep in mind. Having Tramon Williams there to help teach these kids is huge IMO. Williams got to learn while playing with one of the best ever in Woodson and now is in a position to help King, Alexander, and Jackson get better. THIS was exactly why I liked the signing of Williams so much. Not only can he still play, but having Williams is like having another CB coach who does things right.
PAPackerbacker
April 29, 2018 at 08:48 am
Well said Mr. Perry. I couldn't agree with you more. Tramon Williams can still play, and play well. And his experience will prove to be a huge asset, both to the Packers and the rookie CB's. Go Pack Go

Great value and need at #45. Our Secondary improved considerably over the past 2 days!
dobber
April 27, 2018 at 07:35 pm
I agree on value but, man, I would've liked to have seen a pass-catcher or an edge guy at this point.
The answer to the question of how Gutekunst plans to fix the pass defense is: Mo Wilkerson, good health, and a lot of CBs.
IN EDIT: aaaand Anthony Miller goes to the Bears just a few picks later. Yet another Dobber draft crush...gone.
NickPerry
April 27, 2018 at 07:36 pm
F##K!!!! I LOVE Miller. The Packers need to get another pick or two today using some of those 11 picks they have tomorrow.

I think most people underestimated how REALLY bad the CB play was last year. It was PATHETICALLY bad.
Their best CB was Randall, and he was a locker room cancer, so they had to dump him. That left them with NOBODY!
Tom Brunhart
April 27, 2018 at 10:03 pm
The d backfield was utterly frustrating to watch last year, making, the same mistakes over and over and over and over.... King, Jones, Jackson,Alexander, Williams, as a Corp backfield will frustrate a lot of QBS AND, receivers this year. The laughing of the Keystone Cops ends today!!!!! GO PACKERS!!!

There are simply no Edge guys worth it at the stage of the draft, glad we didnt reach
HankScorpio
April 27, 2018 at 08:35 pm
I think there was pass rushers worth it at 45. Pass catchers, too. Maybe an OL. I certainly think the Packers can use some help at all those spots.
But I'm good with grabbing the value pick in doubling up on CB. It is never the wrong choice to pick the best player, IMO. And I've seen too much of guys like Josh Hawkins and LaDarius Gunter lately.

And of course he went to Chicago too. Really thought Miller had a chance to be to Greg Jennings v2. Now he will go to waste on the Bears and never develop. Rough loss for the pack and for him...
But I love love love what Guy is doing this draft. Both of these Corners have me really excited to see what Pettine can do with them.

Having to fight hard for snaps at CB would be a welcome change. They have been handed out by default too much lately. There is no doubt in my mind that a weak group of CBs is the only reason Randall survived the incident vs Chicago last season.
kevgk
April 27, 2018 at 07:33 pm
Gonna have tons of value in zone packages, where the packers didnt have a good zone guy the last couple years even though dom kept doing zone blitzes. Gonna have a damn good secondary now, and they don't have to pay anybody for years!
jeremyjjbrown
April 27, 2018 at 08:06 pm
Yeah, I guess they will play zone. Pettine has not been a big zone guy, but maybe either he wants to do it some or they think Josh can be coached to play man.
Oppy
April 27, 2018 at 08:36 pm
Alexander is a man cover DB, King can play man as well I think.
I don't know about Jackson, I've read he's more a zone guy, but who knows.
Then there's House who is a press-man specialist, and Tramon Williams is a great man cover corner as well.
I don't see why we can't play as much man cover as we want.
worztik
April 27, 2018 at 08:51 pm

Oppy
April 27, 2018 at 09:28 pm
1) I'm not demanding the Packers do anything, I'm responding to another fellow poster who stated an his opinion that the Packers current CB's aren't suited to play as much man coverage as the new DC usually likes.
2) BG doesn't define the defensive scheme, or call the plays, and I'm not demanding personnel changes... sooo.....
jeremyjjbrown
April 27, 2018 at 11:16 pm
Just to clarify, I think they are all suited for man, except Jackson. So maybe they will throw in some zones. or think that Jackson can be coached up in press man. The 2nd round is a great place to take a chance on a guy with 1st round talent who may be miscast a bit in your scheme.

April 27, 2018 at 07:41 pm
Great value pick.
I said before I like Jackson but just not in the first so this is potentially a steal. You can't have too many good corners.
The remainder of the CB class are going quickly, so it looks like Gute prioritized remaining top CB talent over EDGE and the offense.
It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the day pans out.

John Ramble Kirk
April 27, 2018 at 07:51 pm
Prediction...this pair of CBs will be worse than Randall and Rollins. An Aaron Rodgers rest of his career killing start to this draft. Taking Jackson is on par with taking the "steal" Jerel Worthy as we got so "lucky" he fell. I can't stand Jackson and am still reeling from wasting a 3rd and 6th on Jaire. Secondary as bad as ever and way too many CBs drafted in error in last few years.
You'll see.

John Ramble Kirk
April 27, 2018 at 08:38 pm
Classic. I'm sure it wasn't much different over there after Randall and Rollins. I'm telling you right now that King and Jackson will not be studs for us. Jaire has an outside chance.
This is the fan's right to get all whooped into a frenzy. My all time favorite is when the VIkings drafted Troy Williamson and Erasmus James. That draft was rated an "A" by a consensus of draftniks. 3 years later it was regraded as an "F".
I'm upset about the Alexander pick just because he's still Jaire Alexander regardless of how he got to us...and Josh Jackson was one of those players that everyone but the Packers seemed to realize isn't going to be a great NFL CB. His selection reminds very much of Jerel Worthy. The celebrating that night ... and see how that turned out? Few want to consider the other potentialities...it's all HOF'ers on draft night. I honestly and truly think this draft has been certifiably awful. The only good thing is next year's 1st. Sadly, Brian will still be the one making the picks so I'm not sure I should be too excited about even that.

Let this waft your way, Worzy...
Here's my issue. Rationalism doesn't work well in an emotionalism based board, but I'll offer it anyway...
If I was starting a franchise and I was told I have the following two options...
A) I can have Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson
or
B) Anthony Miller
I'm 100% full on serious when I say I'm taking option B.
Now, let's factor in NEED and take my rationalism out of the equation...
"The Packers NEED defense...must draft it... absolutely have to have a CB...it's the #1 glaring NEED."
Now, you're presented the same scenario I was but you have allowed the Packers and NEED into the equation. Now, you're emotionally reacting to your NEED not with common sense or what is actually best minus the perception of NEED. Not really that different from a thought standpoint than the junkie who "needs" his fix when what is actually better for him is no fix and a step toward getting clean. The perceived need overrides common sense to that individual's peril. The same premise has repeated itself in Packers drafts at the CB position for several years. Meanwhile, pieces that rational people would be adding to better the team are being bypassed all for chasing that fix of needing to better the D.
You all can run around in emotionalism and say the secondary is now "fixed". Fans do this every single draft. It always amazes me how a draft pick being made equates to an entire D being changed but that is what emotionalism is all about. It's fun just like the junkie's fix is fun.... I think you should recall what taking your fix the last few years in the Packers draft left you with after the buzz wore off.... Don't be surprised if it's even worse now after so many fixes.
I want to be excited about this team...this draft has done a lot in the way of sending me the other direction. All 3 picks just baffle me but I don't live in WE NEED and emotionalism.

Chuck Farley

Its worse, this draft clearly shows the pack are targeting only players who can play multiple positions and passing on stud safeties, edge rushers, job. When you see they could have stood pat and got several blue chip layers and moved back says cheap ball. Don't want no low first we got to save the bucks for rodgers.

John Galt
April 27, 2018 at 08:02 pm
Our success in drafting CB's under Ted was really bad. Safeties pretty good.These two we hope are different. But it is not just the corners who make a defense. Hope we get at least three to four draftees/sleepers/free agents who will play LB and DL.
So far so good especially if Drew Brees breaks his leg in pre-season.
Packer_Fan
April 27, 2018 at 08:03 pm
I always thought that the Pack needed to pick two CB's. King, Alexander and Jackson are the future. And with Willaims, they should be able to field 3 or 4 capable CB's. House is number 5 to me or number 4 if one of the three young ones don't pan out. I see this draft as significantly different than 2016 with Randall and Rollins. Randall was really a safety and Rollins was a newby playing in the MAC conference - playing against not as good talent.
And now, get back into the third round and pick a fast WR for the future. And if Bryant is still available, go after for a one year contract.
Ryan Graham
April 27, 2018 at 08:03 pm

Colin...I honestly believe the Bears pick of Miller is better than both our picks combined and Miller was taken AFTER both of our picks. This sick need obsession is going to continue killing this team. Losing out on better players because of "need" drafting...It's exactly what Ted did and Brian is following suit. I would all but guarantee the exact same results if not for Pettine instead of Capers. I would guarantee that this pair of CB's would've busted under Dom.
I'm literally sick over this draft but I've gotten used to that. The Bears, meanwhile, have KILLED it this draft. That team has some interesting coaches and now some more horses. If Trubisky can play they've already passed us and few realize it.

Mayock's top 100 had Alexander @12 overall, Josh Jackson @44, and Anthony Miller @ 50.
SI top 100: Alexander # 37, Jackson @ 13, Miller @ #96
PFF top 100: Alexander @ #40, JAckson @ #10, Miller @ #58
Draftek Top 100: Alexander @ # 34, Jackson @ #21, Miller @ # 86

Average slotting: Alexander 31.2, Jackson 21, Anthony Miller 71.5
I'm not saying you're wrong- nobody will know until a few years out.. but it looks unanimous across top 100 boards that both Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson were each considered higher talent picks than Anthony Miller.. by a good margin.

Oppy

to be fair, what I'm presenting isn't facts that Alexander and Jackson are more talented than Miller.
Only that the fact is, most of the higher-profile / reputable draft top 100 boards believed that Alexander and Jackson are more talented prospects than Miller.
It's only a counterpoint to weigh against John Kirk's own personal assessment that Miller is a better pick than both the Packers picks combined.
Oppy

I don't usually find Mayock's drafts prognostication to be all that impressive, but it just occurred to me that he was pretty darn close with Alexander, Jackson, and Miller. Lol.

For every big play these guys make in the upcoming season, I'll be here to remind you of this series of negative posts by you.
What CB did you like - besides Ward? Alexander is just about is good.
They'll be fine - quit being such a pessimist.
Colin_C
April 28, 2018 at 12:23 am
You know I love Miller as much as anyone here (probably a lot more), but I would have taken Jackson over Miller as well. Both players were excellent in college, but in my book: stud CB> stud WR
You can't honestly say we lost out on a "better" player until 2-3 years from now. You may very well be right, but God only knows. We'll just have to wait and see. I for one, am quite optimistic about Jackson.

U talk about rationalizing CB need and that effects people justifying these picks. But did u ever consider that your love for miller as player has u rationalizing. U could do this with about any pick made.

Both have privilege to have generational HOF caliber QB.
NE’s Brady has 8 Superbowls appearances! Eight!! GB’s Rodgers has just one lonely appearance. Why?
Truth hurts. The difference is that Packers administrators & coaches are lame incompetent cucks. They have created this organisation atmosphere where getting into playoffs with the generational HOF QB is good enough. Status quo. They never learn from their mistakes. They have been so predictable for so long. The great BB is a light years ahead in FA, draft and coaching strategies. He challenges and evolves constantly.
Most of the Packers fans seems to be lambs and cucks.
They don’t demand more.
They are afraid of change.
They are not short of excuses.
This status quo is all they deserve.
Downvote if you hurt your cuck feelings.
Upvote if you demand more from this organisation.
Fuck this lame organisation with its incompetent leadership. You have had your chances, but you have kept ignoring to support Rodgers with the 1st round picks. I’m now Aaron Rodgers fan. Get ready to be mediocre team after HOF ARod is gone.
If you don’t challenge yourself more, you don’t get more. History will remember HOF QB Rodgers Packers years as a wasted opportunity. Truth hurts.

Hey, a Snickers might do him some good but ..... the problem still exists. We have had maybe the best QB (ever) in the NFL and we have little to show for it except 1 SB Title that basically was stolen by an all-world QB 8 years ago.
If you're content with the state of the Pack the last 7 years, then you must be easy. I'm hoping MM is gone after 2018 and Gute has some magic to salvage AR's career.

I get it, I do. I thought they would take a WR in round 2. So either they are happy rolling with Adams, Cobb?? Or they felt others were a reach. I'm not sure, but I thought they would address it. Maybe they still can. IDK. I felt they needed a deep WR besides Just having Graham at TE because he is not a guarantee

This is such a canard. Who says anyone is content?
Perhaps some of us understand it’s flat out difficult to assemble a perennial SB team even with a generational player at the helm. The Seahawks had a generational defense ascend and blow up over the past 7 years. They have only one SB win too.
Atlanta had a prolific offense two years ago.
SB wins: 0
Denver SB wins with their great defense: 1
Some day we’ll appreciate the difficulty of being a perennial playoff team. Taking the next step is even harder.

I think TT has probably done a great deal of good for this year's draft.
But I didn't know we were in the habit of talking about the work of the senior scouting advisor around here.
I love TT, and I think the Packers have had a great run during the TT-MM Era.
135-90
6 NFC North Titles
9 Playoff appearances
4 NFC Championship appearances.
1 SB Victory
Would I like to see more wins, NFC north titles, Playoff wins, and SB titles? Yeah, everyone would.
Do I think the last 13 years were a failure because the Packers didn't win multiple SBs? No, It's hard as hell to win SB's. The Packers have really only been out-done overall by the Pats over the last 13 years, and they are a complete anomaly.

You need to set your expectations a bit higher. A 3rd HOF QB (from the 21st century) will NOT be playing in GB any time soon.
Oppy
April 27, 2018 at 10:45 pm
Clearly, you have set your expectations higher. Yet, we both somehow have to cope with the same reality of, to this point, only 1 Superbowl victory. Maybe the problem is you need to work on setting your expectations even higher. Maybe you're not believing it hard enough. Try that. Let me know how it works out.

I get some of the frustration at the stale approach the last few years but to say its a lame organization that only cares about making it to the playoffs isn't accurate. They have 8 strait playoff appearances, 3 NFC championship game appearances and a Super Bowl title. This is not an embarrassment.

I'm taking a very cautious approach to the draft any more. I've learned to not get too excited that somehow the defense, secondary or whatever has been miraculously fixed overnight with the draft. Doesn't usually work that way as we have seen from the last 5 years or so. No way Gute is gonna plug all the holes on this roster with a dozen or so draft picks. Let's just hope the secondary is improved to the point where we are not throwing MORE draft picks at it again next year. I'll puke.

"This guy is a zone corner, not man to man." No corner is really either yet because they are rookies. The reason why these idiots call Jackson a "zone guy" is becuase Iowa PLAYS lots if zone mostly cover 3. A guy with length can learn press man, its essentially technique,

Bure, I agree to the extent that just because Jackson hasn't been asked to play a lot of press man doesn't mean he can't.
However, every player does have different strengths and weaknesses and some definitely have more aptitude playing different techniques.
But, for sure, just because someone hasn't been asked to do something, doesn't mean they can't.

Oh be still my heart....please tell me Oren Burks is getting used at ILB. A Packer ILB that can run under 4.6 is something I've been begging for. For a very long time.
Yeah, they need pass rushers. And pass catches. And OL. I want them to add in all those areas, too.
But they need speed at LB just as much.

April 27, 2018 at 10:00 pm
good solid pickup here! Coupled with Alexander from yesterday, they have really solidified the defensive backfield or atleast the cornerback part of it!
Too bad they couldn't have drafted the elite stud potential multiple probowler Rodney Harrison instead of trading their first pick tomorrow and a 5th for a solid but by no means exceptional iinebacker! once again, another frustrating blown opportunity there!!
Bure9620
April 27, 2018 at 10:21 pm
I underdstand the infatuation with Burks and why BG likes him, I get it, Iike the athleticsm, hes smart, but I find it hard to believe he was BPA. If it turns out he cannot cover TEs, is he really a 3rd rounder? Seems more of a project, 5th or 6th maybe. We traded up? Gurantee he would have been there tomorrow. I'll take a wait and see on him. He smells of combine practice hero to me.
Since'61
April 27, 2018 at 10:36 pm
Who knows how these picks will work out but we can start King and Jackson on the boundary with Alexander in the slot. Back them up with Williams, House and Rollins, maybe Brown and Pipkin as well. If we stay healthy this secondary is looking pretty good, especially if we get a decent pass rush.
Pettine will have plenty of fresh young legs to work with. He has 3 potential starters with these picks who can change the entire feel of this defense. Time to add some OL and WRs. Thanks, Since '61
