Michigan CB Will Johnson Jr. has a knee issue that has concerned some NFL teams and helps explain why he still has not been selected.

so he is definitely on KAM's radar

I know he wants to trade back, but Johnson is good!

At least it gets Brandel out of the lineup.

Jackson started 30 games at left guard and nine games at left tackle at Ohio State. He covers up defenders and gets some push in the run game. Jackson is also quick enough to reach linebackers when he climbs to the second level and can get out in front when he pulls. He is tough to shake when he locks on in pass protection, and he can easily reset if he doesn't win with his hands initially. He fits best at guard, where he is a better pass blocker than he is at tackle, but he moves well enough to compete and provide some depth at tackle. -- Steve Muench

His academic achievements, including Distinguished Scholar honors, demonstrated the same dedication off the field that made him such a force between the white lines.

Thanks for the info.

Trade back would have been nice.

FWIW, Lance Zierlein said Houston wanted Jackson at #25. Made sense to draft a premium LG to play LG. OLine is set.

Now, if Assante Samuel or Jaire Alexander are Vikings by next week, things are looking pretty solid.

I approve. Good pick.

I can see us spending big money to get some high ranked UDFAs on the roster.

This team never learns..

This is gonna be the worst draft since Erasmus and underwood and Williamson. With ponder as the cherry on top of the pileochit.


So. As bad as you thought or worse?

Donovan Jackson to the Vikings just might be my favorite pick of the night.

By the end of this past season, he had put on elite tape at both guard AND left tackle.

An extremely dependable, selfless player. He's tough, rugged and athletic. Excellent football player.

How can you consider Jackson a reach. He was a National Champion, all American, 3 times first team big ten, large and tested extremely well. What is there not to like?
