5. OG Jonah Jackson, Ohio State
Arguably the third-best offensive guard prospect, Ohio State’s Jonah Jackson, a four-year starter, is a versatile offensive lineman with experience at left guard, right tackle and left tackle. There are some that had Jackson pegged as a first-round pick, which should be encouraging for the Bears if they decide to take use a Day 2 pick on him.
According to NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, Jackson is a “guard/center prospect whose run-blocking and pass protection tape are polar opposites. He’s not a natural bender and the hand placement is rough, making sustaining blocks a challenge. However, the narrow base as a drive blocker turns into a wide, balanced base in pass sets. He’s a terrific processor of twists and blitzes who expedites his process and finds his work. If a team can improve the hands and body control they might have something, but he’s more likely a backup option for teams targeting pass protection inside at guard or center.”
