USC OT Austin Jackson
Jeremiah believes Jackson is better than Houston tackle Josh Jones, a player many analysts have grown to like. Jackson is seen by many, as of right now, as a second-round pick. That could change.
“I think Austin Jackson will go ahead of (Jones),” Jeremiah said. “I think he’s a better player, and he’s somebody that as you go through the combine, I think he’s going to test really well and I think you’re going to start hearing his name mentioned in that top 15-type mix.
Jeremiah believes that he is a great fit schematically for the Cleveland Browns, who have the 10th pick in the draft.
“He’s only 20 years old. He’s got great knee bend. He can really move laterally. He’s going to get better. He donated his bone marrow to his
sister over the offseason, so he lost an offseason. Obviously speaks to the
kind of brother he is and his character.
“But the loss of that offseason, he just needs to get physically stronger, but as
a 20-year-old with that type of athletic ability, the upside is really endless. And I think he’s somebody that maybe people are sleeping on a little bit at this point in time.”
