Dane Jackson to Buffalo

Good for him! I may be a bit biased, but they found a diamond in the rough. Good luck, Dane!
“The Bills got themselves a steal in Dane Jackson,” Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said of the pick, according to John McGonigal of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “He is as good as any cornerback I’ve ever coached. Dane was not only a playmaker for us, but he became an impactful leader as a senior captain. He showed on the field this past season, as well as at the Senior Bowl, that he’s a disruptive corner and a big-time competitor.”

He really was a steal as many had him going in the 5th. Several corners who graded out lower went before him. Maybe it hurt him that he ran a 4.57 but he plays faster and was very productive.
I can see him moving to safety. He’s a pretty physical DB, tough, competitive, not afraid to tackle and he just isn’t fast enough to stay with the outside receivers in the NFL. NFL corners now are athletic freaks for that reason. Jackson had a couple games last season where he absolutely got abused in man coverage on the outside. He can probably add 15-20 pds without hurting his athleticism.
I guess if there was ever any question as to why the team wasn’t very good last year, the fact that we only had one guy drafted, and at #239 to boot, probably answers it. Still, all the best to DJ, I’d say he did pretty well for a 2 star Chryst commit.
Buffalo is going to be a mighty good team for a while if Allen improves his accuracy by even a marginal amount.
