...can't really blame him for going to tOSU, but had we landed Jackson for last year, could have made a significant impact.
From ESPN's Draft Sleepers:
Jonah Jackson, OG, Ohio State
Position ranking: 2
Overall ranking: 40
I get why you wouldn't be high on a guard like Jackson, as his body type and overall athletic profile don't scream "upside." What his tape shows, though, is a broken record in pass protection. And that's a good thing.
He ends more pass-pro reps at the line of scrimmage than any other guard in the draft class. The way he gets his hands to the defensive tackle's strike zone snap after snap is a thing of beauty. At the Senior Bowl, Jackson won 58% of his reps in the one-on-ones despite splitting his time among all three interior positions. Jackson, a graduate transfer who played at Rutgers, also allowed all of 17 pressures on 858 pass-blocking snaps between Ohio State (left guard) and Rutgers (right guard) the past two seasons.
