Wow your title is very misleading. Rivera was targeting a different type of player and was nervous that he wouldn't fall to us, not nervous about drafting Jackson.

I read it as Rivera was nervous because Hurney refused to move up to get him and Ron was scared someone else would draft him before our pick.

Most of this board hated this pick and wanted Joshua Jackson and that kid from Colorado.

That'd be me.

Hope Jackson pans out, it's still early but I like what I see so far. He's better than I anticipated and that has a lot to do with the fact that he was a Hurney second rounder and that clouded my judgement. 

Still think he's a little too slight, I've seen him pushed around on some run plays a few times, but not nearly as much as I thought he would be. He's a great and willing tackler and very physical for a guy his size. 

He's still a rookie but so far so good.

That's how the quote reads. The title of this thread makes one think Ron was nervous about Jackson being a different type of player which is not the case at all.

I'll have to rewatch the presser. I interpreted Ron's nervous as hell comments to fearing Donte would be off the board before we picked, thinking Marty should move up and take him, because they had targeted him so heavily and REALLY wanted him.

But I could be wrong.

I misread it. You’re right.

Changed the title for accuracy.

Speak for yourself. I was one of the first to say the kid would be good. 

That's super cool man but also not the point I was making.

A lot of people that critique Ron over every thing he does despite most people in the thread hating the pick.

Now we're brerating him for admitting he was nervous about branching off from his normal and taking a chance when a lot of people here were mad we didn't drart one of those two cornere.

Doesn't apply to you, cool my guy, that wasn't directed at you then.

Turns out this was based off a misread anyway so

The draft is one of those times where people are all over the place. I think a week after most were excited about Jackson. The only person I remember trashing him was that Saints fan.

      I didn't want to pay him and they should have traded him before the 20+ million in dead cap. I feel this is another "blame tepper", he wanted a QB and Panthers only had 4 draft picks. CMC got a bad health report and missed games, but league still valued him and he was the best player on the team. Shitttttterererererererer traded him for 4 future picks, the future 2nd ended up being 61st........so all the other draft picks in 5th 4th were next to last, just a mistake. Yes 49ers at the time looked cook, but CMC helped them reach the SB. Used that 2nd and 3rd in the BY and DJ Johnson trades.....just awful returns. It was dirty to wilks to trade CMC while he was trying to make the playoffs, best I member the run game got better after the trade....   Im just one of those "never pay RB, safety, or MLBs" unless cheap/all world. CMC is not all world, but he's dang close.  Poorly handle, he bought a big home and thought he'd remain a career panther....Herniay made him the 16 million man, tops by 4 full million and no RB passed that mark for 2 years, God dam fug you herniay.  Im anti-RB, but about the last thing they should have done was trade a 1000 1000 threat that wanted to stay here, just total fumble by the Panthers/tepper/herniay/fittterererererererere per normal for this time-line.
