I know one of the NO games (later one, I think), Drew brees AVOIDED jacksons side the entire game. I think he only threw 1 or 2 passes in jacksons direction. They attack weakness, make LB pass cover, etc.. But to me that at least showed me how the saints staff viewed Djack, I was pleasantly surprised. 

Jackson was a menace last year.  Injury stopped a pro-bowl season.

Why did we only see flashes before.  Why didn't we see that level of play for years...experience, scheme, coaching, all of the above?  Its not like he had a better supporting cast last year.

I think it was a combo of many things. I know he showed up 15 lbs heavier(the good kind) last year. Honestly I think RR and his DB coaches were better than Rhules Crew, just one of their strength. Even tho hes not in the NFL, I thought Steve Wilks was top 5 DB coach. Djack just figuring out how to be NFL pro rather than the opposite. I know some think Djack doesnt tackle well, I feel at least hes not scared of the act in tacking a bigger player.  Since day one, he was one of the fastest players in the whole NFL too. I know he keeps in touch with LSU DBs(they call themselves DB U), that has to help lots as well. Heard him talking with the honey badger and they emphasize having a dawg mentally.

He has shown flashes of being a great player. One has to wonder if he simply could stay healthy if he would be considered our franchise CB.

He is one of the best INT producing CB's we have ever fielded.

Can he stay healthy?

That's his biggest knock. He's a wee lad. 

And there are rumors putting him at nickel-they tackle once in a while, and my impression of Jackson is "that ain't his bag."

Had two meh-to-poor years. One good with a nagging injury, it was the most recent. Im not convinced either, but this is a big year for him. If he has a great season, panthers may be forced to use the tag on him. Plus with the rebound in cap space, he could easily get top 5 money on the open market if he has a great year too. The whole NFL is looking for speed and the whole league knows Djack has elite speed.

I think he would need one heck of a season for the tag.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
