CB Michael Jackson leaning towards entering the draft
Comments (267)
I would love to. I'm taking the agent certification test late July so hopefully I'll be able to for the next wave of guys next season. As previously mentioned we don't know each guy's personal situation and we're quick to cast judgement on which way they're leaning. I know some players have a close knit family that advises them and others are pretty much on their own and I'd like to at least be able to explain the financials and opportunity cost of each possible route they could take.
This needs to be bookmarked under the "bold predictions" category.
If Dean turns into the best corner on the team next year you will deserve a standing ovation.
Because, so far, the kid hasn't shown anything to suggest that he even belongs on the field in comparison to Bandy and others.
Not surprisingly the loud and uninformed Happy Adjusters have entered this thread, accompanied by the typical ignorant blather that Tabor would have been cut in the second week of training camp if he had been a 6th round pick.
What happened to that other genius, anyway, the one who saved me plenty of time by emphasizing in his sig that third down screens are such a stupid choice?
You always need the maiden claiming types to stick around, for amusement purposes.
NFL draft picks are not cut. Not in this era with only 7 rounds and salary cap ramifications everywhere, necessitating lower salaries to fill out special teams and the roster in general. If you want to hype a draft pick being cut then it's just another example of conventional wisdom low percentage outlier trivia that so often is raised as somehow meaningful around here. If a team invests a draft pick on you, the reality is you receive a full opportunity and tons of benefit of a doubt.
This is the breakdown from 2016. Less than 1 draft pick per team was cut before the opening day roster was set. The second link includes a graph from the same season, identifying players from each spot in the draft and their status to begin the season. Only 22 draft picks had been cut. If you are drafted in the 5th round or earlier it's severely unlikely the team will get rid of you quickly. The specific breakdown was 1 player cut from Round 4, 3 players from Round 5, 11 from Round 6, and 7 from Round 7.
2016 NFL draft picks who didn’t make the cut – ProFootballTalk
"The vast majority of drafted players make their teams’ 53-man rosters, and most of those who don’t end up on injured reserve. Only a select few are disappointing enough in training camp and the preseason to get cut."

Hope he stays, but far be it for me to judge a man’s decisions without having walked a mile in his shoes.

The fans, ones like you..are even worse.
He should probably come back but it's whatever.

Michael Jackson is NFL ready that's a given u fckn clowns. He has the measurables his draft stock will be based on his combine numbers. 1st - 4th round potential.
Let's be completely honest:
This player has no business entering the NFL draft. However, since his name is Michael Jackson from the Miami Hurricanes and he looks like a mannequin he's now a sure thing.

The tried....Clemson ran the ball 41 times which is 7 more times than they passed the ball. They tried to run the ball but couldn't..our 2 guys inside handled that.
Speaking on stacking the box..man I think Shaq is so overrated.
Agree on Shaq. He is just plain bad when he has to evade lineman.
Hoping that will improve his last two years.
He also needs to be more physical at the point of attack. Dudes bounced off of him a lot this year.
He’s not horrible....just has a ways to go before he matches the hype.

Based on what? Or is this just your uneducated opinion
What was their breakdown of Pass vs Run in the first half?
My sentiments EXACTLY! I mean exactly!
and he doesn't make enough plays in the phone booth for my liking. I'm guessing you are like me and we both rewatch games and focus on a certain player. I can't help it..it's the coach in me.
Well said though!

Suck my ****
Shaq lost weight and became less effective.
Pinckney gained weight and became slightly less effective but continued making plays.
McCloud was pretty much a disaster this season.
How did this become about linebackers?

That's a bit of a hot take and a little bit of a strong way of putting things stylistically.
Here's what I will say about The Glove: I'm not sure that his draft stock isn't as high as it possibly could be right now. Sure, if he comes back for another season and has an absolutely stellar year with 5-6 picks, again has one of the lowest QBR's Against in the country, stays healthy all year, etc, etc, theoretically, he could improve his draft position significantly. The chance for something to go wrong, whether it be injury, or opponents figuring out how to expose him, etc, etc, leaves just as big a downside for him.
I'd love to see him come back, perform at a high level for us, and be a guaranteed 1st or 2nd round pick next year. But I can certainly see the merit in any choice he makes, especially for a guy who 6 months ago had seen most of his career wasted by NoD and Gorlden and now suddenly wakes up in the morning with a chance to get drafted and play on Sundays 8-9 months from now. There is no right or wrong answer here. I wish him the best in making the right decision and in his future endeavors.
Whatever decision he makes, his success is proof positive that this coaching staff can help players that come to Miami make the most of their opportunities and improve their career prospects. We on the way, in no small part thanks to the King of Pop's efforts on and off the field in the past 12 months.
You do you, Mike.
If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, then make that change.

It's easy for me to say now, but it would be interesting to play that game again without Bandy getting hurt. That was a dagger the moment it happened. Not an excuse, and obviously not the reason we lost, just a fact and an observation. I think the game would have been more respectable with him in it.
