Looking to replace Dunta Robinson who left via free agency to the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans grabbed CB Kareem Jackson with the 20th pick of the NFL Draft.
STRENGTHS
Jackson possesses tremendous size for a corner and great athleticism. Has been a highly-productive player in a complex college scheme. Is a really instinctive performer against the run and pass. Has the aggressiveness and confidence we love to see in CBs and does a great job in man and zone coverage. Has the ball skills to make big plays.
WEAKNESSES
Durability (past shoulder surgeries) is the main area of concern with Jackson. He can be an inconsistent tackler both in run support when against receivers in the open field. Jackson takes too many chances at times and can be beaten for the big play.
Here is a video of Jackson getting his name called by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
