Of course, injuries are always a factor no matter who a team signs or drafts. But Tanard Jackson's talent makes him worth the gamble that he can stay healthy - - and sober.

Presumably, the Skins' braintrust did their due diligence. If they did not, someone's head should roll...

I got a feeling that Jackson (provided he doesn't get high) and Merriweather will be a better tandem than we had last year. I really like what they did here. Jackson is a good player, and I agree he is better than the two we had.

Sadly I do see Doughty gone, but we have depth and talent there now.

They can pass on drafty a S this year and grab a couple UDFA S and stash them on the practice squad while they develop.
