Maybe I should start a poll.

Man o man if he can be Aldon 2.0 👌👍🏈🙏

Aldon 2.0? Those are some high expectations.

Was saying to myself right at the moment, "Pick Drake Jackson, pick Drake Jackson"...and then was very happy to hear the pick was Drake Jackson. One of the few times that's happened for me w/ this regime during the draft. Can see him making almost an immediate impact as a bookend DE w/ Bosa.

EDGE opposite Bosa long term hopefully, only 21, which is crazy.

Even if he's 70% as good as Aldon Smith that would be borderline great. Aldon was on pace to shatter the sack record after 3 years (most sacks ever in his first 3 years) and that's while playing part time as a rookie AND missing 5 games. Son of a b***h I can't talk about this anymore

Same here. Totally depressing to see such a gifted individual basically drink and piss his god given gifts away.

I read early in this thread that he was looking like a top ten draft pick (sorry no link to the poster or the article) then USC did their best to tank Drake's NFL prospects by messing with his weight. I'm hoping (as everybody has stated) Kocurek can do another miracle - this time on a guy with talent and a long term mandatory commitment to the 49ers. If Drake can blossom into 70% of Aldon, man o man, this DLine will be up there with the '84 super bowl 'niners.

Average secondary lol

agree. it is below average. safety play is well below average.. ward is fine. but what else.. we have gaping holes at safety and please have something better than tarrt or some undrafted free agent.. sooner or later the secondary stands on its own and it failed us many times last year.

We did get a steal. Drake already stated that he was going to drop somewhere between 255 and 260, his freshman weight, because that's where he had the most success and wants to be.
