Pretty funny what Cohn had to say about Jackson in comparison to Inman:
Cohn - "Matched up multiple times with offensive tackle Sam Schlueter during 11 on 11s and never beat him. Each rep, Jackson struggled to disengage and turn the corner, as opposed to Turay, who was in the backfield all morning. I expected to see Jackson beat Schlueter at least once considering Schlueter probably won't make the team. Too soon to panic about Jackson, though. We'll see if he improves as the offseason progresses, as he's extemely young."
Inman - "Defensive end Drake Jackson, sidelined last week by a leg issue, looked exceptional in pass-rushing drills with the defense, and a dip move he made drew applause from Bosa and others."
Technically those two reports aren't contradictory as one is talking about 11 on 11s and the other is talking about pash-rush drills. That said, take every report with a grain of salt, because each reporter can only look at one thing at a time so they're going to miss a lot.
That's why the players can't stand Grant.
I actually kind of like his format but I hate his method of how he puts players on good/bad lists. Sure he adds how Drake is young and it's not time to panic but he's clearly pushing the narrative in his article that Drake was bad in his view. Which is fine if everyone else agrees but clearly there was a very different view during the same practice.
So maybe don't put the kid in good or bad? Grant puts too much weight behind certain things in practice. You can find players on his "bad" list who other reporters said had a great day of practice and the coaches spoke highly of the same day. All because of one play or something minor.
