If the Falcons run a lot of zone defense this pick makes sense as that is Jackson’s strength.  He is on the small side at 5’11″, 188 pounds and he also is a tad slow at 4.64 in the 40.  Jackson played in 52 games (39 starts) at LSU and he made 142 tackles, broke up 38 passes and he has intecepted 8 passes.  He will likely work in as the nickel or dime back for the Falcons as a rookie and play on a lot of special teams.
