Chris and I de-briefed this morning about Houston cornerback William Jackson III. We both think he fits the cornerback mold of what Keith Butler wants and would be thrilled with him at number 25. As is the case this time of year, some anonymous GM’s are reportedly saying they don’t have him graded very high and it has to do with scheme. This is very normal in the weeks leading up to the draft.
ICYMI Here’s Chris’ latest draft profile. It’s on Darian Thompson of Boise State.
Tweet of the Day… And here I said he would be fired right after the playoff loss.

I think Lewis is a good man and a good coach but it has become clear to me he can’t control his players to the point where when the chips are down they can come through. I’m very surprised he’s back after the problems in the playoff game as well as the string of losses.
I’m over this Vontaze Burfict – DeAngleo Williams Twitter feud. Enough already.
NYJ tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson is retiring. He played 10 seasons and NEVER missed a snap. I tip my hat to him. Incredible.
