Dude's a baller, but I just grade players using the ol' eyeball test. How does he project to the NFL, and specifically here in Seattle's scheme?

Kuechly was excellent at navigating the wash in the LOS. Jackson is pretty poor at that. And he's also a gap guesser. He doesn't flow down the LOS and meet the RB in the hole very well. Gets caught out of position regularly.
I'd say he doesn't really have good instincts for playing MLB. Many times he vacates an area just to have a RB run where he was. Doesn't diagnose plays effectively.
He looks like the best athlete on the field. But he doesn't really produce like it. I wouldn't necessarily want to saddle him with the Aaron Curry label, but his on field awareness is highly questionable.
Maybe a third round guy. Physically impressive. Play ... not so much.
