Who you got? Keep in mind King's senior year teams wouldnt even throw the ball his way.
 
I would love to have Jackson in the defensive backfield next year, but I'll have no beef with him if he goes pro.

Jackson. Much better final year at Iowa and better pro prospect and will have a better NFL career. Just more athletic and better size.

Jackson and King are the two best CBs I have ever seen play at Iowa.
 
Depending how many other underclassmen declare... JJ isn't moving up the draft chart too much farther.

Now is the time for him to go. He's a late 1st/early 2nd rounder right now.

If he slips, would love jackson to Chicago in the second... and josey in the 3rd! :)
 
Too bad JJ couldn't have come along just one year sooner. Our defense would have been impossible to pass on with both at CB.
 
Bears don't draft Hawks. When was the last one, Jay Hilgenberg?
Drives me nuts!! But it always seems like Minnesota, green bay and Detroit do though. Just another reason for the bears to piss me off!

Forgot bears don't have a 3rd.. best chance for a hawk to chicago would be Jewell at 104... which is wishful thinking. Would be a perfect replacement for trevathan tho!

Bears.. ugh

He graduates in May I think. He literally has nothing else to gain from college and lots to lose.
 
JJ said that he would announce his decision after the bowl game. I remember Shonn Greene announcing right after the game, any word from Jackson?

Just heard his interview with Robbie Brooks. Isn't going to announce anything tonite, but will announce his decision soon.

Was his JR year any better than Kings though?
If he comes back, he's not gonna see much action either!

IMO DK smarter player, but JJ better potential. Of course DK has a TON more playing time than JJ....
 
King, Hyde, Kirksey, Fletcher, can't remember all of them ,are making major bank now.
Hope he stays.

Tie, once teams found out about Jackson after Ohio St. they started going away from him. Hope he stays....

We need another CB to step it up, or teams will just do what MSU and PU did.
One went after manny and the other after ojumedia constantly!
If JJ does leave, at least it'll give other some play time.

Of course, we'd obviously be better WITH him next year, but it could help for the following years.

Thanks for telling us things we already knew

I think Dez is the better player. Jackson still has technique stuff he can clean up (from what I've heard) and he is definitely not the tackler King is. King was about as good a corner as you get in college by his Sr. year, stats be damned.
