Coulson predicts Dexter Jackson as "maybe" a first-round pick?

[AppGrad06]

Actually, I found the article to be fairly objective. My issue was that SE posted it trying to show that somebody else had Jackson as a 1st rounder. But, bleacherreport.com is a "sign-up and write for us" type of site, so the content is amateur sportswriter generated. There were, by my count, about 10 mock drafts posted, none of which had Jackson at 29. I don't think that ER necessarily needed to point that out in his article, but a more direct link would've been helpful.

I stopped trying to find the mock draft he was referring to. I'm sure it's out there, but I couldn't find it.

I regret posting that about Coakley. In retrospect, it was kind of a cheap shot. I was using it to bash the credibility of the article, but the above paragraph was really the only point I was trying to get across.

The mock draft referred to definitely exists, I saw it a couple weeks ago. Probably been lost in the shuffle since then. The basic gist of what the guy who wrote it said was that the guy who will be making the 49ers selections is "crazy" and made some "crazy" early picks based on speed in the past, when he was with the Rams (I think). It also said that those picks subsequently got him fired. DJ being picked 29th by the 49ers was basically the equivalent of a #16 or 15 seed beating a #1 or 2 in march madness. Would it be totally sweet for Dex to go in the 1st round? Yes. Odds of it actually happening... about a snowballs chance in hell.

I wasn't trying to show it, I did show it. I knew I had read it somewhere and it was in the link I posted. I didn't go looking for what the writer referenced, he wouldn't have wrote it if it wasn't accurate I trust. Mock drafts are a dime a dozen and it's anyone's guess. Kiper is not much better than a writer for bleacherreport I would think. I'm sure someone here could do as well too. Silly to argue about it or put one mock over another IMO.

... Your boy Coulson has moved from the local to the national and has been unable to drop the local bias...

You do know Coulson was writing FCS nationally before he was at TSN, right? Just saying and nothing else, he's not new to FCS national writing.
