Mike Thomas, Kamara, Jackson ... that's a lot of firepower on offense. If Lamar is there at 27 ... what do you do?

Payton’s been pretty forthcoming with the media since his daughter’s been trying to break into the business. I guess you have to take Jackson right? If we did though I would try like heck to get into the 2nd round for an instant impact player since Jackson would be sitting.

I'd like to see a mobile QB in Payton's system. In my mind, most of the QB's in the draft are "projects" to a certain extent. Most of these guys need a year or two to emerge. Payton is still one of the best innovators of offense in the game. If he sees Jackson can learn the system, work on accuracy, mental aspects (being able to audible, read defenses etc), I'm all for it.

Sean polished up Tony Romo pretty well

I've been hoping for defensive player, particularly the Dline, that could start day 1, but if Jackson's still there at 27, he'd be a great pick up and it would be fun to see what Payton could do with him.

A Jackson + Kamara + Thomas core would be fun to watch. The RPO’s Payton would likely add into the fold would be deadly.
