Adoree’ Jackson, USC

Possibly the best playmaker in this DB class, Jackson has a nose for the football and could be a nice fit in the Seahawks secondary. Last season at USC Jackson tallied five interceptions. At 5’11 Jackson isn’t as tall or long as a typical Seattle corner. However, the Jim Thorpe Award winner’s speed, athleticism and instincts allow him to stick with any receiver on the field.

Aside from his outstanding playmaking on defense, Jackson is also a home run threat as a punt and kick returner. That versatility is something the Seahawks drool over. With Tyler Lockett coming off a broken leg, it would be nice for the team to buy some insurance in Jackson.  If the team felt corner was a top priority, they may consider using a 2nd or third round pick on the USC product.
