Myers is an easy choice. Jackson is a good prospect but drafting a 3-4 DE in the top five is the same as taking a guard or center in the top five. S Rashad Johnson was a solid pickup in round three. Their sixth rounders (Don Carey, Coye Francies and James Davis were nice values. If you wanted a one-gap penetrator, Ole Miss' Peria Jerry could be more to your liking.
