Broncos Select Tennessee DE Malik Jackson (Rd.5, No.137)

[SteveRobWhatever]

With the 137th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Broncos select Malik Jackson, DE (Tennessee). Jackson is quick off the ball, and more effective when given space to not have to face bigger linemen, usually through a schematic call that allows him to run free through a gap. Although undersized, he is able to hold up bigger linemen and then shed those players to get to the ball. He had good rush production inside even though he was often physically overmatched, and once in the backfield he is a fluid mover toward the ball. Jackson can get washed out at times by stronger offensive linemen. Strength has been his consistent Achilles heel and it's a wonder that he survived after being moved inside after transferring.
