Draft Rewind 2014: Gabe Jackson, Oakland Raiders

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about GABE JACKSON: Mississippi State, 6032, 336, 5.51. Four-year starter at left guard. Is a nasty and physical long armed power player with a wide body. Pushing 340 pounds, he majors in run blocking. Average quickness for a man his size. Has been blessed with an inordinate amount of tools to play on the next level such as flexibility, size, and knee bend. Can anchor against power players. Flashes a boxer’s punch in pass protection. Can improve his change of direction quickness by dropping some excess weight. Must improve his angles to cut off pursuit on the second level. Senior Bowl notes: massive wide thick body frame with functional foot mobility and athletic agility. Shows some body stiffness that hinders him with his change of direction movements. Struggled all week as a one-on-one pass protector because he lacks body and hip flexibility. Fringe hand placement. Has okay playing strength if he gets his hands on defenders with the first punch. Has natural anchor abilities. OSR:26/40. Third/ fourth round. (A-33 3/4, H-10, BP-30, 10-1.84).
