Austin Jackson
LT/G, USC
Draft Projection: Round 1
NFL Comparison: Trent Brown
Jackson is incredibly athletic with the ability to become a fantastic, franchise left tackle, but he is pretty raw at this point and will need time to develop before becoming the great player he is expected to become. He has inconsistent hand placement and footwork that will be an issue if he is rushed into the starting lineup, but those things can and will be corrected over time. Jackson has the ability to switch to guard if necessary if he can improve his strength. Overall, Jackson's prototypical left tackle traits and incredible athleticism make him likely to be a high quality starter, but he is raw and will take time to develop.
Analytics-Based Prospect Grade: 96
