Detroit addressed its need opposite of Aidan Hutchinson in the short term by inking Marcus Davenport to a one-year deal, but edge is still a long-term focus. Jackson has serious length and is an efficient mover for a 6-7, 282-pound player. He uses his first-step quickness effectively and impacts the running game with how much ground he covers. Jackson has really filled out his frame since his college career began, but he must continue to do so. He had 6.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss last season.
