Malik Jackson, Denver Broncos

Jackson was another target listed last week in the top 10 overall for the Cardinals.  In four seasons, Jackson has tallied 14 sacks.  Five of those came in 2015.

To bring in a guy that has experience with a Super Bowl champion would mean the world for the current Cardinals roster.  While he doesn’t possess Oliver Vernon stats, there is a lot to be said about experience and knowledge.  He knows what it takes to help a defense win a championship.  He would also likely cost less than Vernon.  In this world though, maybe someone does over pay for his services?
