Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

Well, it's a pick targeting the right spot--middle of the 3-4 front, DE/NT. Now it's just question of scouting. Can he fill it up in the NFL or not? We'll see!

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

Shocked. Didn't think he was the best NT availiable. Not strong; Did only 17 Reps at the combine which is pretty bad for a D-lineman.

will be nteresting to see what Haslett can do with Jenkins. can use some work.

Thanks for the link, that confirms my overall disappointment

3/28/2011 - Jenkins has excellent size and strength, and will fit in a number of schemes, including outside in a 3-4.[/quote]

Yet could only bench press 225 17 times, he looks like the Pillsbury dough boy.

The bench isn't a great indicator of overall strength

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

I think he would have been there at 49 but maybe they have other plans for that pick.

Better be a C.

Looks like the stay has been granted according to Eisen just on NFL network.

probably woulda been there deep into the 3rd

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

I think we are overreacting a little bit. I'd have rather taken Paea myself if we are going dline, but at the same time the teams scouts might see something in him that we don't. He's got the size and they say he has "functional strength" meaning he's farm boy strong would be my explanation. Might not be able to lift a bar with 225lbs on it a bunch of times, but could throw bails of hay like it's nothing. We'll have to wait and see.

Don't think he's a nose, more likely a DE.

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

Kid is a potential beast, but unless we are going to make a grab for Carson Palmer, we should have gone for a QB. I can see us keep Donovan, but with all that went on last season I wrote us keeping him off. Can't believe Mallet has fallen this far.

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

Let's go with Rodney Hudson next. Or trade down again. Maybe add a 3rd and something next year.
