Even if he provides an immediate upgrade to Saleve'a, he's still not what we really need on the DL.
We have a squad full of adequate veterans already. What we need to get is some potentially dominant youth.
Jenkins strikes me as overrated because his production has slipped in the years that he should have been hitting his prime. Those are the worst possible years to get injuries and can ruin an otherwise solid career. Jenkins isn't ever going to fufill the standard he set for himself in the first four years of his career and while that's hardly his fault at all, it does make him a classic case of an overrated DT.
