41st Pick: Javaris Jenkins - NT - Clemson

[saden1]

This guy only repped 225lbs 17 times and the combine...how much of a nose tackle could he be? I would have drafted that kid from Oregon State.

Weak: Scout.com: Plenty left to prove at pro day

Yeah, we're going to need twice as many pledges in this years lift-a-thon.

He's getting the same numbers as WRs. He's going to get man handled unless this guy gets strong real fast and works on his stamina.

That is truly pathetic for a guy his size. I way about 194 lbs and can rep out 20+ (225 lbs) on a good day.

...Shanny has rarely been able to spot defensive talent, right?

I think Shanny doesn't give a shit because he probably believes the team's conditioning program would fix up any strength issues the chaps have.

since when is bench pressing a part of football? i really don't give a crap how many reps the guy did at the combine. if the guy is a player then that's all i care about.

I thought stamina and strength are a prerequisite to playing football? I suppose since bench pressing is not necessary there is no need for Jenkins to work on his strength and stamina. Yaaaay.

Well Jared Allen barely did any reps at the combine. Neither did Sean Taylor. It's about leverage and football ability/IQ. Yes you need stamina, but I really don't care what a guy benches. This guy appears to be just what we need. A big huge body that can play the run.

NFL profile said he had stamina issues, didn't play 3rd downs, would have series' off to recover
