Paea has knee problems, and if he were at NT for us, he'd get worse knee problems I think.

Actually.....

Stephen Paea, Oregon State, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com


"Wide as a Coke machine and just as difficult to move, Paea (pronounced pie-uh) has developed into one of the nation's best run-stuffers."
"His ability to tie up blocks in the middle will lead teams to look at him closely over the first 50 picks of the 2011 draft no matter what scheme they utilize"


"Pass rush: .....Relies on his bull rush to knock interior linemen into the pocket and flush the passer into the arms of teammates......
Run defense: Is quick enough to surprise his opponent with a burst through the gap, but will make his NFL millions due to the fact that he is a natural run plugger due to his short, squatty build and rare upper- and lower-body strength. Can be knocked off the ball when double-teamed, but flashes the ability to split them and is rarely pushed far before he's able to plant his legs in the ground and create a pile. Doesn't have the lateral agility and balance to beat runners to the sideline, but hustles in pursuit.....
Strength: Ranks as one of the country's strongest players, reportedly boasting a 600-pound squat, 500-pound bench press and the ability to churn out 44 repetitions of 225 pounds. Is even stronger than his weight-room numbers indicate due to his natural leverage.
Intangibles: High-effort player was voted a team co-captain in 2009, in his second year in the program as a junior.

Only knee issues are a bursa sac issue he played through in 2008 and a torn meniscus in the Senior Bowl practice from which he is fully recovered.
Paea is listed at 6' 1" and a very solid 303, Jenkins is 6' 4" and a soft 310 with stamina issues. Time will tell, but I don't like taking Jenkins over Paea.
