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

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

he can get stronger and bigger, he has the right frame though so no worries. I'm also thinking Shanny doesn't have the final say on defensive talent.

He'll be a NT and it's a solid pick but I think Marvin Austin would have been better IMO

[vallin21]

I still thought there were better NT's available (Austin, Ellis, Paea), Bowers got 15.5 sacks so Jenkins was collapsing the pocket and drawing double teams, but he must get stronger (17 reps).

poor pick period in the 2nd round. Hankerson pick made up for it. It was a reach...the Skins told him he would be playing NT, so no plans at DE for him. USC kid, Paea, and Kendrick Ellis much much much better pick for NT. Watch Ellis at the Jets

No Question. He can prove us wrong and only time will tell, but this pick is the only reason I give us an A- instead of an A. I don't know if he's big or strong enough to play NT, or fast enough to play End in a 3-4 DE. We might regret not taking Ellis, Austin and Paea, but if we get Powe, a true NT in the 4th I'll be reassured.

Powe would be a good pick hands down in the 4th or 5th

Kiper said this was a reach, too. Oh well. Sounds like this was the most questionable of the picks, but this was still a huge need.

Hard to imagine this guy will hurt us stopping the run. The Paea guy apparently had a knee issue.

Who cares what Kiper thinks???? The guy's a total idiot. Kiper said JaMarcus Russell was going to be John Elway. His opinion is about as important as my toe nail.

Kiper was right on 28 out of 32 guys going in the first round. Not bad. Now, you may not like him, and he's not 100% right 100% of the time, but clearly he's not a total idiot.

Not that I want to further send this thread on a tanget but in regards to Rabach this is the play I was talking about. Fast forward to 0:23. It's the next running play. Rabach is utterly destroyed and no this is not an isolated incident.

Dude got rick rolled on that play. Hell, you could probably choose any play from the Detroit game with Suh to illustrate how bad Rabach is.
