NFLDraftBuzz had his average overall rank across all their scouting services as 116.1 pick.
There's a chance he would have gone off the board by the Bengals' 4th round pick.
And there really weren't many pure NTs in the draft.

If anything, they got a Tupou replacement. However, there are a lot of similarities to Reader when he came out of college, so I think Reader if Jackson's ceiling.
Either way, I think NT and run defense as a whole should be improved between Jenkins and Jackson.

Yeah, you realize those aren't the most updated rankings Draft Buzz is using, right?

For example they use 33rd Team's ranking of 98 from February, but 33rd Team had him ranked 187 overall on 4/23.  Mock Draft Database they have as 134, when their most recent is 159.  Draft Countdown, they use his 90 rank from February, not his most recent rank of 134 from 4/19.

The Consensus Big Board gets updated daily.  I don't know what methodology Draft Buzz uses, but they don't use the most current information.

We will have to see how he does.  Even low ranked prospects can turn out good.  But from a value perspective, he was bad value and we reached nearly 2 rounds for him.
