How many downs do you get out of a 1 gap run stopper? Or will he be a 2 gap run stopper? Is he tall enough to do that? Can he handle double teams?
If we only drafted him to be a run stopper at 305 lbs, that raises more questions, specifically why would we spend a 2nd round pick on that role?
Drafting a guy like Jenkins who was the second best run stopping DT in the Draft is just exactly what this team needed honestly.
He pretty much just does what a team asks of him, and he CAN rush the passer when asked. What is crazy about him and why he is
called The Mutant is how he can gain and lose weight to adapt to what the team needs. Expecting the coaches to ask him to gain some
weight so he can take up double teams which he clearly can do and be a Nose Tackle early on.
McKinnley Jackson had some off the field problems, so I actually find Kris Jenkins to be the insurance in case something like this ever
comes up again even if I doubt it will unlike a guy like Sweat. Anybody that drinks and drives on the month of the Draft I will put nothing
past. We needed a Nose Tackle and we got 2 out of the Draft and one in Jenkins who can play everything from End to Nose Tackle
depending on what the team needs. Special player honestly with very high character and a great bloodline.
