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?
You know Aaron Donald has never weighed 290 right? He is a mutant for sure, but Jenkins led all others in rush defense win rate and other advanced stats. We needed to address stopping the run more than pass rush this draft as we were ran all over last season, and Rankins was signed for pass rush. I seriously doubt they drafted him to be the primary NT.
