I'd also be surprised if they wanted to spend a 2nd round pick on a player who they intend to play at NT who has never really played NT and is not the correct size for a NT.

My belief is they drafted him with the belief that he has some untapped athletic potential to be a dominant pass rusher. In his best case scenario, he's a DT who is elite at rushing the passer (if they can teach him how to rush the passer) and elite at stopping the run and, at his worst, he's a single gap run stopper who plays 1 or maybe 2 downs.

I think the fact that his perceived worst case scenario is still a useful player is why he was drafted so high.

I just wish there was even 1 example of a player in the NFL today who was not a good pass rusher in college who went on to be a good pass rusher in the NFL (and maybe there is. I just can't think of them.)

Well Kris Jenkins is really strong as we see from him doing that Turkish get-up, maybe he can be a very good pass rusher...

We all know Geno Atkins won with his strength, yah never know. All I know is Kris Jenkins said in his interview, he will do whatever the 
coaches want him to do to become the player they need. Whether it was playing End, a pass rushing 3-tech or eat a lot of chili and play NT.

This is just what he said. I need to watch more film on his pass rush to judge this part of his game honestly. I know he is a great run stopper
and that is what we needed more than anything.
