It's great when it happens. But it shouldn't be counted on.

Atkins won with his strength, but he did it in college and in the NFL.

Jenkins sounds to me like a high motor guy who will be a coach's favorite player, but will never actually become as good as you'd hope.

But again, I'm praying that I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. For the team's sake.

Jenkins to me seems like the IDL equivalent of Sam Hubbard.
He might get ya 2-4 sacks a season, but his best attributes will be run defense, effort, and attitude.


It's unfortunate, as I really wanted to see a true UT selected along with a NT. Bengals got the true NT in Jackson, IMO.
I probably would have gone with Michael Hall instead of Jenkins at that pick, as Hall offers more pass rush upside, but I know the Bengals need good run defense against the AFC North, so I get it.
