Positionally I’m happy. Wish they would have moved up to get a better DT, but Jenkins is talented and was the best DT left on the board.

Sorry but I got on the Goodberry fist star stream and they were reacting to the Jenkins pick when we still had 3 picks to go until ours. I was genuinely confused. I get some channels slipping it earlier than others but is espn and the regular TV coverage 3 picks behind?

I love Jenkins was not sure they would take him, we have drafted two absolute athletes on both sides of the ball..

I will be shocked if Pitt passes on Frazier

Jenkins is sort of a NT/3T hybrid type - defends the run well and has pass rush twitch but to do both he gives up some pure size. I like it and this would point to Lou planning some differences in how our DL plays.

I know they tend to focus on the good and hype guys, but what I seen looks good. Bloodline guy. Two picks in, I'm not mad.

Let’s goooooooo
Bengals are killing right now

Can’t be mad. For a while I said this should be a trenches draft and that’s what they did with their 1st two picks. Still can get IOL/WR later with two thirds. Also could look for TE or CB.

We do? Don't we just have like 3 different 3T now? None of them seem like a Reader replacement. I figured they'd just get a big boy in like the 4th or 5th round to eat up blocks.

We're getting a NT tomorrow, bank on it

Now we just need a punter and the draft will be complete.

I think Jenkins isnt gonna be a huge impact year 1. Maybe has to add some weight

Seems like everyone here likes the pick so I’m happy.

Love how we are focusing on the trenches.

I thought about that but for our defense Jenkins is likely better - Newton is a very good classic pass rushing 3T but has difficulties against the run. Jenkins is more balanced.

Go stand in the corner and think about what you did.....

Jenkins can play NT

and he was on a stacked rotation line so he would have had better numbers playing more snaps, plus he is a freak athlete, i could see him playing some End on passing downs sometimes

I agree. We'll draft a classic big body tomorrow. 

Steelers having a draft.
