I’m glad we are addressing the lines, just sucks we managed to pick the 2 players at their positions I really didn’t want. But I can live with it.

Rd 2 High floor pick - Good rotational DT who will probably never be a standout.  Solid pick.

I think Jenkins has a high ceiling as a pass rusher if wee can find a way to coach-up his pass rush moves.

My hope is that McKinley Jackson is a Bengal before tonight is over.

This week I spoke to Michigan DT @KrisJenkinsJr1 and it was one of the best interviews I have ever been a part of.

Here he is talking to the fans of the team that will draft him.

Im shocked Pittsburgh took Frazier.... Not.

[TecmoBengals]

I like the draft for focusing on the trenches. 2 more picks ahead of us for the night.

[QueenCity]

Reading some of the other AFC North forums.... some jealousy of our last two picks.

A <300lb NT in the AFCN? That sounds iffy, man.

Down goes Frazier, Down goes frazier
whoever called him going to the stellers, kudos

[Fan_in_Kettering]

I want to take linebacker Tommy Eichenberg if he’s available when we draft next — but I also admit I’m a Buckeye alumnus.

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 notice that the ESPN.com site was one pick ahead of my streamed ABC broadcast. So, I stopping going online, or even on this thread, until the broadcast shows the pick.

I like Kris Jenkins a lot for us, great run stopper and can rush the passer a bit. Thought NT's and especially Sweat would of lasted
longer so happy we went and got a great one. The Titans reached on Sweat even if not for the DWI. As most know I wanted McKinnley
Jackson but Kris Jenkins played against the best and held his own. Love the pick.

THE TRENCHES BABY!!!

[Ell Prez]

Don’t know anything about Jenkins. Can he stop the run? We need someone who can stop all the rushers in the AFCN.

There were 4 DT selected in second round before our pick. I wish we traded up to get someone like Newton, sweat

[Whatever]

Someone send a wellness check to Synric's house after that Frazier to Pittsburgh pick.

His dad was an All-Pro NT at 360.  Scouting report I read said they think Jr is maxed out at 300.

Colts love athletes

[Nicomo Cosca]

Kris Jenkins stable metrics percentiles via PFF:

Pass rush grade on true pass rushes: 73rd pctl
Pass rush grade w/out play action: 79th pctl
Run defense grade: 86th pctl
Run stop rate: 98th pctl

That run stop rate. :shocked:

He is pound for pound one of the strongest players in the draft. Weight doesn’t make you a NT your ability to anchor does and he can do it. I’d guess he will play around 310.

[PDub80]

I hope I'm eating the crow in the next two or three years, but Jenkins is a "Meh" for me. Awesome personality, but personalities don't crush pockets.
