Welcome Kris Jenkins

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.

Understand your concerns CrazyJDawg. Cannot understate the fact that Kris Jenkins had to go from a smallish End as a freshman
to a run stopping DT over his years all the while playing with Mazi Smith and all these other talented D-lineman. This can overshadow
your talent. Harbaugh clearly loved the guy and that Defense was elite with him on it. Nearly impossible to run on.

Just what we needed on our team.

Good one who went on to have a fantastic career.

But he doesn't strike me as someone who is going to be consistently asked to play NT. I see him as a Christian Wilkins type. He can play shade NT, 3T in a 4-3 / 5-2 alignment or play a down DE in 3-4 (Hendrickson and / or Hubbard standing up as "OLBs"). Being a part of a rotation not only keeps our guys fresher, we can also be more versatile with what "looks" we're giving offenses.

I like the Christian Wilkins comparison who lots of us wanted in FA and just got a monster contract. These versatile DT's are very 
valuable. Will be interesting seeing how Lou uses the Defense this year, I expect the Mad Scientist to be back with all these players
and it should really confuse Offenses. Good move bringing in smart vets in Vonn Bell, Geno Stone and Sheldon Rankins.
