I think we all came to the conclusion Jenkins was going eventually cover Reader's role given he's more of a run stopper and now we want a more prolific, proven pass rushing DT to replace Hill.

Between Grant and Graham, Graham has been more of the pass rusher whereas Grant is more of the run stuffer and double-team NT type, no?

I know Grant hasn't always lined up at NT, but maybe I just haven't watched enough of the Michigan games to see how much he's truly affecting the pass and just unfairly labeling him as a NT because of his size.

Jenkins struggled with double teams in college and wound up in his ass multiple times when double teamed as a pro in preseason.

Jenkins is a run stuffing 3 tech with a great athletic profile(8.94 RAS) that needs to develop as a pass rusher.  He's a similar prospect to Nolen, though Nolen has shown better speed to power.
