He showed pass rush ability but wasn't exactly a menace.
He had 9 sacks in 58 games.

I'd want someone taken earlier with maybe more of a Pro Bowl promise who can start with him as a rotational depth piece.

If Bengals really think Jenkins will succeed long-term at 3T, maybe Alexander rotate with him and take someone like Kenneth Grant to start at 1T with McKinnley Jackson to back him up.

Or get Walter Nolen in Rd 1 and Darius Alexander in Rd 4 to cover 3T while Jenkins and Jackson rotate at the other spot.

I'm not huge on Alexander, I was just supposing. But I think that Kenneth Grant would would be a no-brainer home run type of pick. Yes, I know that we drafted Jackson last season, but aside from Rankins the Bengals only have the two young guys under contract. Grant has the versatility to play either position if asked to, and the speed to back it up. I would feel confident with any combination of Jenkins, Jackson or Grant on any down.
