It's the same reason I didn't like the Murphy selection either.
You're right that McKinnley had a few flashes in his rookie season. I hope he builds on them. But I didn't like either draft pick at the time it was made.
I'll happily be wrong though!
Fair enough CJD. I actually had McKinnley Jackson in all my Mocks last year, I wanted him in stripes before we drafted him. True on pass rush win
rate and how it equates to NFL play, but Kris Jenkins went from a LB to a DT in college, that is why he was called the Freak. McKinnley is supposed
to be a Nose Tackle which is why I didn't understand you saying he will never be one. Both Kris and McKinnley were great run stoppers in college
so I think at the very least they can good in this aspect, we will see how they develop especially now that they have a new DL coach in Montgomery.
Never liked Hobby and how he developed DL.
