This is an excellent point. The Bengals have to play Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb, and Najee Harris TWICE.

Well my Broncos and Falcons buddies hate me because my teams Bengals & Sooners beat their college and pro teams all the time. They never admit anything good about the Bengals. They both are pretty high on our picks

Strength and position is what Nose Tackle is now a days TLL. The best run stopping team in the NFL last year was the Bears and both Billings
and the other DT were just over 300 pounds. I know we are a different Division but Jenkins is really strong and can take on double teams.

The best run stopping Defenses in the NFL don't have monster NT's. Strength is what is needed over fat ass ***** like Sweat.

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!!!

They can still pick McKinley Jackson in the 3rd.

All you have to do is, run counters at Trey

Jenkins is stout against the run, and strong AF.

[Bilbo Saggins]

They are throwing HAYMAKERS so far this draft in terms of physical ceiling. Jenkins looks strong and explosive with some natural leverage being under 6'3". Decent choice IMO. Definitely a guy who has the potential to be a grand slam with his physical traits.

Jenkins had a plus 98% run stop rate which is pretty impressive.

Kris Jenkins was the catalyst NT on Michigan who won the NCAA Championship, YES HE CAN STOP THE RUN AND AGAINST THE BEST COMPETITION.

Sinnott gone.

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.

With how teams ran all over us last year we could definitely use a guy like Jenkins

[BengalsLUFC]

Like the pick know nothing about him but sounds like the best run stopping DT in the draft. Needs to learn pass rush but I still trust Lou for now.

After a good nights sleep I’m more open to Mims too dude is a ***** monster

Still have a few needs in the 3rd like to see a WR and would have said Sinnott but he’s just gone ffs.

[*Synric*]

I can't express the pain of seeing Zach Frazier to the Steelers even id everyone has seen it coming since December.

[coachmcneil71]

Strange run on the DTs. Ts, I like the Jenkins pick. He fits the criteria and culture that they have been trying to build. Defensive leader on a NC team.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Washington having the best day 2 for me so far.

[WhoDeyK]

Washington having a good draft in my opinion

[jj22]

That’s early for Sinnott

NT is not a high value position.  Also, this is an exceptionally bas class for them.  It sucks that we lost Reader, but we have to accept reality.  Jenkins brings more to the table than any of the remaining big NTs could ever hope to on their best day.  We're fortunate to have him fall to us.

…and speaking thereof, should we look at drafting his replacement? Hendrickson has threatened to retire and wants a trade. Apparently he has been possessed by the spirit of Carson Palmer.
