Rank Our DTs (2025)

[J24]

I voted 20-25; BJ Hill (while a solid player) can't be the best DT in the room. Jenkins and Jackson are both going to have to step up if this unit is going to improve dramatically.

Would like to mention that McKinnley Jackson had an 81.7 PFF grade(8th) and 85 run grade(2nd) in the last 4 games of the season.

I was impressed with his explosion off the line last season in particular against the Giants and Titans.

McKinnley Jackson has a really nice first step it's just everything after that is the issue. That first step is negated alot too because he lines a yard deep to give himself time to diagnose the blocking scheme in front of him. Vision/play recognition was some of the issues he had in college too.

I remember comping him to Pat Sims in like December 2023 during the draft process and nothing has changed.

Didn't Brandon Thompson have a similar problem? Awesome first step but couldn't fine the ball?
