[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 489135"] I did a little more look-see on John Jenkins: Positives: - Check out the 2012 Missouri game highlights at nfldraftscout.com (unlinkable). The first things that hit you are that the guy is huge (6'3", 360 lbs.), strong, but shows good short distance quickness. And how often can you say a 360 lb. man has a motor and is athletic, relatively speaking? The 4th. quarter is an eye opener. There a couple of beastly flash plays late in the game. Often a man this size is gassed by that point...in this game it's the O-Linemen HE wore down despite drawing double teams throughout this game. If we were to work this guy into Jenkins snaps it might light a fire under Raji's butt...and opponents cannot double team both of them. - Note Georgia plays a 3-4 with Jenkins playing both inside and outside...it's a scheme fit, with versatility the Packers like. It's interesting to note that his line mate Kwame Geathers, another 350+ pounder, announced for the draft after his junior year...there's no comparison on the film. - Several good reviews out of the Senior Bowl. nfldraftscout.com was effusive in their praise..."simply bigger, faster and--as shocking as it sounds--quicker than virtually any other lineman on the field." - I've seen one source comment he's not a sloppy 360 lbs...naturally broad and pretty solid. It will be interesting to see what he lifts at the Combine; it could be a major number to go along with what the scale shows. Scouts will want to see what he looks like in shorts. - We share the same birthplace. ;) Negatives: - In that Missouri game, you'll see some poor ball awareness, particularly in the earlier part of the game. At times he over-commits, loses leverage, and gets pushed out of the play...needs polish. - He'll be 24 years old in July. - You have to be worried about conditioning with a man this size. - He was a JC transfer and was bounced out of this season's bowl game for academics, so you can figure study is not his strong point. But if you look at an interview with the guy, he's not an idiot, and might even qualify as bright among NFL D-Linemen. It just looks like he majored in football. Summary: I'm not settled on Jenkins as my favorite for the first round, but I think he's a strong contender, while being realistic about who will be available without trading up. A lot will depend on the Combine. A good showing might move him out of reach, though I admit to not knowing the NT needs around the league. Rumor has it the Eagles are contemplating a switch to 3-4; beyond that I'm unclear. I'm reminded of my favorite post-Senior Bowl pick from last year...Fletcher Cox as Cullin Jenkins replacement...who moved from low 1st. round to #12 on the strength of his Combine work. With uncertainties regarding both Raji and Pickett beyond 2013, the Packers will be giving this guy a hard look. And if they are already dubious about Raji's cost/benefit past 2013, it will be a very hard look. [/QUOTE]
