41st Pick: Javaris Jenkins - NT - Clemson

This guy only repped 225 17 times and the combine...how much of a nose tackle could he be?

Yeah, we're going to need twice as many pledges in this years lift-a-thon. :silly:

He's getting the same numbers as WRs. He's going to get man handled unless this guy gets strong real fast and works on his stamina.

Weak: Scout.com: Plenty left to prove at pro day (http://clemson.scout.com/2/1057085.html)

That is truly pathetic for a guy his size. I way about 194 lbs and can rep out 20+ (225 lbs) on a good day.

...Shanny has rarely been able to spot defensive talent, right?

I think Shanny doesn't give a shit because he probably believes the team's conditioning program would fix up any strength issues the chaps have.

he can get stronger and bigger, he has the right frame though so no worries. I'm also thinking Shanny doesn't have the final say on defensive talent.

He'll be a NT and it's a solid pick but I think Marvin Austin would have been better IMO

I still thought there were better NT's available (Austin, Ellis, Paea), Bowers got 15.5 sacks so Jenkins was collapsing the pocket and drawing double teams, but he must get stronger (17 reps).

poor pick period in the 2nd round. Hankerson pick made up for it. It was a reach...the Skins told him he would be playing NT, so no plans at DE for him. USC kid, Paea, and Kendrick Ellis much much much better pick for NT. Watch Ellis at the Jets

Kiper said this was a reach, too. Oh well. Sounds like this was the most questionable of the picks, but this was still a huge need.

Hard to imagine this guy will hurt us stopping the run. The Paea guy apparently had a knee issue.

No Question. He can prove us wrong and only time will tell, but this pick is the only reason I give us an A- instead of an A. I don't know if he's big or strong enough to play NT, or fast enough to play End in a 3-4 DE. We might regret not taking Ellis, Austin and Paea, but if we get Powe, a true NT in the 4th I'll be reassured.
