41st Pick: Javaris Jenkins - NT - Clemson

Maybe on tape he works harder than the other DTs. Seems like that's our new theme this year

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.

Powe would be a good pick hands down in the 4th or 5th

At some point I'd like a Center

Maybe we should let this guy play a down first. Rather have a gamer than a workout warrior.

right there with you. i don't really see it as a reach cause mop top says so. this draft has beeen very deliberate and it seems like they know what they want to do and who they want to do it with. i'm actually blown away by how well they have played this draft so far, the only thing that kills me is we didn't do this last year and i have no f-ing clue why not

From what I've heard, the only people who say we have a weakness at center is the fans. The guys on the team all say Rabach is a leader and is absolutely a favorite in the locker room.

What should they have done last year? We certainly couldn't have traded out of the #4 spot and not taken Trent Williams. They absolutely needed to get a left tackle, and they did.

Thanks to Vinny Bozo we just didn't have much to work with last year.

Haslett will definitely find work for him.

I like the quiet steps being taken to improve the second worst defense in the league.

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.
What?

I just wonder if we could've gotten this kid a round or two later.
