There has been videos posted that show he's not very athletic. Lumbering even in movements. It'd be a safe pick (OLine usually is with a 60%+ hit rate). But you can get a similar prospect round 2 with more upside. Jenkins is just a guy imo. What are you talking about? I posted his relative athletic score (RAS). Dude is athletic. I'll share it and tag you. Gimme a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably get him with some strength and conditioning coaches to improve his agility. I think he's going to be a really good player in the NFL. I'm going to stand on this hill until he fails. Then I'm going to admit I was wrong if he does end up failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Jenkins is going to be a bad player, but I don't think he's going to be worth the #17 pick. The team lacks start talent. Players that make a difference on Sunday. Jenkins would be a mundane limited upside pick. The kind of pick you make when you admit you can't identify better talent so you play it safe.

I just don't see why we haven't addressed OT at all in free agency. Going into the draft the only OT's we have on the roster are Miller/Parker.

I'd personally rather reach on Spencer Brown at #48 than take Jenkins at #17. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 With the depth at OT, I hope we go defense at 17. I don’t think there’s a FS worth #17 though. Wouldn’t hate a OT, but much prefer to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy408 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) What I got out of the Mike Mayock press conference: The Raiders might trade up for Micah Parsons if he falls far enough They're going to try to trade down if certain players aren't there They really like Nicolas Morrow I noticed when talking about Free safety he didn't really mention Karl Joseph but rather mentioned Jeff heath They believe that you have to take a safety in the first three rounds and if not you have to get a converted corner And they really like Solomon Thomas(Going to draft DL more for depth than another starter) When asked about the right tackle position he mentioned some street free agent named Jaryd Jones-Smith as someone they liked They still believe in Arnette as an outside Corner They drafted Henry Ruggs With the understanding that he would make more of a year 2 and beyond impact rather than his rookie year Edited April 22, 2021 by Jeremy408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been way too much LB talk by Raider Beat Writers, and the Raiders own website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vera-Tucker hasn’t been mentioned much on here, if he’s there at #17 would anyone be interested? I haven’t seen anyone name him on their big boards.

I think he's a pure guard, and I wouldn't draft a guard in the first round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
