And he has the ability to play RT at a very high level. That being said, I'm looking at corner, DL and WR with early picks. I just can't help but feel if Jenkins future was at RT, Jenkins would be playing RT right now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe. But we lost a starting guard. While having Turner and Wagner on the roster. You never know what the future holds given the cap. I can see a scenario where it's easier to draft a guard and flip Jenkins to tackle. Link to post Share on other sites

Rodjahs12 668 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Haven’t been impressed with Slaton for Florida in this game at all. Texas A&M is running all over them. Link to post Share on other sites
Packerraymond 7,903 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I know literally nothing about him (or really any draft prospect so far, such is life when you buy a house) but from the little I saw watching UNC and VT today, a backfield of Williams, Dillon and Michael Carter from UNC would be effective and affordable next year.

Kampfgeist 168 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I suspect Stepaniak pushes for a starting G spot next year. Many thought he’d be a 3rd-4th rounder prior to his injury and he’ll be well more than a year out from his ACL injury. Jenkins is a great guard but it wouldn’t shock me if Stepaniak and Runyan are the starting Guards with Jenkins the new Center. Link to post Share on other sites
OneTwoSixFive 798 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Just had my first stab at Thedraftnetwork site for a 3 round mock. I don't know much about the players apart from what was said on TDN, but went with what I thought was decent value (at least on their board) and positions of most need, imo. 29 DL Jaylen Twyman Pittsburgh 6'2", 290 Good vision, great strength and excellent quickness off the snap 61 OT Jalen Mayfield Michigan 6'5", 319 Great size, superior athleticism and a good run blocker too - need some technique work. 92 CB Marco Wilson Florida 6'0", 190 Fast thinker who plays outside and in. Good closing speed as a blitzer and cover guy. Should only get better. Inconsistent jamming at the LOS. Link to post Share on other sites

Does he go through his man or does he take the path of least resistance? Can he sit in a double? Like you Ive seen nothing yet but from just the profile I'd say it's not a great fit.

Does Twyman have the lateral agility that Daniels had; that's the question for me if he's a viable prospect. 1 hour ago, Kampfgeist said: I suspect Stepaniak pushes for a starting G spot next year.

Since when has Jenkins been slated for Center duties? If anything, Patrick or Hanson take over in the event Linsley leave. In fact, Hanson was drafted as a Center FWIW... I will give you that Runyan is a viable(and VERY viable) option at RG in the near future. I cannot emphasize how much I loved this pick and can't believe how far he fell. He was great in the Minny game and will be a Day 3 steal when all is said and done barring a major injury(or injury history) or a complete and utter regression. Link to post Share on other sites

Well Daniels was a century ago under a different system soooooo that has literally no bearing. As soon as this system was brought in he got shipped out. Link to post Share on other sites
