You do realize they have been terrible at drafting DL over the last 15 years. The last Defensive Tackle they drafted that played well in Cincinnati is Geno Atkins drsfted 2010... and before you say Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson both were not good last year. Could they be better this year? Yes, But the arrow is NOT pointing up.


Seriously if you continue to post on a football forum you should learn some football. It's not hard alot of information but not hard.

His best trait is his first step which is negated because he lines up a yard deeper so he can have an time to deconstruct blocks.  Jenkins is just not a quick step guy. He needs to develop better power moves dude is strong but he stalls so easy wirh his bull and doesn't use a push pull which he should. He isn't great at double teams but I can be more lenient on a 3t, 2i, 4i. He is a monster in gap control 1 on 1 though. This isn't just my opinion from 1 NFL year but also from 2 years in college. These players need to take a massive step forward.

Again. You speak of what you don't understand.

You have great knowledge about the game but does not make you a great evaluator of talent, if so, get a job as an NFL scout. I like both Jenkins and Jackson picks, they were just injured and then thrown into the fire early and got burnt. But I look for them to both be good picks based on their draft position. Maybe try to attack other picks, there are many to choose to make your point.

Maybe he's actually on his way to being an NFL scout but doesn't feel it's necessary to broadcast it here. What exactly are your qualifications to question his knowledge or choice of employment?

Kind of a strange hill to die on when there are others here with questionable intent, not to mention bravery or foolishness to question someone who can talk circles around you when it comes to football 401, 301, 201 AND 101.

WTS, you need to take a look and see who knows what they are talking about and those who are just talking. But yeah, when another poster tells you "you should really learn football," that can cause defensiveness.
