I don’t think he’s a 1st rounder at the end of the day, but he’s probably going somewhere on day 2.
He should be about a round 4 guy. His feet are shit and his run blocking is near non-existent. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be on the radar or shouldn't be picked. Guys become starters in that range, even at LT. In fact, odds show if you aren't picking a LT by 23, do it in round 3 or 4. [Reply]
It's just going to come down to who Veach and the coaching staff like.
I think there are several guys that fit the measurables and athletic ability they prefer. It's entirely possible that they WON'T like guys that are 'consensus' picks.
I think a project like a Little or a Forsythe may well be the pick, paired with a veteran on a short deal.
I doubt they take a guy and expect him to start right away. [Reply]
and honestly, maybe they take Jenkins or Brown in the second or third, put him at RT in camp to fight it out with Remmers and move Niang to LT. Maybe they think that projects well for them. [Reply]
31. Kansas City Chiefs
The Pick: OT Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State
A right tackle for the most part in college, Teven Jenkins told me last month that he’s comfortable playing on the left side. That’s music to the ears of the Kansas City Chiefs, who couldn’t reel in a free agent left tackle.
Jenkins is a powerful run blocker and mean finisher when he gets his hands on a defender. He also has the size and length to be effective cutting off the backside on all those beautiful Patrick Mahomes rollout passes.
Brett Veach could always surprise us with a wide receiver pick here, but Jenkins feels like a match of need and value they can’t ignore. [Reply]

I don't think Jenkins will make it to 31 but who knows. I think there may be some surprises on draft day. This may be one of the toughest draft classes to evaluate because of the opt-outs and limited play etc. [Reply]

I have a hard time seeing Jenkins at 31. He seems to be be emerging as the clear #4 tackle. [Reply]
