If They Draft a Tackle, It Should be Teven Jenkins

Well for starters his name has been mentioned.
Secondly he might not make it to pick 18 LVR might snatch him up he is a nasty Raider type guy and I can see Gruden falling in love with his attitude.
 
Its sad when to build a decent offensive line you have to keep pumping high picks into it.

I believe the line is incredibly important but that has nothing to do with addressing it in the most cost and resource effective way.

I get it but I look at it as finishing off the offense with the top part of this draft and hoping to hit on a couple defensive players later. The next couple drafts then would be spent making the defense elite and getting future replacements.
 
There are so many good tackles, it's just not a real necessity at 18 unless other elite prospects are gone.

Then at 50 take Q.Meinerz C and we have the makings of a nasty oline. Chase at 6, J.Williams at 36!

I’d be very okay with this. Just about ideal

might suck to not get one of the higher rated LB/Edge or a safety but we would have remodeled our offense immensely and maybe a third rounder at edge can contribute or someone falls

Not sure why his name is not brought up more often.

I think he would be a better fit than trying to draft one of the name brand LTs and moving him or AJ to RT.

Thoughts?

Flores likes big O-line guys and Jenkins is 6'6 and 320 lbs so he might be a player they like. It'll come down to what we do at 1-A but I'm sure he's in play.
 
better vet him real good on the back issue... That's a serious flag for OT
 
People are way too fixated on faulty concern of moving a college LT to RT.

The bluechip tackle prospects at the top of draft are LTs because they have the most complete tackle profiles and thus can add most value by protecting a QBs blindside. RTs are often a bit more brute power than LT (which requires the feet and finesse to mirror the fastest speed rushers). Sewell and Slater are LT prospects because they have the feet, mobility, finesse, AND power. The fact that they are worthy LT prospects does not detract from their ability to play RT.

Slater has plenty of experience at RT as well and Sewell has the full skillset to excel at either.

I would bet most of the best RTs in the NFL were LTs in college.

That's not to say I don't like Jenkins as a RT prospect. I do. But, I'm not devaluing Sewell and Slater at all because they are good enough to be premier LT prospects. That's the type of talent I want protecting Tua's blindside.
