Saints draft NT Johnathan Jenkins (1 Viewer)

[Saint Kamara]

Loomis wins the battle with the Jets and gets a 4th rounder for Ivory.

Then he sends both 4th rounders for Miami's 3rd rounder at #82.

Genius work. Again.

Loomis made it happen.

PS - based on value chart, the Dolphins should have gotten our 6th rounder as well

 

[SuperDome]

Traded up with Bears.

What did we trade...can't find it anywhere...

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

Traded up with Bears.

It was with Miami.

 

[saintmike23]

Traded Ivory to the Jets then traded two 4ths with Miami

 

[2009ring]

Traded Ivory for the fourth, sent that fourth and our own fourth to Miami for their 3rd.

New Orleans Saints trade back into third round to take Georgia DT John Jenkins | NOLA.com

Not a bad move IMO.

 

[ashes to ashes]

Traded Ivory to the Jets for their 4th rounder. Traded that pick and our other 4th round pick to the Dolphins for the 3rd round pick used to choose Jenkins.

I can't believe how long it took to find out what happened. Everybody was blowing up!

Johnathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

STRENGTHS: Built like a Coke machine and is just as difficult to move. Has a wide frame with thick, strong limbs. Good strength and use of leverage (generally) to hold up to double-teams and create a pile. Surprisingly quick off the snap and can split gaps to destroy plays before they've even begun.
Good lateral agility, balance to slide laterally in pursuit of the ballcarrier to string out the play while fighting off blockers. Keeps his hands active, showing good effort, strength and technique to battle his ways towards the quarterback.

Good bull rusher. Can simply drive opponents backward. Locates the ball well and shows good effort to the flanks. Slips off of blocks to grab on and drag down ballcarriers attempting to slip past him. Very good strength for the drag-down tackle.

Versatile. Has lined up virtually all over the Georgia defensive line. Appears to possess long enough arms to potentially play the five-technique role, as well as at nose guard or defensive tackle.

WEAKNESSES: Provides little in terms of an interior pass rush. Is simply too wide to not get slowed down while squeezing through tight gaps in the interior line and has only phone booth quickness.

Wears down quickly and will need to be substituted often to be fully effective in the NFL. Allows his pad level to rise as he tires, which negates his strength.

COMPARES TO: B.J. Raji, NG, Green Bay Packers -- Like the former Boston College standout, Jenkins' mass and strength are the most obvious of his impressive physical characteristics, but surprisingly light feet and willingness to fight through blocks to provide some interior pass rush are attributes which could lead to a steady ascent as the draft approaches.

Let's hope this goes better than the last time we selected a DT from Georgia named Johnathan

 

[Galbreath34]

Not bad, a lot of folks had him as a second rounder. We can use a big body, and giving up a 4th and Ivory (though I love him) isn't bad for an area where we need the bulk.

 

[El Caliente]

This guy had a late first, early second round pick.

Not bad....now, who is he?

 

[CantonLegend]

I compare him favorably to Terrence cody. He had less trouble controlling his weight than cody and is much quicker whereas cody was just a space eater

Jenkins wears down because he's a block eater.

You'd get tired fast too if you got punched in the face and gut every play by multiple 300lb+ offensive linemen

It's a great pick. About as good a value pick as you can get

We have a pretty good draft going considering no 2nd rounder.

I heard San Fran was looking at Jenkins as well, so

 

[nosaints213]

A lot of people compare him to Shaun Rogers. That would be amazing!!!

 

[BlackNGoldblood]

Anyone think the Saints originally traded with Dolphins to take Damontre Moore, but Giants snatched him right before our pick?
