WR A.J. Jenkins | Illinois | 6'0" | 190

Believe he'd be a nice pick up in the 4th round, don't see him falling to our spot in the 5th. Don't necessarily think WR is a huge need but a need nonetheless. His quickness and good route running allows him to create separation. Also uses his hands very well. Love receivers that catch the ball with their hands instead of relying on their bodies.

Might wanta fix his height, haha. I thought he was really 6'10 for a second and was like "hell yeah, sign me up."

But no really, I wouldn't mind him.

I'd like Joe Adams more if he's there, but wouldn't mind Jenkins either.

Thanks for the heads up, fixed it.

Quick question... I'm doing a 7 Round NFL Mock Draft again and I'm in the middle of the 5th Round and still haven't put AJ to any team yet. In fact here's the WR's and their rounds

1: Justin Blackmon, Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, Stephen Hill

2: Rueben Randle, Alshon Jeffery

3: Mohamed Sanu, T.Y. Hilton, Chris Givens, Brian Quick, Juron Criner, Marvin Jones, Nick Toon

4: Tommy Streeter, Greg Childs, Marvin McNutt

5: Joe Adams

Am I wrong for that?

You're not "wrong," it's your opinion. I think Jenkins is definitely a riser in this years draft and at first he wasn't projected to go til like the 5th but now it's looking closer to 3rd/4th. But that's just projections, we all know players fall and rise for no reason.

I'll pass and give Pilares more playing time at receiver and see what he can do. No need to block him with somebody with a similar skill set

They are different receivers really. Pilares is bit more built and is better suited for the slot. Jenkins, while he can play slot, he has the speed to play outside as well. He is quicker and has better hands as well.

Players in the same position don't block players because they have similar skill sets, not sure why that's relevant. The better player who produces will see the field and that's where the "blocking" occurs.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
