I liked Erik McCoy but Jekins is the better run blocker. Good pick.

Any addition to the offensive line is a plus, but he’s listed at center but Lofton said he is a guard? Which is it? The Packers current Center is probably the second best lineman on the team?

Much needed help on the OL.
Draft network
PROS: Listed size is ideal for the position, if he is in fact that big. Good wide base to anchor against power rushers. Hand placement is ideal, if an opponent works to his edge, gets a hand on the hip and runs the arc with them past the quarterback. Smooth mover with good body control.
Gets to the second level with ease and moves fluidly in space. Strong, leveraged hands in the run game. Works his hips into contact to get a good initial punch off the ball. Technical with his hand usage, finds leverage points to gain early control. Good mental processing to pick up stunts and twists up front.
Rarely blows assignments. Cerebrally, should impress coaches with his ability to recognize pressure and communicate at the pivot spot. Smart, well-spoken, considered the brain of the Mississippi State offensive line. Has played every position except right guard while in college.
CONS: Despite listed size, doesn't play like he has overwhelming physical or athletic traits. Not explosive out of his stance and doesn't attack opponents with an aggressiveness that threatens their run fit off the snap. Can struggle to reach quicker players in zone schemes due to slow feet. Not a finisher. Needs to show more aggression and leg drive to latch and stay on defenders, too often doesn't sustain his blocks.
More aggressive players bring the fight to him, leading to too many 1v1 losses. Flashes of working to obtain optimal positioning and seal defenders off, but not consistent at all. The nastiness and passion coaches desire in their offensive linemen doesn't seem to be there.
Pass rushers with great traits or a plan of attack can work him 1v1. Struggles to respond quickly to counters, seems a beat slow in his transitions. Lack of length can be an issue against long arms on the inside. Just think the deepest position group in the NFL (interior defensive line) will really challenge his lack of great traits and aggression.

He has played 4 positions on the O line so versatility is there.

Explosive offensive talent can't do anything without a good OL.

If this guy can play guard well I'd be pretty happy.

Height: 6-4. Weight: 310. Arm: 34.25. Hand: 10.00.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05. Three Cone: 7.77.
Bench: 29. Vertical: 28. Broad: 9-1.
Projected Round (2019): 1-3.
4/24/19: Team sources told me they have graded Jenkins in the second round, and he looks like a potential plug-and-play starter in the NFL. Other teams are not as high on Jenkins. He was a steady blocker in the middle of the Mississippi State offensive line in 2018, and his strong play earned him an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Jenkins put together a solid week in Mobile.
At the point of attack, Jenkins is quick to the second level and does a nice job of beating defenders to a spot to wall them off. He is quick, agile, and athletic on the inside with the ability to fire to the second level. Jenkins is very effective at double-team combo blocks with guards and is reliable to get gaps open with his double-team skills. In pass protection, Jenkins has a good anchor with the size to handle bull rushes. He may not grade out as a first-round pick, but he could be a good second-day selection who is a plug-and-play starter in the NFL.
8/28/18: According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Jenkins checks in at 6-foot-4, 304 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in a quick 5.05 seconds. His arms measure at 34.25 inches, his hands at 10.13 inches, and his wing span at 83.38 inches.
Jenkins is a athletic and quick interior blocker who has been very impressive for the Bulldogs over the past two seasons. Sources who have done some advance work for the 2019 NFL Draft say that Jenkins has impressed them and possesses early-round potential. Jenkins has good size to be a starting center in the NFL, and it will be interesting to see how he handles the change in offense under the new Mississippi State coaching staff.

I agree. Not a bad pick at all, I like it actually... I just was hoping for an explosive offensive talent with one of our top 3 draft picks

Clearly they are going to play him at guard and not center. I give more stock in what Lofton announces than what he is listed at.

If that's the case then I'm a fan of the pick.
I really liked McCoy also, but Jenkins works for me...no complaints
