44th ELGTON JENKINS MISSISSIPPI STATE C

[Do7]

This news pleases me.

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?

They'll play him at OG and he'll back up at C. We can stand an OG upgrade opposite Turner, all the more important if Bulaga goes down once again with Turner moving to OT.

Note: According to nfl.com, the "g" in Elgton is silent, pronounced "Elton".

Here's one opinion on him:

Not sure how I feel about the silent "G" in his name, but that aside, I'm happy with this one.

In 1200 snaps in his college career, he gave up 3 sacks.

This one is befuddling, and not because it's an OL pick but not because it's a Center when we needed either a G or RT.

I wouldn't be surprised if he could play backup G for Lane Taylor or Turner/McCray. But we need to get Bulaga out of here so I suggest this OL be fixed by getting a new RT.

 

[thisisnate]

he can play guard, turner can play tackle
we have options when bulaga's leg falls off

I'm hoping he plays center and Lindsley can try out for guard. And back up center.

He has played g, t and.. He will start somewhere

 

[rodell330]

I like the pick. This guy will not see time at center but at guard. He was drafted to eventually replace Lane on that left side. He’s tough and DURABLE.

Lindsley will stay put. This guy can play all over apparently

I suppose that's possible. I'd say the idea is to fix what's broke and not what's not.

 

[gopkrs]

I'm not the big fan of Lindsley like everyone else. That has all been wishful thinking imho and now we maybe have the real deal.

Read the whole thread. You will see he has played every ol position except RG. He wasn’t drafted to play center but could be a backup there.

Not a very common view. What's your issue with Lindsley?

Replacing Taylor will be good news, so one need addressed for sure. I'm guessing he probably excels more in the interior as opposed to OT. It's too bad Jawaan Taylor was off the board or we'd have had an instant upgrade over Bulaga there.

For some reason Packer fans have always had love affairs with the OL. I have not liked our running game for quite awhile now and though I don't blame that on Lindley; I don't think he helps. Not any push around the goal line and drafted (probably late) in the fifth round. This guy is 2nd round and early and I have always thought a great center makes the whole line better.

Hey Rodell! What did you think of the first two picks? I didn't see you comment on those.

Just saw that not only is Jenkins a great run blocker, he only gave up 3 sacks in 4 years

Wow. How many snaps was that?

 

[PackAttack12]

Me like.

 

[Mondio]

Very solid pick.
