His boisterous personality should go well with BJ Hill

from CBS Sports Rating: 83.40 (Starter) Summary Kris Jenkins does a good job holding his ground in the run game but could still stand to add mass. He needs to develop more pass-rush moves and create a better pass-rush plan. There is some stack-and-shed ability in the run game. His athletic qualities and NFL pedigree suggest he could improve as an interior rusher.

Kris Jenkins KRIS JENKINS MICHIGAN DT Prospect Info COLLEGE Michigan HOMETOWN CLASS Olney, MD R-Junior HEIGHT 6’ 3’’ WEIGHT 299 lbs ARM 34’’ HAND 9 3/8’’ Overview Possesses rare pedigree with a college football national title under his belt and a father who was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. Jenkins has a smaller frame for his position, but he plays with good strength in one-on-one power swaps. He can neutralize single blocks but has trouble fighting back to muddy his gap against double-teams. His motor stays engaged. He’s frequently running down ball-carriers and chasing quarterbacks by the end of the play. Jenkins flashes more rush talent than his sack production would indicate, but he still needs to work on developing more go-to moves to pair with his spin counter. Jenkins isn’t a natural two-gapper, but he can play upfield or read-and-react football on the next level as an eventual starter capable of creating disruptions. Strengths NFL bloodlines; Jenkins’ father, Kris, was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. Excelled in playoff matchups against lines from Alabama and Washington. Consistently first in with hands, playing the block before the block plays him. Hustle and quickness to close running lanes two gaps away. Holds ground against single blocks and can tackle what is in his gap. Relentless pass-rusher energy, utilizing active hands/feet to find openings. Possesses legitimate spin counter to bolster his rush plan as a pro.

Fuck you Miami !!! They took my Patrick Paul.

Kris talking with Chris Simms

He's faster than you might think

Both of the Bengals picks are National Champions (Mims twice, Jenkins once). And Zac did say he wants "Winners".

I wonder if the Bengals would have taken Maason Smith if he didn't go right before their pick as they had him in for a visit as well. Either way it doesn't matter now. Time to root for "The Mutant" Kris Jenkins.

What CBS Sports said after the pick ... Kris Jenkins DL, MICH Height: 6-3, Weight: 305 Case for the best run defender in the class at DT. Minimal pass-rush ability because of average-ish burst. Strong, block-shedding ability. High-floor without much upside but exactly what Cincinnati needs on the defense. (Chris Trapasso)

Nicknamed THE MUTANT

I predict Bengals will take Sainristil.

Raiders just took him.

Fuck Las Vegas! First they steal Bowers. Now they take JPJ.

5 picks away ... I am hoping for Maason Smith, Rakestraw, JPJ, Frazier, or Sainristil.

Yes. To me, Maason Smith is the "Mims" of DTs ... 6'5 and has 35" arms. If he doesn't tear his ACL in college, I think he's a top 15 pick based on his rare body type and potential.

Callahan is copying Zac's blueprint for size by drafting Latham and Sweat with his first 2 picks. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. But still, fuck you Brian!

Cooper DeJean is going to be a game changer for the Eagles. I'm glad he's in the NFC.

NOOOO !!! Fuck you Philadelphia !!!

Short Kings need not apply

I don't understand how any Bengals fan could be unexcited about this pick? 🤔
