21. MCKINNLEY JACKSON | Texas A&M 6014 | 326 lbs. | 4SR Lucedale, Miss. (George County) 12/26/2001 (age 22.33) #3 BACKGROUND: McKinnley Jackson was born and raised in Lucedale and often lived with his grandmother as both of his parents spent time in and out of prison. Jackson started to blossom with sports, especially football, because of his size. He was so dominant in middle school that he was moved up to the varsity team at George County High School in eighth grade. Jackson was a four-year starter on varsity and posted remarkable production for a defensive tackle. He tallied 60 tackles, 30.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and five forced fumbles as a freshman. As a sophomore, Jackson finished with 81 tackles, 36.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks and seven forced fumbles as a sophomore. As a junior, he finished with a career high in tackles (91) and sacks (11.5). Jackson was named the 6A Mississippi Mr. Football as a senior with 76 tackles, 37.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks and one forced fumble. After subpar finishes in 2017 and 2018, Jackson led George County back to the playoffs in 2019 and was named a U.S. Army All-American. He finished his prep career with 308 tackles, 135 tackles for loss, 48 sacks and 16 forced fumbles. A four-star recruit, Jackson was the No. 9 defensive tackle in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 1 recruit in Mississippi (one spot ahead of CB Emmanuel Forbes). He was the No. 62 recruit nationally. Jackson received his first scholarship offer at age 12, when Louisiana offered in eighth grade. It didn’t take long for SEC programs to take notice, and Ole Miss and Auburn offered him toward the end of his freshman year. Jackson originally committed to LSU midway through his sophomore season, but he decommitted a few months later and reopened his recruitment. He attended multiple camps throughout SEC country and ultimately committed to Texas A&M over Alabama, Auburn and LSU. Jackson was the No. 6 recruit in head coach Jimbo Fisher’s 2020 recruiting class (one spot behind RB De’Von Achane). Jackson opted out of the 2023 bowl game and accepted his invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl.

WEAKNESSES: His second and third steps don’t match his first step … feet stall out too quickly once blockers lock on … snap anticipation runs hot and cold (jumped offside on the 2023 Miami tape) … doesn’t look natural when attempting to patch together rush moves … inconsistent backfield vision and often late to diagnose the play design … can be moved by double teams and when caught out of position … missed almost half of his junior season because of an elbow injury (September 2022) … arrested on drug charges (August 2021), including possession of a controlled substance, and suspended for the first two games of the 2021 season … averaged just 35.8 defensive snaps per game in 2023, as the coaches tried to keep him fresh. SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Texas A&M, Jackson was the nose tackle in former defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin four-man front, playing primarily over the Agap. He was drawing early-round draft grades from NFL scouts the summer before the 2023 season, but his final season in College Station was uneven in b oth production and performance. Jackson has the long arms and initial burst to rudely slam his hands into blocks, displaying contact balance and natural strength to hold the point. Though he flashes explosion out of his stance, his momentum quickly stalls out once he meets any resistance, lacking the pass rush moves/counters to easily shed and disrupt the backfield. Overall, Jackson has a desirable nose tackle body type with his arm length, low center and raw power, but his disjointed hand usage and positional instincts are concerns for his next-level transition. He is a candidate to provide depth as a shade in a 4-3 front. GRADE: 6th-7th Round

I liked Boyd more but Jackson is solid. Our war room seems to make way more sense. Some of these other teams have rows and rows of computers....makes no sense.

I think we love Jacob Cowing

I love Malik Washington. I didn't want to double dip on WRs but I would for him.

17. JERMAINE BURTON | Alabama 6002 | 196 lbs. | 4SR Calabasas, Calif. (Calabasas) 6/28/2001 (age 22.83) #3 BACKGROUND: Jermaine Burton, who has an older sister (Sienna Borho), grew up in the Atlanta area. He started playing football at the youth level and later trained with Terrence Edwards, the former Georgia receiving great. After attending middle school in Marietta, Ga., Burton enrolled at Hapeville Charter High School outside of Atlanta in 2016 and created recruiting buzz as a freshman. For his sophomore season, he transferred to football powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where he was teammates with several future NFL players (CB Greg Newsome, Edge Nolan Smith and OT Evan Neal). He finished 2017 with 14 catches for 332 yards and three touchdowns. Feeling homesick, Burton returned to the Atlanta area in the spring of 2018 and enrolled at Marietta Hi gh School. However, he was deemed ineligible under Georgia high school rules, and he was forced to examine out-of-state options. Along with his mother (Sheri) and sister, Burton moved to Southern California prior to the 2018 season to enroll at Calabasas High School. He joined a wide receiver depth chart that included highly recruited receivers Johnny Wilson and Mycah Pittman (and he was coached by former NFL receiver Curtis Conway). Burton accounted for 40 catches for a team-best 863 yards (21.6 average) and 14 touchdowns as a junior. He earned All-Area honors and helped Calabasas to a 10-win season in 2018. After initially announcing that he would transfer back to IMG as a senior, Burton ultimately returned to Calabasas for his final season. A four-star recruit, Burton was the No. 15 wide receiver in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 9 recruit in California (two spots ahead of Wilson). During his freshman year in February 2017, Florida became the first program to offer him a scholarship, followed by Auburn, Georgia and Alabama. After his sophomore season, Burton committed to Miami in December 2017, but he decommitted six months later. He was named the wide receiver MVP of The Op ening Atlanta Regional in the spring of 2018 and had a final six of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Tennessee and UCLA. Towards the end of his junior year in April 2019, he committed to LSU. However, Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart continued to recruit him, and the opportunity to play close to home led to Burton fl ipping to Georgia on signing day (his mother and sister relocated back to Georgia after his commitment). He was the No. 6 recruit in Smart’s 2020 class. After two seasons in Athens, Burton elected to transfer to Alabama for the chance to play with QB Bryce Young. (Burton: “I was just trying to make the best decision I can for me and my family.”) He accepted his invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl but was unable to participate because of injury.

WEAKNESSES: Slender body type with lean muscle tone … physical defensive backs can reroute him and get him off his track … unenthused as a blocker, and his middling functional strength is evident … late to key coverages and needs more disciplined rhythm as a route runner … didn’t return kicks/punts or play on specialteams coverages in college … battled through a foot injury in October 2023 and missed one game as a sophomore because of a groin injury (October 2021) … picked up a reputation as an undisciplined player (swung at a female Tennessee fan during a postgame field-storming celebration, unsportsmanlike penalty vs. Texas A&M in 2023), and NFL scouts say he had “up and down moments” with the coaching staffs at both Georgia and Alabama … attended six different schools over the last eight years … never reached 800 yards receiving in a season. SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Alabama, Burton lined up as the Z receiver in former offensive coordinator Tommy Rees’ run-heavy scheme. After two seasons at Georgia, he transferred to Tuscaloosa and led the Tide in receiving yards in 2022 and 2023, finishing as one of just seven FBS players to average more than 20.0 yards per catch in 2023. Grading only on his play speed and raw flashes, Burton has early-round talent, because of his silky body control to track the ball cleanly at all three levels and snatchthe ball outside his frame. However, his ability didn’t consistently equate to on-field production (only five career 100-yard receiving performances), and his undisciplined tendencies will be a turn off for some teams. Overall, Burton underperformed in college and still has maturing to do, but he has NFL -level athleticism and ball skills, which make him worth the gamble on draft weekend. He will be a better pro than college player — if he stays football-focused. GRADE: 3rd-4th Round (No. 100 overall)

He punched a woman in the face. We needed a player who had done that after getting rid of Mixon. I liked his tape but after knowing that and watching some interviews he seems kind of like a d bag....so I took him off. Hope he makes it.

Double up with Roman Wilson there.

Jenkins writeup on freaks list . Kris Jenkins, Michigan, defensive tackle The Wolverines defensive line under Jim Harbaugh and strength coach Ben Herbert has been a gold mine for the Freaks List, and Jenkins is next in line. The former three-star recruit, the son of former NFL star Kris Jenkins, arrived in Ann Arbor at 257 pounds, and he played last season in the mid-280s. He made 54 tackles, 3.5 TFLs and had 20 QB pressures. According to PFF, he led all defensive linemen in the country in run stops. But people inside the Michigan program think he’s now ready to take a huge step forward as an impact guy. He’s up to 307 pounds and is more powerful and explosive than ever. He did 32 reps of 225 on the bench and did 760 pounds on the combo twist. Only last year’s top Freak, Mazi Smith, some 30 pounds heavier, did more slinging around 800 pounds. ADVERTISEMENT Jenkins recently did a Turkish get-up with a 170-pound dumbbell — the heaviest Herbert has ever witnessed. Jenkins does pull-ups with a 100-pound weight strapped to his waist. He also moves incredibly well for being a 300-plus pounder, running a 7.16 3-cone, a 4.33 shuttle, broad-jumping 9-8 and vertical-jumping 34 inches. Jenkins’ shuttle and 3-cone times are both almost two-tenths of a second faster than the quickest interior defensive lineman did at this year’s NFL combine. His broad jump would be tied for the best. His vertical jump would be second-best, and only Smith topped his number on the bench press. “He’s the mutant of all mutants,” Harbaugh tells The Athletic. “He just keeps going and going. He’s No. 1 in our KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). He’s over 300. He’s the poster child for enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Watch him become a top-10 pick.”

3. KRIS JENKINS | Michigan 6026 | 299 lbs. | 4JR Olney, Md. (Our Lady of Good Counsel) 10/10/2001 (age 22.54) #94 BACKGROUND: Kristopher “Kris” Jenkins grew up in Maryland, and he also spent time in North Carolina and New Jersey after his father’s NFL career. His father (Kris Sr.) and mother (Shadeeka DeLotch) shared custody of him throughout childhood. With a father and uncle in the NFL, Jenkins naturally developed an interest in football at a young age, spending time in pro locker rooms and participating in youth events. Once he moved back to Maryland, Jenkins played for the Columbia Ravens in elementary school (he wanted to be a wide receiver when he started playing) and then the Mohoco Lions in middle school. He enrolled at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic High School in Olney and was a three-year varsity letterman at tight end and defensive end. After earning second team All-Conference honors as a junior, Jenkins was named first team All-Metro and All-Conference as a senior captain. He finished with 40 tackles, 19.0 tackles for loss, 15.0 sacks and three forced fumbles (one returned for a touchdown), which earned him conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. Jenkins helped Our Lady of Good Counsel to a 9-3 record and the 2019 conference championship. He was also a member of the school choir. A three-star recruit, Jenkins was the No. 21 strongside defensive end in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 19 recruit in Maryland. At the start of his junior year, he received his first scholarship offer (Rutgers), followed by offers from Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, North Carolina, Northwestern and Penn State after the 2018 season. Michigan offered him before his senior year, and he committed soon after a visit in July 2019. Jenkins was the No. 21 recruit in the Wolverines’ 24-man class (one of four Maryland natives in the class, including RB Blake Corum). His father (a Michigan native) played defensive tackle at Maryland and was a second-round pick (No. 44) in the 2001 NFL Draft. He played 10 seasons in the NFL (2001-10) for the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets and made four Pro Bowls. Kris Jenkins Sr.’s younger brother (Cullen) went undrafted in the 2003 NFL Draft out of Central Michigan but played defensive line for 14 seasons in the NFL (2003-16), winning Super Bowl XLV with the Green Bay Packers. Kris Jenkins elected to skip his senior season and enter the 2024 NFL Draft.

McCarthy: “He’s got a spirit inside of him that can’t be kept in.”) … started every game the last two seasons, playing through injuries … has a better understanding of what it takes to play professional football based on his upbringing and NFL bloodlin es. WEAKNESSES: Not very broad and lacks ideal length (likely maxed out right around 300 pounds) … negative reps were usually a result of him getting caught high with his pad level … can be turned and uprooted by double teams … inconsistent rush plan and counter measures … looks to use an inside swim move or hand swipe, but his move-to-move transitions lack cohesion … below-average backfield production over his career and never had better than 2.0 sacks in a season … battled an eye infection for six weeks during the 2023 season and had limited vision out of his right eye, which affected his play … averaged just 27.9 defensive snaps per game in 2023 (down from 38.3 snaps per game in 2022). SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Michigan, Jenkins lined up primarily over the B-gap in defensive coordinator Jesse Minter’s front, also sliding outside to more of a five-technique role at times. With justeight of his 112 career tackles coming in the backfield, his stat sheet in college is underwhelming, but his impact on tape and in the locker room was what made him an All-American and team captain for the 2023 national champions. The son of a 360-pound NFL Pro Bowler, Jenkins is built differently than his father, but he competes with similar energy and awareness and controls blocks with his hands (his nickname is “The Mutant”). As a pass rusher, he is forceful through gaps, but his pad level, pass-rush plan and move transitions need further development. Overall, Jenkins might never be a high-production interior player, but he is light on his feet and heavy with his hands with the “do my job” mentality that NFL defensive coordinators appreciate. He projects as an NFL starter as a one-gapping tackle on the interior or two-gapping strongside defensive end. GRADE: 2nd Round (No. 36 overall)

Jenkins has 4 career sacks....

How do you block people again?
