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?

Still on Giants pick here

Michigan guy I bet.

Jackson Powers-Johnson-Oregon (2) Adonai Mitchell-Texas Troy Franklin-Oregon Zach Frazier-WVU (2) J'Tavion Sanders-Texas (2) Max Melton-Rutgers (2) Cooper Beebe-K St (2) 2C Ennis Rakestraw-Missouri Patrick Paul-Houston (3) C

I don't think we are going to get our WR in the 2nd.

Chargers move to the 2 hole?

A22 is sometimes deceiving. I just watched his highlights and you see a bunch of plays where McCarthy extends the play and Wilson finds a hole and they score. I am going to find a way to love whoever we draft.

Paul Dehner loves Wilson....I assume that he is the pick to be honest...and I do like your take with the stats point. I just don't see anything with him. TBH Malik Washington seems way better.

Would you trade 1 year of Tee for 4 years of Adonai Mitchell?

I don't see it with Wilson. I get the A22s through Dynasty Nerds and he just seems average and never had big games? I do like Franklin though on second glance. Here is my wish list Johny Newton-Illinois (1) Jackson Powers-Johnson-Oregon (2) Kool-Aid McKinstry-Alabama (2) Ladd McConkey-GA (2) (C) Cooper DeJean-Iowa (2) Adonai Mitchell-Texas Troy Franklin-Oregon Zach Frazier-WVU (2) J'Tavion Sanders-Texas (2) Braden Fiske-FSU (2) Max Melton-Rutgers (2) Cooper Beebe-K St (2) 2C Ennis Rakestraw-Missouri Patrick Paul-Houston (3) C

I wonder if we could get an early second from the Chargers for Dax Hill and a 4th/5th? They don't appear to have a great nickel back

Woah

Are they looking at 2025?

Johny Newton is the only player I wanted in the 1st who is still available

Mims is scary but I watched him and Latham back to back and was blown away my Mims and thought Latham was just blah.

5. AMARIUS MIMS | Georgia 6076 | 340 lbs. | 3JR Cochran, Ga. (Bleckley County) 10/14/2002 (age 21.53) #65 BACKGROUND: Amarius Mims grew up in the small central Georgia town of Cochran (population 5,000). It was a “football town,” and Mims was active in sports, playing both basketball and football for the Barons in middle school. He also spent a lot of time bass fishing. Mims attended Bleckley County High School, where he was a three-sport letterman. For his sophomore season, the varsity squad had two offensive tackles entrenched as starters, but Mims was t oo talented to keep off the field, so he lined up as a versatile blocking tight end (he also saw snaps on the defensive line and recorded 22 tackles). As a junior, Mims earned first team AllState honors and helped Bleckley County to a 7-4 record and a state playoff appearance. He again earned first team All-State honors as a senior and helped the team advance to the quarterfinals of the 2020 2A playoffs. Mims was selected to the 2021 Under Armour All-American Game. He also lettered in basketball and track, and he posted a personal best of 48 feet, 1 inch in the shot put. A five-star recruit, Mims was the No. 3 offensive tackle in the 2021 recruiting class and the No. 1 recruit in Georgia (ahead of his close friend QB Brock Vandagriff). He was ranked the No. 8 overall recruit nationally (one spot behind QB Caleb Williams and one spot ahead of edge rusher Dallas Turner). After his sophomore season as a blocking tight end, Georgia gave him his first scholarship offer in January 2019, when former defensive coordinator (and current Oregon head coach) Dan Lanning stopped by Bleckley County to hand deliver the news. Within the next few weeks, Mims also picked up offers from Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State, Penn State and Tennessee. The summer before his senior year, he released a top six of Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee and was constantly on the road visiting those schools (went to Athens over 30 times). He committed to the Bulldogs in October 2020 and became the top-ranked recruit in head coach Kirby Smart’s 2021 class. After playing a reserve role as a true freshman, he entered the transfer portal in April 2022 and visited Florida State. However, Mims elected to remove his name from the portal after 10 days and return to Athens. Mims holds a 3.6 GPA at Georgia and is working toward his sports management degree. After three years with the program, Mims opted out of the 2023 bowl game and skipped his senior season to enter the 2024 NFL Draft. BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS 116 YEAR (GP/GS) POSITION NOTES 2021: (9/0) Enrolled in January 2021; Entered the transfer portal after the 2021 season (removed his name after 10 days) 2022: (14/2) RT First two career starts came in the 2022 College Football Playoff 2023: (7/6) RT Missed six games (left ankle); Missed bowl game (opted out) Total: (30/8) RT HT WT HAND ARM WING 40-YD 20-YD 10-YD VJ BJ SS 3C BP COMBINE 6076 340 11 1/4 36 1/8 86 3/4 5.07 2.95 1.77 25 1/2 9’3” - - - (no shuttle, 3-cone, skills — rt hamstring) PRO DAY 6076 344 11 3/8 35 3/4 86 7/8 - - - - - - - - (no workout — right hamstring) STRENGTHS: Exceptional size with evenly distributed mass on his tall, big-boned frame (body fat dropped from 25 percent when he enrolled to 17 percent as a junior) … has outstanding arm length and wingspan, making it tough to get around him … moves with impressive control for a 340-pounder … his feet and strike timing consistently stay on the same page … flashes power in his hands to latch, adjust and keep defenders at bay through engagement (Georgia defensive lineman Warren Brinson: “When he touches you, you feel it.”) … pass sets with a flat back and repeatable technique … leg drive can move interior linemen from the gap … plays with natural strength in his base and rarely finds himself inverted … appears comfortable in space, with the mobility to climb or reach outside landmarks in outside zone … wasn’t flagged for holding or a false start in college … NFL scouts say his football character is “more mature than expected” given his rare size and tools … his coaches say he cares about athletic development and body conditioning. WEAKNESSES: Only eight career starts, and his collegiate resume feels incomplete … prone to youthful habits when he drops his eyes and gets impatient … naturally high-hipped and can do a better job leveraging through engagement when fitting up run blocks … upright in pass protection … sets h ard outside and needs to stay alert to inside counters … the depth of his pass sets need some fine-tuning … missed six games as a junior after suffering a left ankle injury (September 2023), which required tightrope surgery (also exited the 2023 SEC Championship Game early with an ankle injury) … practiced at left tackle but didn’t log any in-game snaps at left tackle or guard at Georgia. SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Georgia, Mims manned the right tackle spot in offensive coordinator Mike Bobo’s balanced run scheme. Consider ed the prize of Kirby Smart’s 2021 recruiting class, he waited his turn and then missed half of the 2023 season because of injury once he became the full-time starter. Still, he played at a high level in his eight career starts (zero sacks allowed), especially against Ohio State in his first career start in t he 2022 College Football Playoff. With his remarkable physique and trim build, Mims carries 340 pounds better than anyone I have ever seen and plays with outstanding balance and arm length in pass protection (Sedrick Van Pran: “You don’t need 1,000 reps when you have his gifts from God.”). Because of tightness in his lower body, he needs continued coaching for better sustain and leverage consistency in the run game, but he creates terrific extension with the play strength to control the point of attack. Overall, Mims isn’t as far along fundamentally (especially in the run game) as other tackles in the class, but he is a natural in pass protectionwith above-average length, footwork and body twitch to handle different types of edge rushers. Though there is projection involved with his draft grade, his best football is ahead of him, and he has the talent to become a long-term starter at left or right tackle.

Taking our time......trade?

That makes sense. Unless you love Mims

I have no idea who I want.
