2nd Round Picks: Quick, Jenkins, Peade

[Loyal]

So what do you guys think? The PD Board is exploding, as mancrushes die. I don't know these guys,
except that Jenkins was kicked out of a 1A school (for drugs?), but with huge talent. Rate the 2nd Round

I'm not the guy who knows the evals, but I've heard that Quick hadn't had a position coach until he got to the Senior Bowl. With that in mind, some say his production is surprising, but also that he could be raw.

Peade was rated here (on ROD) as a third rounder. Jenkins sounds like one of Fisher's talent over character issues picks.

That's all I got. Everyone else is in Chat--see tabs at very top.

I LOVE what this FO is doing in this draft!

Love Rams pick of Pead. Runner-receiver. Can also align at WR. Some similarities to McCoy coming out of Pitt (remember he was 2nd rd pick).

Well that's a start. Now *never* do anything else he did either. If he can keep his nose clean, it'll pay off dividends for a long time. I'm in the process of watching full games of him now, and he's certainly no liability in coverage or making tackles.

Yes, Jenkins has some off field issues but he is a top 10 talent. I hope he hit rock bottom when he left Florida.

The "I never shot up a strip club" line is hilarious.

With the CB's they added tonight this secondary is scary good. That and the rebuilt D Line should be able to control games and help win the field position battle.

Got to like what their doing, seems to be a plan and sticking to it. There will be vet Guards and OLB's available after the draft into training camp. A back up DE is also a need.

Agreed, I laughed at the line.

I think that Jenkins can be good, like I said in the chat, if Fisher can keep Fattsworth in check for the most part, he can get Jenkins.. Plus surrounding him with good character guys like Long, JL, Quinn, Finnegan, etc.. He'll have a good group of guys around him to keep him in check. Even though Spags isn't here, his 4 pillars philosophy will have an effect, and it allows Fisher to make a "riskier" pick knowing that the guys in the locker room around him can help out.

The defense should be very improved after these picks. And if Quick can develop into the talent we hope he can be, we're in a good position.

What was Janoris Jenkins' wonderlic?

 

[steferfootball]

“It’s weird because I had those kids while I was playing college football and it didn’t affect me not once,” Jenkins said. “I’m proud to have my four kids. If they want to throw that in my face, so be it. Everybody has kids. Where in the book do it say you can’t have kids? It doesn’t say that in the law. I’m a great father. I’m there whenever they need me.”

As a preface, I'm not a father, but the bolded seem to contradict each other. I think he may need to learn to bite his tongue a little bit. But some of the stuff he says is hilarious, and if he busts, he will provide comedic relief that we have not seen since Mardy Gilyard.

Thanks for posting.

Based on that:

Good change of direction, balance, patience, vision, and doesn't stray from contact.

Bad pass blocker. Doesn't seem to be physical enough or something. I know he is small, but there are good small blockers.

edit: Reminds me of Kendal Hunter (a guy I really liked last year). Really knows and works the seams of defenses well.

So how do you cover up that issue for RBs as they develop their pass-blocking? We can still get very creative with him on offense. Schotty is gonna love that, didnt have that type of RB playmaker in NY.

I didn't embed cause it kinda slows down the page load...it is Janoris Jenkis vs Julio Jones and AJ Green when JJ was with Florida. A good example of him vs elite talent. I'm watching it now.

I donno. Those smaller backs that catch outta the backfield can be effective third down backs...but they have to be able to block to do so. Blocking isn't Steven Jackson's strength either, so the importance is even greater.

I think adding a little to his frame could help him. Probably could help him for the length of an NFL season anyways.
