if the pats are going to go after someone like jenkins late in round 2, may as well grab kenrick ellis instead.
I just think wilkerson has the value late in the first round.......the only thing that dareus and fairley have over him are that they played in the SEC
I like Ellis quite a bit. He's a nose tackle and 340 pounds. The last I checked we just signed a pro bowl NT to a long term deal named Wilfork. I wouldn't argue at all if they went that route though. Having Ellis and Wilfork in certain alignments is appealing in many ways. Not to mention the depth. He is definately a Patriots type pick.
My reasoning for Jenkins is he translates to a DE/DT hybrid much better than someone like Ellis. He can line up as a 3 or 5 technique in 43 or 34 defense. He also played some NT too. He's the ideal replacement for Warren. Not to mention the depth he brings is enormous. Probably one of the most underrated players helping to pave the way for guys like Bowers and Sapp the last few years. For me personally, he is an ideal Patriot.
Also...For if whatever reason BB decides to get a wild hair and decide to draft the entire offensive line all over again and bypass DE in the first round and pick 33 all together, that he would atleast consider drafting Jenkins with 60 or 74
