(00:49):
made a selection in the twenty twentyfour NFL Draft. Alongside Lockdown College Football
host Spencer McLaughlin, I am toNitribatis and we are joined by Jake Lisco
of lockow On Bengals to break downthe Bengals selecting Chris Jenkins with the forty
ninth pick. So, Jake,what do you like about this pick to
add to the Bengals defensive front.The Bengals desperately needed improvement in run defense
(01:12):
and losing DJ Reader really accentuated andunderlined that need. It was in bold.
It was capitalized in terms of lookingat the Bengals needs this offseason,
and Chris Jenkins will immediately slot inas a rotational player for this team.
He doesn't need to start right away. The Bengals have starters in BJ Hill
and Sheldon Mankins who they signed fromthe Texans one ninety eight to replace another
(01:34):
ninety eight, and DJ Reader,who they lost after having him as a
free agent from the Texas for afew years. But Jenkins immediately improves their
DT three spot, should improve theirrun defense immediately, and one of the
biggest needs for this team entering thedraft was DT three. When one of
those guys had to go to thesideline for a rest and they had to
bring their first defensive tackle onto thefield, it was a noticeable and massive
(01:59):
downgrade, and it was clearly andfrequently targeted by opposing offenses. Now,
of course, like you mentioned,he won't necessarily have to start. Our
take a majority of the rubs forthe Bengals. So what are some of
those areas that maybe they can workon as they get Chris up to speed.
There's a little bit of work todo for him in the past rush
part of his game. I thinkhe's not necessarily a refined or technically diverse
(02:23):
pass rusher. The arsenal for passrush moves could stand to see some additions
and so they can bring him alongin that part of his game. But
maybe it was just that he wasn'tasked to do that at Michigan either.
He was also asked to two gapI think a fair amount at Michigan and
for Cincinnati, I think given thesize of the players they are going to
be running out on the interior defensiveline at this point with DJ Hill and
(02:44):
shelteron Amercans, none of those guysare true nose tackle bodies, and Chris
Jenkins's no extension exception to that rule. You're gonna see more one gapping from
this defensive line, and so therewill be a little bit of a transition
there for him. But I don'tthink that they're going to have to ask
him to do anything crazy. They'renot going to get ask him to go
in there and play nose and takeon double teams all the time, and
he'll have time to develop and comealong as a rotational player like he wasn't
(03:07):
Michigan and has probably a year ortwo before he'll be asked to play a
monstrous amount of snouts in that defense. More on the Bengals, Subscribe to
Lock on Bengals on YouTube or whereveryou get your podcasts. So, Spencer,
what is it that you like aboutthe dtackle out of Michigan. Yeah,
I think it's his run stuffing ability, just his ability to be a
(03:30):
presence and you know, be ableto hold his own and make a little
bit of an impact, but reallydoes not do that in the passing game.
This is not someone who the Bengalsshould be relying on to provide interior
pressure. Now he could play,you know, a little inside, a
little outside. They might be figuringout, you know, as they work
him into the rotation where he linesup best. And maybe that's what they
(03:52):
like about him, is, hey, we could see him doing this.
We could see him doing that.You just can't expect him, at least
not right away, to be ableto pressure quarterback from up the middle.
But when the Bengals' biggest need,as you heard just a moment ago,
is in the run defense department,that's where this pick makes a lot of
sense. We're continuing coverage of thetwenty twenty four NFL Draft. Subscribe to
