I watched a few clips of the Jenkins kid out of OSU that plays OT. This kid is mean and nasty with his blocks. Has anybody else watched the kid play? He seems like a good prospect to develop and the offensive line needs an infusion of nasty. Opinions?

Could be a trade down option if they lose Sewell and both CB's. Kid is violent lol. I think I read someone he may have back issues in 2020 though

Playing in 37 career games (35 starts) at Oklahoma State, Teven Jenkins experienced time at right guard, left tackle, and right tackle. With a bulk of his experience coming at right tackle, he blossomed during his final two seasons. Playing in the first eight games of the season, he elected to opt out after suffering what was reported as lower back issues. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound fifth-year senior offensive tackle is a top-heavy blocker that has experienced success in the team's Air Raid offense. A quick setter that’s prone to take horizontal pass sets, he’s created a habit of establishing quick wins by striking his hands and controlling defenders. As a run blocker, he’s able to create considerable amounts of movement when able to gain momentum prior to engagement points. A well above average finisher, Jenkins is the type of offensive lineman that attempts to humiliate players in the opposite color jersey. The echo of the whistle doesn’t slow down his process and he continues on with his process until he wants to conclude. Jenkins' athleticism and lack of overall range may create questions about his potential at offensive tackle and there will be some teams who grade him as a guard as a result. Jenkins will have a strong chance of being the first offensive lineman drafted from the program since Russell Okung (2010).

Ideal Role: Developmental offensive tackle that could eventually turn into a starter at tackle or guard.

Scheme Fit: Man/Gap/Power.

I would prefer Sewell, Slater or Darrisaw because they can play the left side. I don't think it is likely Jenkins ends up here. And i am not buying Tyron Smith is healthy and has a long future ahead of him.

I think someone like him could be gone to Miami in round 1(pick 18).

He is a very strong player but I think he is on a lot of radars. I can see him going much earlier than some have projected. Would not shock me if he is a top 15 pick. Would not shock me if the Giants or Eagles take him.

I would be happy if Jenkins was a Cowboy
