I’m sure ARod will enjoy throwing to him.

C Elgton Jenkins, Mississippi State
The one trait I value above all others along the offensive line is balance. The elite linemen in the NFL almost never finish plays flat on their face (unless they brought the defender with them). It rears its head in a number of different aspects that go into offensive line play (pass sets, location in space, etc.). For my money, Jenkins has the best balance of any interior lineman in the draft class — and it showed up in the data a number of different ways. In pass protection, he allowed all of five pressures this past season and only 19 over the last three years. It also showed up with Jenkins getting flagged once all last season, and on that play (a hold against Louisiana Tech), we didn’t even downgrade him as we saw it as a clean pancake. Combine that with ideal size for either center or guard and you’ve got a first-round grade.
Huh. So this is hella encouraging.

Mid 2nd is quite high for a G. He needs to be really good to bring back value

Need OL help. Metcalf will be a bust. Glad we didn't reach for him

Fine with it but not a sexy pick considering all the WRs that were available.

I mean, getting a plug and play OL is good, but we left a lot of game changing talent on the board.

Not who I wanted but probably gonna pan out better in the end. The PFF guys think he can be one of the best IL in the NFL. I'll take that!

I really like the pick. Lane Taylor's been put on notice. Elgton and Cole will be nipping at his heals.
Edit: Forgot about Nico Siragusa. Intrigued with how our OL is shaping up. Lot of options.

Only 2M of Linsey is guaranteed after this season. I think you are looking at their starting center after this season.

4. ELGTON JENKINS, Mississippi State (6-4 ½, 311, 5.10, 2): Fifth-year senior. “He and McCoy are very, very similar,” said one scout. “Really good football player. Good athlete. Balance, hands, feet, FBI (football intelligence). I’d say late first or second.” Started 26 games at center in 2017-’18 after making five starts at LT, two at LG and one at RG in 2015-’16. “He doesn’t have a dominant trait but he’s productive, strong, experienced,” another scout said. Longest arms (34) of the centers. Wonderlic of 19. “I like him but he has a little degree of stiffness,” a third scout said. “He’s never had a quarterback under center. If he’s going to have to step and reach (block) that’s going to be hard.” From Clarksdale, Miss.
