Second Round Pick 2019, Elgton Jenkins OL

[Anti-Polar Bear]

A fucking center?

Todd was the mother of incompetence but at least he wasn’t afraid of - and excelled at - drafting WRs in the 2nd.

German Shepherd had his choice between the Ole Miss frat boies, Metcalf and AJ Brown, and he took a fucking center!!! A fucking center! Fuck!!!!! I am pissed beyond fuck.

Orangutans are smarter than Brian Gutekunst.

And uncool Pack fans called me a moron. SMH.

Pre injury dude was a top 5 OL. Will be get back? IDK but I imagine they intend to pay him and find out. Maybe he is just a top notch guard like TJ Lang and the Packers should end the experiment of tackle.

Both can be true. You can be moron and be right occasionally. In this case you were not right though. Jenkins was an absolute beast pre-injury. Top 5 G top 15 LT. Remember when I said flipping to the other side isn't just as easy as some make it out to be? I believe 2 things are the root of Jenkins issues. 1) He is still reasonably recent in terms of his injury and it takes some time. 2) For all his success moving from LG to C to LT, he only had one game on the right side. Maybe he just isn't comfortable that way. Go wipe your ass with your off and and tell me how it translates.

I wondered if Nijman could flip. I didn't realize he actually was a RT in college. It took some time but he became a top 32 LT.

Packers solution is right in front of them if MiLF can get to it. He stubbornly didn't start Jenkins as a rookie for several weeks, and now he is doing the same with Tom.

Starting OL needs to be Bak, Jenkins, Meyers, Tom, Nijman. Bak actually surprised me by getting back on the field and not being the weak link. Right now the right side is a shit show. Make it Tom and Nijman and I believe the problem is solved. Get jenkins back on the left side. Sorry Runyan.

You are bitching about a post from 4/27/2019. Maybe that says something about you that you still can't let it go 3+ years later.

APB, I didn't call you a moron, but at the time, I didn't think we had much need for a WR, especially not as high as the second round. I wasn't real thrilled with the Jenkins pick either. He certainly has been solid as a Guard, although I don't think he's ever been more than mediocre as a Tackle.

Bobblehead, I'm all for Yosh at RT. And obviously Jenkins should be at Guard. Tom over Runyan, though? Runyan has been our best O Lineman, along with Myers. If anything, flip Runyan to RG with Jenkins at LG.

Back then, I asked, the Packers have Adams and who else? Today, without Adams, who else do they have? Lazard is our #1, for fucks sake.

Metcalf would be entering his prime today had they drafted him. Would be a great replacement for Adams.

I do not get the hard-ons for the Fucking Center. Is he a better guard than tackle? Obviously. But Jenkins is pretty much is just a so-called “jack of all trades, master of none” guy. Had German Shepherd drafted Dick Dietrich, the Wisconsin Yokozuna, in the 4th instead, the drop off in performance wouldn’t be noticeable.

By now, DK would be full of Butte’s trust and catching bombs and touchdowns and fucking up defenses. But yeah, the Lazard King is our #1 while the Fucking Center struggles to block Deputy Nutz.

You said MVS was a better player than Metcalf. lol

[run pMc]

Jenkins was a good pick. Metcalf is a good player - I liked his fit in the Russell Wilson/Seattle offense and didn't know he'd be that good playing here. As it is he's outperformed my expectations. I much preferred his college teammate AJ Brown.
If you're going to bitch about that draft, how about Gute picking Jace over McLaurin? We all knew they needed new blood at receiver. Unless you find a good oversized WR like Mark Andrews or Travis Kelce or a unicorn like Gronk, when you draft a TE you're rarely getting a difference maker. McLaurin ran excellent routes, was fast, and even could play ST coming out of OSU.

MVS was not better than Metcalf and never has been, but he's not awful. You certainly argue MVS was a good pick for where he was drafted... but Metcalf is better.

[Fritz]

Jenkins was a good pick. Hard to complain there, but Run has a point about Jace Furburger. That was a dud.

[SudsMcBucky]

I liked DK coming into the draft but really feared, just by the looks of him, was that he was roided up during college and would be something much different in the NFL.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Packers have a Yokozuna who cannot block Deputy Nutz while Allen Fucking Lazard is the #1 WR on the team, and y’all think drafting the Fucking Center was a good pick, especially at a time when the Packer had Adams and a bunch of no names.

Could’ve drafted Michael Dieter in the 3rd, and the drop off in talent from Fucking Center to Dieter, would be immaterial. Dieter is a backup swing lineman for the Dolphins today. Today, Fucking Center can’t block Deputy Nutz, which means he deserves to be benched.

Meanwhile, Metcalf has blossomed into a star and Allen Fucking Lazard is the worst #1 rock catcher in the league. SMH.

[Sparkey]

Myers is not the problem. Having to always pickup Neumann's shit diapers is the problem.

Move Jenkins back to LG and Runyan to RG. Nijman played RT in college, so get his ass over there.

The issue is much larger though. Rodgers has lost his wheels and almost all his magik was dancing in the pocket and making off script throws. He is now a relatively immobile pocket passer and is unable to even evade opposing defensive tackles.

[Fritz]

Sparkey nailed it on all counts. Only it was Elgton Jenkins they picked while passing on Metcalf, not Myers.

Rodgers is approaching Brady-like mobility.

[texaspackerbacker]

Not to speak for APB, but he's always called Jenkins "the Center" which I guess was his primary position coming out of college.
