He is a big dude that has potential. His bad rep comes from him getting thrown out from Penn State. He partied too much with a frat. I dont know, if people consider him the best nose tackle in the draft it would be a solid choice
It's funny, for a LONG damn time, I was really on the "Jets need to draft a NT early this draft" bandwagon. But a lof of the TGG braintrust has finally convinced me this is not the way to go and now I keep reading this, so I'm pissy. I like the kid out of Hampton, though some mocks don't have him lasting to us in the third so now I'm freak torn!
Jenkins had always battled weight problems as well. Its one of the reason wew got him so cheap to begin with. If they feel he's the guy put similar weight related clauses in his contract and move forward.
At this point, if a front 7 player tops your board when you come on the clock, you make the pick and walk away. I have my doubts that Taylor would be the top of the jets draft board at 30, but if he is its really a no brainer. Trading back also requires another team to desiare to move up, who do you expect to want to jump back into the end of round one?
