Just given the nature of playing guard in the NFL, Elgton Jenkins really has no chance of winning Offensive Rookie of the Year. In fact, outside of Wisconsin, I'm not sure that many NFL fans even know who Elgton Jenkins is. But with his play this season, at a minimum, he should be in the [...]

O-linemen rarely get the recognition they deserve. They only get noticed when they screw up.

To be fair, he hasn’t been given a lot of playing time. He started off having to play behind the Smith’s. Difficult as a rookie to take the starting spot from either of them. I do think that pick could’ve been used at a different position, though. Maybe he will turn it on & get on the field more.

Very happy with Jenkins though. Judging by his build & athleticism, I’d say he could fill in at tackle if push came to shove.

Gary and Burks both appear to have been poor selections...alas. With and aging Bulaga and limited depth, we are going to need a couple of more standout OL picks

I'm not saying Gary ever will develop, but with how raw he is, you got to realize he's not going to be a finished product in the first two years... just no way.

And that's true for a number of Gute's great athletic picks, great athletes that have a chance to develop into great players if they get time and fix the problems with them, that made them drop in the first place.

To be fair, he hasn’t been given a lot of playing time. He started off having to play behind the Smith’s. Difficult as a rookie to take the starting spot from either of them. I do think that pick could’ve been used at a different position, though. Maybe he will turn it on & get on the field more.

I mean I have argued you need three pass rushers as they need to rotate and in case of injuries, but that pick was clearly looking three years down the road, if not 5, past the Smith contracts.

BUT the guy's lack of physical style made him look more like a great track guy, than football player... I just don't think he's mentally tough enough to maximize his great athletic gifts in the NFL. I think he still has potential, but he's competing with Safeties in coverage, or needs to get better physical and learn to wrap up, because his tackle attempts too often only put himself on the ground.
