I also think Mekhi Wingo out of LSU is underrated and could be a steal.

I thought you said bigger?  Lol.  290, 291, and 284 are the weight on 3.   As far as Wingo, I have brought him up a few times as he might be linked here with the addition of Matt House to the coaching staff, who has been on that LSU defensive coaching staff the last few years.  I'm just not sure Baalke will want a 6' 284 lb DT

Should rephrase by what I meant to say. "Plays Bigger". I just feel like those three guys above played a lot bigger than Jenkins, had more of a consistent showing on the stat sheet as well. This doesn't mean that Jenkins can't play. I think he'll be a good player. Just depends on the scheme and supporting cast. 

We missed out on guys like Mazi Smith and Kalijah Kancey. I think we're putting too much stock on DaVon Hamilton to come back this year and be whoever it was they envisioned. Would much rather have a viable free agent scooped up in Free Agency that's more proven, consistent Vs. trying to take a chance on a rookie.

I really feel like that's my approach in general with this team. If you know you have CLEAR weaknesses on the offensive line and defensive line, especially within the interior? I would rather them overhaul some of those needs in March while prioritizing the skill positions earlier on throughout the draft. 

Go ahead and take the EDGE rusher or WR there with the 17th pick if you end up liking Jared Verse or Chop Robinson enough. Go ahead and take Brian Thomas Jr. or Keon Coleman if you feel like we need more than just Kirk, Jones, Jones & Cook, etc. if they lose Ridley to the market. 

Revisit the line again or secondary in the 2nd RD and take you a versatile player that can move and roam around a bit if needed. I just think they need to try and backfill critical areas of need in free agency Vs. playing the game of chance in April.
