Traits and athletic ability as well.  There is a lot of things that go into grading a DT other than a sack number.  If you just look at college production you are the guy that is taking Case Keenum and Timmy Chang in the first round.  If you just look at a stat sheet or a sack number that can be a fool's errand.  With that said, Kancey had very good production as well at the DT spot the last 2 years with 14 sacks, ACC Defensive Player of the Year, 2x 1st team All ACC, Unanimous All American.

It shouldnt matter imo because even if he doesnt get cut this is likely his last year here.  If a safety is at the top of your board you take him regardless if Jenkins is here or not.

Not really, because that is not a fair comparison at all. With QB's especially, you have to look at the system they came from. Both Case Keenum and Timmy Chang were very small QB's who came from the pass happy "Air Raid" offense at Houston and the "Run & Shoot" at Hawaii. They had ridiculously inflated pass stats due to the system they were in. Virtually any QB could succeed in those schemes. It's not fair at all to compare the production of DT's to QB's. There are a ton of factors in evaluations of a QB that don't have anything to do with the DT position.
