Says : we couldn't get the pass rusher we wanted , so took a CB which in turn will upgrade what we already have at pass rushing. Video on NFL.Com
I don't have any doubt they were targeting CB the whole way. The final clue was 2 days before the draft, the rumors come out we are looking to trade Faneca, Ellis and Thomas thus creating an immediate need at guard, DL or LB. Total smokescreen IMO. Way to go Tanny!
I think the Jets probably take Odrick if he's on the board at 29. The defensive line is thinner than you want and all the best players on it are over 30. Sione Pouha is 31 believe it or not.
I keep forgetting that Pouha is actually older than Jenkins. We still have 2011 to rebuild our D-Line.
Older isn't the factor at NT. It's the wear and tear. Pouha only really has one significant season of being beat up, while Jenkins has about 10.
