JJ McCarthy got things started at No. 10 overall on day one of the NFL Draft. Now, two of his buddies are off the board as well.
Michigan sent a record 18 prospects to the NFL Combine back in late-February, early-March and three of them are now off the board. Quarterback JJ McCarthy Got things started in the first round going to the Minnesota Vikings at No. 10 overall. Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins heard his name called next on night No. 2 in Detroit as he was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with pick No. 49.
“Possesses rare pedigree with a college football national title under his belt and a father who was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. Jenkins has a smaller frame for his position, but he plays with good strength in one-on-one power swaps. He can neutralize single blocks but has trouble fighting back to muddy his gap against double-teams. His motor stays engaged. He’s frequently running down ball-carriers and chasing quarterbacks by the end of the play.
“Reliable and tough with the athleticism and upside to keep getting better as a nickel corner. Sainristil is a former receiver who plays with surprising field awareness and attention to detail as a zone defender. He has the twitch and footwork to stay connected with routes in man coverage but needs more experience at the position to operate with better recognition and feel for the routes.
