For you guys seeing Jenkins as a deep threat, hit the brakes.

He fits an even bigger need my opinion. He consistently creates space sideline to sideline short to intermediate. He finds soft spots in zones. He also has the speed to take the top off if asked.

Think Victor Cruz.

One thing about Jenkins, he would disappear at times. And he drops a few gimmies as well. But alot of upside there. I never got a chance to see how he handled press coverage so that will be a question mark going foward as well. But I understand what Baalke saw in him. Kid's got a ton of talent.

Very much this. Actually, he reminds me of Greg Jennings. But I never thought Jennings was as good as Jenkins was in college. I slept on Jennings bad, lol.

Seriously why the hell did we pick a 4th round guy over Hill or Fleener ? I'm so freaking pissed off . I would rather have one of those two guys then this fool . Dam it sf , just why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jennings was a beast in college, but I still never thought he would develop into what he is now.

As I watch Jenkins on film, I see a more athletic Wes Welker, which is a good thing. He has very solid hands, and runs a lot of different routes. Also, ignore a lot of the missed passes because his QB was absolutely TERRIBLE.

Also, I predicted that Fleener, Hill, Upshaw, and Janoris would all fall out of the first round.

Baalke selecting AJ over guys like Hill, Randle, and Jeffry really tells me that they like him a lot, and see him fitting in nicely.

phlysac · 04-26-2012, 11:12 PM

If Jenkins can create consistent separation in the slot, it will make Crabtree, Manningham, and VD SO MUCH MORE dangerous.

Jeffery doesn't fit the offense, and I don't know what they didn't like about Hill but Jenkins will contribute a lot earlier than Hill. The fact that Hill didn't go in the first round shows that NFL teams aren't as high on him as we are.

I'm kinda happy Hill didn't go in the first because I get frustrated with how everyone overrates players after the Combine EVERY year, even after they say the Combine is a SMALL part of the equation.

Gotta love that Baalke stays true to himself and to his board...

Quote:

Baalke was so confident in Jenkins that last night he put Jenkins' name in an envelope, sealed it and told the coaches and scouts around him, "This is the guy we're going to take."

But Baalke said he worried that another team would have come in and taken Jenkins before the 49ers. "He would have gone a lot sooner tomorrow than a lot of people think," Baalke said.

Think Victor Cruz.

He's smart and not afraid to play in the middle of the field. I worry about his size, but maybe, like Victor Cruz, he'll be smart enough to find ways to not take big hits... I remember Cruz pissing me off in the NFC Championship game. Catching several 6-8 yard passes, getting a few more yards, and hitting the deck before we could put a solid hit on him.

Edit: wasnt sure of Cruz's size. He's listed as 6 ft 204 lbs. Jenkins is 6'1 190 lbs. Oh and his full name is Alfred Alonzo Jenkins.

You guys keep laughing but I just don't why they keep taking guys lower rank them so . Hill would have been a good WR in our offense but oh well. I don't hate the pick for wide out just the person who we picked. Way to early IMO. If he went in round two I wouldn't be so mad . I will just have to wait and see if the guy is worthily of a first round pick.

That's the thing. He wasn't lower ranked to them. He was the guy they wanted. PERIOD.

Quote:

“Trent Baalke last night put his name in an envelope and said ‘This is who were going to pick,’” Harbaugh said. “We all agreed on it and it held true. That was the guy we wanted and that was the highest player on the board when the time came to pick him.”

Said Baalke: “If we decided to trade back there was a good chance we would have lost him. If you like the player, take him.”

Hill is still on the board, so what is your point? Realistically, he could still be a Niner....

You're doing it wrong.

One more note on Jenkins.....explosive athlete. 38.5" vertical, 10'4" broad jump. Couldnt find his 10 yard split. 4.12s in the short shuttle and 6.73s in the 3-Cone. He has top notch triangle and agility numbers to go with great production and solid game film.

RT @SI_PeterKing Just talked to one team with a receiver need who liked first-round stunner AJ Jenkins over Michael Floyd.

One Bengals beat writer tweeted that Marvin Lewis went out of his way to talk about how much he loved AJ Jenkins on his post round 1 draft conference call.

I have no problem with the AJ Jenkins pick.

Honestly, I was very concerned with the Aldon pick last year and much more than the Jenkins pick this year. Our FO knows what they're doing. Not concerned one bit. I'm actually really excited about the skill set that AJ brings to the field.

Everyone wanted a big guy (Fleener/Hill) to get open on 3rd downs, but Jenkins does that with his route running. We now have a 3rd down target just like Victor Cruz.
