Chicago Bears mock draft 3.0: Added versatility

Jordan Jenkins (6-foot-3, 259 pounds), OLB, Georgia

Jenkins is not a player who is spectacular, but he is a solid player with a high football-IQ.

Having someone as solid as Jenkins playing opposite Pernell McPhee would really help the Chicago Bears. You can depend on him to be where he needs to be, and with McPhee wreaking havoc, Jenkins can clean up.

In 2015, Jenkins had 59 tackles, 10.5 for loss, and four sacks. Continuing the versatility talk, he adds that for the Bears. Fangio can play him inside or outside. He even played end at times when Georgia went to a four-man front, something Fangio does at times.

Jenkins is physical at the point of attack. He has long arms and strong hands. He does not play with blockers and sheds them pretty quickly.

Jenkins has the power to be a very good edge setter. He is a good run stopper as well, something the Bears were weak on in 2015.

Jenkins has some first round talent, but his pass rushing deficiencies knock him down. With the Chicago Bears’ situation at linebacker, he does not need to be superior. He just needs to do what is needed, and know what is going around him. He does THAT well, and he could move around on the field. Not a sexy pick, but he will help win games.
