I would be stunned if Jenkins replaces Leno in 2021.  I just hope he can win the RT spot.  You just never know with rookies.  If Jenkins can master RT then and only then do you think about sliding him to LT in 2022.

Mustipher got a lot of praise coming in at center when he did but I was never sold on him.  His PFF grade is low.  He's young and maybe just needs another year, but if Daniels (or Whitehair) has to go to center then that opens the door for Ifedi or better yet Bars to play RG.

Slightly shocking that Dallas doesnt think Jenkins can beat out Leno.   

Ok so now we have about 12 right tackles

Haven’t heard anything from the team about moving Jenkins to LT.

According to Thayer coaches should be able to tell pretty quickly if he has the balance and skills to switch.

Problem is you can screw up a guy’s mechanics so he’s not ready to start at all.

Ifedi blew chunks at right guard, was much better at tackle.

I think the Bears maybe heard you. They drafted their 7th guard on the roster for you in round 5. Woo Hoo!

Oh and they dont believe in drafting Offensive Tackles

If you read that interview Jenkins said he's always played the right side including guard but has been open to playing the left side.  A couple practices against Khalil Mack and the Bears will be able to point out his defeciencies.

Bears pick RB Khalil Herbert - 5'9 small RB.

Bears pick Dazz Newsome WR. 5-10, 190 North Carolina
