I hadn't really heard about him 'til the notice they were going to meet with him (virtually). When you look at how many other teams have done the same thing you get the notion this guy's the real deal. Looked him up on Walter Football and he's their 9th rated OT. That could change, though, as it sounds like he could well be rated higher. No matter, if they don't re-sign TW, this is a guy they should consider taking early. I've been thinking about TW lately...and I'm at the point I almost hope they don't re-sign him. That's based on how many other players they could likely keep if they let Trent get away due to his high price tag. Some team's apt to make him an offer the Niners simply can't match. It may be worth it if they could re-sign Juszczyk, Verrett, Hyder, & K'Wuan.

But they can keep their guys. All of them. Its about guaranteed money and structure. With that said, Trent or no Trent, they need to guys on day 1 + 2 for O-line.

Plus TW/LT is arguably more important than all four of those players combined. I do believe that the delineation between left and right tackle has been further blurred over the past decade, but Jenkins is a true right tackle through and through

Like I said no bueno with arm length


who's the last OT drafted in the 1st with sub 33" arms?

Kaleb McGary? I think at 31 a couple yrs ago...I'd saying thats right around the spot where he will go, late 1st early second unless the plan is to make him a OG.

hey, let him drop to 43 and make him a guard

Sign me up, though I would shed strong tears for Landon Dickerson

I'm down for this. Have him play RG and also be insurance if McGlinchey loses his mojo completely this final season on his rookie deal.

Thorn thinks he can play RT BUT he sees him being his best at guard at the next level.

he believes most NFL teams will have him at guard

From the Athletic talking to scouts about all the prospects...

Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State (6-foot-6½, 320 pounds): Started 34 games over four seasons, including 25 at right tackle, seven at left tackle and two at right guard. "He's a big, athletic kid," said one scout. "He's got really good feet. Arms are a little short, so he may end up having to play guard." Josh Sills, a guard and grad transfer in 2020 from West Virginia, took Jenkins under his wing and got him playing harder. "This year, he played mean," said another scout. "In 2019, there were times you scratched your head and said, 'What the hell are you doing, man? Get after it.' He's got kind of a soft personality, but if you watch the 2020 film, he's not soft. Talent-wise, it's there."

Said a third scout: "He's gigantic, slow feet, marginal athlete. Just very limited with his feet and athletic ability to survive." A fourth scout didn't like his strength or feet and graded him as a free agent. "He can't take hard coaching, but he's very smart and has a mauler's mentality," said a fifth scout. "He's a 20-to-40 (draft) guy. He's got size. Plays nasty. He gets a little inconsistent, but not bad."

Back surgery before he's taken his first NFL snap is not good. Apparently a bunch of teams red-flagged him for existing back issues.
