Interesting formula here for predictive measures on stats....here is the X post if you want to see it : https://x.com/SethWalder/status/1917588907375386721

But, it figures Stewart to have around 9 sacks in his 1st 3 years...

Great. Jenkins will have that many just by falling forward.

I'm still high on Jenkins. He is what we wanted in round 1 this year - a DT that had both the film and the athleticism to be a threat rushing inside. While I still wanted Nolen to beef up the DT spots, a DE was also a solid get (even if I don't agree with the exact player) - but bottom line is that I think Jenkins can still fill that rush-3 tech role.

We'll give Golden the benefit of the doubt. One argument about selecting a guy like Stewart under Golden is that while Lou failed to really develop guys, Golden hasn't been given a shot. Now, I'd prefer a more productive guy along the line going onto a defense that sorely needed production - but I won't hold Golden for the failures of the past defensive staff, which I kind of was if I'm being 100% honest...hard not to do.

Going to be very interesting to watch how all of this plays out - but I thought Hill was doing well at CB as well as Turner. If Golden can work with CTB to get some of that confidence back (or maybe he looks better at S than he does CB where he can use his ball skills more, and man coverage issues less) we'll find out, and you get McKnight in there at LB, and if Stewart can at least help in some areas - and Trey is Trey - suddenly the defense is better. Doesn't have to be top 10, just not bottom 5.

I like that Golden talks about flexing his defense based on what guys do well, and what they don't...something I feel Lou was unable to accomplish.
