Alex Jenkins, our 104th ranked defensive end, is best suited to
be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the San Francisco 49ers because they
could use a player of this quality to play defensive end. The 49ers
currently have 7 healthy defensive ends, and 3 are
rated better than Jenkins: (Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Alex Barrett).
The 49ers currently have no
defensive ends under contract beyond the 2027 season,
so Jenkins may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
