Bears GM Ryan Pace notably emphasized Jenkins’ ability to play the left side a curious acknowledgement with Leno supposedly entrenched at left tackle with 95 consecutive starts there.

Over the past 36 years, the Cardinals have not seen a 600-yard receiving season from a tight end. Jay Novacek, of Cowboys fame, leads the pack with 569 in 1988. Since moving to Arizona that year, the Cards have used five second- or third-round picks on tight ends most recently Rob Housler and Troy Niklas and signed the likes of Todd Heap, Jermaine Gresham, and Maxx Williams. But the franchise has long displayed apathy for this post and now employs a coach not big on tight end usage. Dan Arnold did show promise last season but became a Panther for two years and $6 million. A fascinating, half-committed search continues.
Arthur: Final 2021 NFL Mock Draft
How will the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft unfold? Senior analyst Jake Arthur tells us in his predictive mock draft.

After months of tape-watching and information-gathering, it s led us to these next few days.
Today, I m giving my one and only mock of the 2021 NFL Draft season.
For accuracy s sake, there are some picks we can be fairly confident in, but this year s draft may be one like no other due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, whether that be in terms of the information teams have (or haven t) been able to gather, players opting out of the last season, etc.
While we’ve heard little from the New York Jets’ camp about Wilson being the pick, it seems like it’s a foregone conclusion at this point. Wilson’s going to be a New York Jet on Thursday.
Are all signs pointing to this pick being Mac Jones? Yes. Will I fight this tooth and nail until the very end? You better believe it. Lance and Jones aren’t on the same planet as prospects, in this analyst’s opinion, and the 49ers would be out of their minds to trade away as much as they did to move up for Jones. Lance is a perfect scheme fit and he does everything that Jones does, just at a higher level.
