Do we have anyone on the roster or available in FA that would overcome the fact that the Bears spent a 2nd and 3rd rounder on Jenkins.
If an organization spends that much draft capital on a guy they have conviction and will in the first year, do everything possible to prove they were right.
My opinion is he will start, and I expect that cutting Leno makes it easier for them to justify letting him start at LT. Additionally, I think they want Ifedi to start at RT, and I'm not sure he is even an option for the LT position.
No one on the roster right now is an automatic for the LT position, and if they bring in a FA LT, then I believe that Jenkins will then be penciled in at RT and Ifedi will become the swing Tackle. The more I think about that the more I like it.
What I don't think will happen is that he ends up inside, unless there is and injury.
