He'll play NT and DE. Payton said he'll primarily be a NT but will be cross trained.

I do think the hope is he'll replace Smith next year. But for this year he'll likely be the primary rotation for Bunkley and Smith. Having Jenkins doesn't change that. Jenkins will likely be in on run downs and against run heavy teams and when we are getting gashed. He's not NFL ready as a 3 down NT.

That was before they traded two 4th rounders to take a true NT. Bunkley and Jenkins are the primary NTs while Hicks will see most of his time at DE where he belongs.
