Jenner's numbers are much better than Chipchura's, but much worse than Richards' at the same age.
I put Jenner in the same range as Scheifele, McNeill, Grimaldi, Miller, Phillips and Armia. I'd be excited to add any of those forwards to the organization. An advantage to drafting Jenner is his age. As one of the youngest players eligible for the draft, he has more potential to improve on his weaknesses.
The fact that Jenner has put up so many points, both in the playoffs and in the regular season, despite not having a reputation for being ultra skilled, leads me to believe that he has good hockey instincts and a willingness to use his size to pick up "ugly" points. I don't think that's a skill so easily learned.
