Jenkins Kept Smoking
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...north-alabama/
Cornerback prospect Janoris Jenkins was kicked off the Florida Gators’ football team last April after three marijuana-related arrests. Jenkins opted against the NFL supplemental draft, and played his senior season for Terry Bowden at North Alabama. But Jenkins didn’t turn over a new leaf. NFL Network’s Albert Breer reports that Jenkins has revealed in pre-draft team interviews that he didn’t stop smoking at the Division II school. While the truthfulness is somewhat honorable, league executives weren’t exactly pleased to hear it. “This is a multiple offender of the drug policy in college, and it’s not like there were no character concerns at North Alabama,” one AFC personnel executive told Breer. “He had multiple opportunities to get away from it. He didn’t at Florida, and he went to North Alabama and he wasn’t clean there. … It was more of the same.” Several, if not most, NFL evaluators consider Jenkins the second best on-field cornerback prospect in the 2012 draft, behind only LSU’s Morris Claiborne. But Jenkins may not even be drafted in the first round. “He gets to North Alabama, and he’s still smoking because he’s got this big-fish, little-pond thing going,” one NFC executive said. “I don’t see him going in the first round, and a lot of teams have him off their board completely.” An AFC college scout told Breer that he doesn’t believe Jenkins is a bad guy. But he still would want no part of Jenkins in the first round of the draft. “He’s not a bad person,” said the scout. “He just makes a lot of dumb, dumb mistakes. He just smokes and [has sex], and that’s essentially what it is. … And there’s just awful decision-making associated with that. I don’t think he’s a bad person. But he has a lot of soul-searching to do. “I wouldn’t touch him in the first round.” |

Actual last year we got the two guys I hoped we picked in the first, Baldwin and Houston. I win something...
Wanted Berry too. Maybe this year I'll pull a trifecta and Pioli will like Tannehill enough to draft him. |

He also has 4 children with 3 different mothers.
Jenkins is a dumbass. Instead of rolling doobies he should have been wrapping rubbers. The dude has crazy talent. He shut down both Julio Jones & AJ Green in college.

Yeah, he is ridiculous. Absolute shut down. He's also an idiot. Not that that is a bad thing for cornerbacks. You just don't want to end up with a Pacman situation. Stupid is one thing. Idiot is completely different.

If he slips to our pick in the second round, I'd be all over it.
Imagine our secondary for a second if we drafted Barron and Jenkins with our top two picks. WOW |

I see a guy who is a solid safety, but nothing spectactular at the next level (contingent upon his hernia recovery). He's not a top ten-ish level prospect. Not by a long shot. At least to me, he's the defensive version of Ryan Tannehill - a guy being elevated due to a weak class for the position. |

I don't know shit about Jenkins but if it's just for weed, that's ok in my book. Yes, he's a dumbass because they test for it yada yada yada. But Pac Man Jones is just a terrible person and goes all thugged out at the club (alcohol) and that's what brought him down. 2 completely different things.

houston was never thrown off his team, and he dominated in the sec...seems much more likely he is smart enough to moderate his 'behavior' over the life of his career...
this guy is a world class dumbass...and if he's there in the 3rd i take him but not sooner

Speculative, yes, but I do believe that there's a line of dumbassery somewhere that Pioli has in terms of character, and Jenkins' dumbassery has probably crossed that line.
I would be surprised if this guy isn't copletely off the Chiefs board.

I don't think the Chiefs touch Jenkins before the third either. But to assume we will never go after a problem child again because of Jonathon Baldwins incident is completely blowing it out of proportion, imo. Of course, I still think Baldwin will be elite.

This guy is just a complete dumbass, and I just think he strays to far away from the profile of players that Pioli would most like to adhere to. He'll stretch it a little for talent, but I doubt he stretches it that far.

Well, scratch pretty much everything I've said about Jenkins to this point. Apparently, his level of dumbassery knows no bounds.

"and a lot of teams have him off their board completely."
I've never once believed a ridiculous statement like that. Sure, you would use your 7th round draft pick on a guy with 1st round talent.
