It's in no way a knock on Jenkins who I feel is the better player, it's my theory on how the draft process works. I think Jenkins, Laurenaitis, and possibly Maualuga to an extent will be affected by returning when they were potential top 10 picks.
But it will affect Jenkins a bit due to his position the MLB's are probably not top 10 picks either way due to position.
But onto why I think that, when you have been on the radar for a long time people will forget all your positives and point out nothing but your flaws, while a late riser will have the positives reinforced while not being on the map long enough to have all of his negatives discussed nearly as much.
In the Jenkins/Davis battle I see a couple things that will hurt Jenkins, 1 he's been on the radar longer and Davis will be the late riser, when they workout I think Davis will post better numbers especially in the 40 I watched him catch Joe McKnight from behind...
The other thing that I think will factor in that some people probably don't know is that Vontae is Vernon Davis' brother, which is also why I think his workout will be stupid ridiculous good.
I think Jenkins is better but being on the radar longer, being more well known and then he likely won't post the same workout numbers at a position like CB, I think Davis has a legit chance of jumping him.
