I have just scored a huge value pick, a player that I thought was an outside shot of a top 5 pick before the Combine, and has definitively been a top ten pick not just this year, but last year as well, for a position of extreme need on this hurting Saints D.
Jenkins projects. He projects as a bigger corner who can play with the possession types. He projects as a corner who can keep up with all but the speediest of speed demons. He even projects as a safety, making him one of the safest picks in the entire Draft. He's played at an elite level with an elite program whose prospects pan out far more often than they don't, Gholston be damned. And I NEVER let a poor Combine affect how I have felt about this player for two years.
The Saints get the stud they want. Vontae Davis was also an option here, but I think Jenkins is the safer pick for a team looking to get good on defense, and quick.
With the 14th pick in the NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select CB Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State.
The Texans are on the clock.
