McShay Has Us Taking Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio St.

Although the story is about QBs, not Jenkins, and it is an Insider column (you can see through pick 16 without being an Insider), I thought I would post this because Jenkins is not a name I've seen bandied about much.

Since I liked the idea of drafting Vontae Davis, I'd support this pick as well. He's a much safer choice than Davis - less upside but less risk. He'd do the same thing for us that I suggested with Davis. He'd be insurance if Dunta can't be signed to an extension or if Dunta just can't come all the way back. Plus, if Dunta does stay around, the Texans could conceivably have one of the best CB duos in the NFL within a few years. That then opens up your defense to take more risks knowing you've got two solid corners at the back line.

Note that the run on LBs (other than Curry) hasn't started so any of the USC linebackers would also be there. Note, too, that Michael Oher is still there so the Texans could have some trade-down options at that point.

Just more April thoughts to mull over.
