If we trade down, Jenkins is on the board, and we take a different CB, I am going to want someone's head on a stake

Jenkins is not the best CB in the draft. I am reading reports that scouts consider him a cover two only CB. Cover 2 CBs are considered to be inferior CBs, think Phillip Buchanon. He was a bust until he got into the Tampa 2 defense.

I am fine with trading down if a suitable candidate can be found. That may not be so easy this year. If not, I still say Laurainitis would be a good fit at #15.

I would say that my biggest problem with Jenkins is that he looks like he feels entitled. Perhaps he has seen his name in the top 10 and feels like he is the man. There just isn't enough in his game for me to buy into the hype. In fact, I'd say he's about the same type of CB as Vontae Davis in this draft. He may be so impressed with his so-called cover skills that he doesn't feel the need to help out against the run. If he had gone to the Senior Bowl and showed what he can do against other "talent" then I may be less hard on him. It will be interesting if he participates at the Combine or if he'll just stand on his Pro-Day numbers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not throwing him under the bus, he's my #10 player on my draft board. I just happen to have DJ Moore rated ahead of him.
