Looking Like Jenkins Will Be There In The 2Nd...

I was first skeptical about Jenkins being there when our pick comes around in the 2nd round but all the baggage / character issues he is carrying around is causing his stock to take a considerable hit.

Esp with Claiborne, Gilmore, and Kirkpatrick all being projected ahead of him.

So my question is, do we take the risk and draft Jenkins in the 2nd?

Im all for it so long as we get Cox or Coples in the 1st.

Jenkins is hands down the best corner in the draft as far as skills go. And defending the pass is crucial when going up against the Brees, Rodgers, and Brady's.

The reward is greater than the risk. Do the right thing Hurney!

I'd definitely take a chance on him in the 2nd. Him or Trumaine Johnson is really who I hope we draft in the 1st (assuming we go Dline in the 1st), and both have some character concerns (although, Johnson's are no where near as bad as Jenkins')

Judging a Player on what happens off the field is idiotic, Cam had his troubles and has it caused us any problems?

nope.

LMAO, are you really comparing Cam Newton's mythical off the field issues that didn't exist to Jenkins'?

It's easy to pick and choose your corner cases for off the field issues, but the fact of the matter is, I would say a majority of the players who have off the field issues the magnitude of Jenkins', they have those some problems at the next level. It would take a very, very strong personality to keep it from happening.

Last year, Bruce Carter was the 40th pick in the draft, the same spot we will be picking this year. His contract is 4 years/4.7 million.

The possible reward is absolutely worth the risk. Paying first round talent that kind of money is a no-brainer. He will grow up in our locker room, and if he doesn't, I won't be mad at Hurney for taking a chance.

i would love jenkins in the second. DL/DE in the first, CB in the second and a later-round OLB would be an instant defensive upgrade.

Cox

Jenkins

Bradham

in the draft

to add with getting back Beason and Edwards

and our defense just went up like 50 notches!

    • While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.
    • Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster. 
    • Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
