Janoris Jenkins
 

Have you see him in action again Julio Jones and Ashon Jeffry? The guy is incredible. He can run and he can cover and he has good hands. In addition he an aggressive fearless tackler. Of course the downside makes you think of Pac Man Jones.

So what if he slides to 27? I think that the Patriots have to take him and hold their breath. Supposedly he has matured so I suspect that they can get a couple of years out of him before he reverts to form....

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

I think you mean Julio Jones and AJ Green, whom he both shut down.

IIRC, Ashon Jeffrey kind of had his way with him.

Jenkins is probably off the board altogether. We see this every year with guys who are talented, but offer nothing else.

He's not exactly the typical "leadership/captain," mature and smart status that Belichick looks for with his first round picks.

I think there are a handful of teams that will take a chance on him, but there was a report from SI last week (and PFT) that said that 'many teams' have taken him off the board altogether.

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

I thought he had an int and forced fumble against Alshon Jeffery...anyway hiring him would be more like a short-term rental. Two years max but you would have a shutdown corner for 2 seasons; that would be huge for this defense.

I am sure that BB has assigned a value for him but it might be 31 or the second round...

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

BB is close to both Will Muschamp and Charlie Weis... neither of whom will say nice things about Janoris. Maybe he's matured. Maybe he's putting on an act for NFL teams - he's got character problems, he's not stupid.

It's tough to get on Belichick's board to begin with. Don't imagine Jenkins is there.

Just can't see BB putting up with anyone who once told his Head Coach, "Do you know who you're talking to?"

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

FWIW, Jeffrey played twice against Jenkins...

2009 - 6 receptions, 57 yards, 0 TDs
2010 - 6 receptions, 53 yards, 0 TDs

Can't remember too many receivers that had big days against Janoris, off the top of my head.

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

I wouldn't touch him until maybe the 4th.

Yea, the guy can play but so could Pacman. Goodell will have his eyes on this guy from day 1.

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

The rumors are that he is off many NFL teams boards. But there is always a team willing to go on talent only, so he may be taken in the upper 2nd round.

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

He doesn't put the team first. That attitude means not a patriot

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

I have a thing for CBs and Jenkins is one of the best I have seen in a long time. Not only can he cover but he will crash into RBs. I saw him at the bottom of piles with his arms around an RB a number of times. Rather different than Assante Samuel or Prime Time. He would have made a difference in the last Super Bowl (if he did not get into a bar fight the night before)....

Oh so tempting but oh so dangerous a pick. It would be Faustian selection wherein the Patriots would sell their soul...

Re: Janoris Jenkins
 

Thanks for the stats.

In comparison to what he did to both Green and Jones, I assumed those are the 2 guys he meant.

Jeffrey certainly didn't "have his way with him," but he did much better than the first two guys. I know that at least one of Green/J.Jones was held to 17-19 yards, and the other didn't do much better.

Maybe you have some solid stats, since I would assume that you followed Jenkins pretty closely while he was at Florida?

What's your take on him anyway? Would you take him at all? I wouldn't touch him in the first, but would strongly consider it in the late 2nd. If the 3rd round came with him still being available, I'd be pretty damn happy--character issues aside.

I just have a feeling that Belichick doesn't even give him as much as a glance.
