Jenkins, and this is easy. He can do it all.

considering Leodis has been considered the best cover corner i like that

Jenkins will be a star in the NFL. If we can get him, we better get him.

Jenkins. he was the best prospect before the workouts, based on his game eval. Mckelvin and DRC are risers with more potential, but jenkins is nfl ready, and more of the "know what your getting"

Jenkins!!!!!

An All-America candidate in 2007...Forms outstanding cornerback tandem with fellow senior Trae Williams...Athleticism, speed and defensive skills make him an outstanding player at corner, although he can also play safety... "Has as much speed as anybody in the country," says Jim Leavitt...Outstanding cover corner and he has remarkable closing speed...Has improved consistency over entire career ...Battled ankle injury throughout freshman season but has remained healthy ever since.

I like Jenkins' toughness.

I voted Cason, because he'd be the best fit for the defense we employ. Fast, playmaker skills, returning ability, and simply amazing against the run. Really fits the Tampa 2, best tackling CB i've seen in a while, and solid cover guy. Great reading skills, as well.

Oh, man, I really hope we can get this guy. Not at 11, but he's definitely the first CB I would select if I were the bills. I would prefer if they went WR at #11. Sweed at #11 and then Cason in the second (maybe, MAYBE have to trade up)would make the Bills an instant A+ in the draft.

I like Talib more than most but idk about #11... same with any of the CB's really.

Jenkins please. :drool:

If hes gone, my list would go:

Cason
Flowers
Talib
DRC
McKelvin


I'm not really sold on the DRC/McKelvin hype, I think its mostly Kiper hype, I'd :barf: if we took either at 11.

Do you remember Eric Warfield of the Chiefs? That's who he reminds me of, but I don't think Talib's a head case.

I've posted the Jordy Nelson burn a number of times (and I've heard Mayock used that play in his analysis), but, Jordy Nelson isn't the only one to beat him deep.

Its happened on a number of occasions. Like Warfield, you're going to see INT's from him, but get ready to see him get beat as often as he makes a big play. I think its just the aggressive way he plays.

The Cover 2 might hide some of this but won't eliminate it.

Jenkins is the only CB I want at #11. If he's gone I hope we wait till the 2nd and hope Cason is there.

Until the Bills failed to acquire Bryant Johnson, I had them trading down and taking Antoine Cason later in the first for exactly the reasons you mention. However, having seen DRC in the Senior Bowl and Combine, I actually think that although he has a thin frame he could actually play CB quite well in a Cover-2 defense. Plus - and I hesitate to bring this up - he has the added benefit of being an excellent candidate to convert to FS, should the need arise (i.e., Ko Simpson doesn't work out). Anyway, I agree with you about Cason, although taking him at #11 would be a definite reach.

I love Cason too. Not at 11 though. He might slip to Rd 2, where he would be a steal. That guy is a gamer.

At 11?

Cromartie, no doubt about it. He's the only one that appears to have 'star' potential. The rest look like the standard first round CB fare of any other year, good players that probably won't be significantly better in this system than a guy picked in the 2nd or 3rd.

Honestly the 2 CB's I like the most at this point is Talib and Cason and they may go in the second round. Jenkins, Leodis, and DRC have alot of hype but I don't think they would perform any better than AT or Cason, IMO. I love how everyone acts like Leodis and DRC are hands down the best CB in college but during the year they did not stand out at all, the combine #'s change everything.

I would like to trade down and get another pick and take Talib if he is available-

i like jenkins as well at 11. The guy i really like is Brandon Flowers. If he falls to the 2nd-3rd round he would be a steal. He can definitly hit and his 40 times shouldn't worry anyone.
