2008 NFL Draft: 1.25 Mike Jenkins, DB, Dallas Cowboys (via Seattle)
The Cowboys are getting aggressive. The Boys moved back into the 1st round just a few picks after selecting Felix Jones to focus on defensive this time around. South Florida CB Mike Jenkins was the pick; which certainly makes sense relative to who was left on the defensive back pre-draft rankings. Jenkins was inconsistent on film, sometimes looking like a potential Pro Bowl shutdown corner, at other times he’s looked bad enough to not be taken on the first day. Not surprisingly, coaches will focus on the good film and tell themselves they can teach him to stop making the mistakes that show up on the bad film.
Fantasy Impact: Not much. The Cowboys already had their corner position solidified with the acquisition of Pacman Jones. This probably means Anthony Henry will move to center in training camp; and it also gives the Cowboys leverage when Terence Newman’s contract comes up next year.
