Some
things just annoy us enough to lower a
draft grade, getting pigheaded on a
player when a much better option is
there is one of them. The boys did a
good job filling needs but bypassing
Rashard Mendenhall? we all knew they
were going after Felix Jones, but when
Mendenhall was still there at 22 how do
you use that pick on Jones? Jones will
fit nicely with Marion Barber III. But
then they gave up picks to move up three
spots in a deal with Seattle to grab CB
Mike Jenkins, which gives them some
insurance regarding Pacman Jones, but
why not just take Jenkins at 22 and
Jones at 28? TE Martellus Bennett can
easily replace traded Anthony Fasano.
Overall Grade: B+ Grade after annoying us: C+

Everyone thinks that
the Cowboys want McFadden, we are not so sure that
his backfield mate Jones is a better fit with Marion
Barber. Jones is lightning-quick with a great burst
and the speed to get out on the edge. Also a threat
as a kick-returner, Jones is a big-time playmaker
and would make for a great change of pace for
Barber.

This is a fall for Jenkins, and
Dallas has a need in
the secondary, the
speedy and physical, Jenkins
excels in man-to-man coverage and would
immediately challenge for a starting spot. He has
improved consistency over entire career since an
injury kept him out as a freshman
