Does Claiborne start ahead of Jenkins?

That doesnt really fit JG's mold of guys having to earn everything, including the star on their helmets no matter where they are drafted or if they are drafted at all.

You actually buy that Garrett "mold" nonsense? Who starts is who Jerry says starts.

He did the second he was drafted.

Peterson started every game for the Cardinals.

You're correct. I was mistaken. I was remembering this:

When the Cardinals traded cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to Philly, the assumption was that No. 5 overall pick Patrick Peterson would replace him in the starting lineup.

That should happen eventually, but it hasn’t happened yet. Peterson continues to run with the backups behind second-year cornerback A.J. Jefferson and Greg Toler.

The Cardinals are using Peterson as a kick returner, which could be a sign he won’t play every snap on defense early in the year. Coach Ken Whisenhunt usually favors veterans early in camp and it’s too early to say much of anything. But we just haven’t heard a lot about Peterson making an impact just yet.

“I expected Peterson to stand out more as a cornerback early in camp,” ESPN.com’s Mike Sando writes.

Peterson actually started week one on a technicality though. The guy ahead of him got hurt. Before that they didn't intend on starting him. He was going to be their primary returner to start off. And he didn't make the pro bowl as a corner, just a returner.

Jenkins is a good NFL corner when healthy. That said, Claiborne is a day-one starter whether Mike Jenkins is on the roster or not.
