Did we trade up to 25 for Jenkins?

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

I know this might not be popular, but I think this draft is going exactly how we need it to. We got our complimentary back in Jones and a solid corner (the top one IMO) in Jenkins. Very solid.

 

[NickZepp]

Jones is a better fit for Dallas. We have a back like Mendenhall already in Barber. In fact our version is better than Mendenhall will ever be. Felix Jones is a backup and a speedy guy. He's a good fit.

The 25th pick with Jenkins is another solid pick. We've filled 2 needs so far. Jenkins is a top 10 type talent so that's a really good pick.

 

[Kevinicus]

Why not take Jenkins at 22 and WAIT for Felix if you're going to take him. There is definitely WOW to this draft. But it's a, "WOW, how can you be so freaking stupid?!?"

 

[xplozno8]

How many rounds are on Day 1 of the draft?

 

[NickZepp]

They valued Jones above Jenkins that's why they took Jones first.

Looks like either Sweed or Thomas could be Washington's first second rounder...

 

[firehawk350]

I dont know if it came in yet, but anyone know what Dallas traded up to 25 with???

A 5th and a 7th rounder...

 

[firehawk350]

Not a half bad trade then, a bit confusing (jenkins at 22 and jones at 28)...

 

[links18]

Man, we really need a WR. We CANNOT rely on TO staying healthy all year and we CANNOT rely on Glenn.

Felix Jones would have been drafted at 24 instead of chris Johnson so that means Jerry made the right choice.

Yes, I think you're right.

 

[firehawk350]

Receivers are dropping, you could get a damn fine receiver in the second...

Yeah, but should he have been picked before Mendenhall? That's the question most are asking.

Jones is a better fit for what the team wants to do. Would've loved Mendenhall, too.

 

[newlander]

DP is probably right. I love Mendenhall, but he REALLy is the same kind of banger, physical type back that the Barbarian is. Very similar styles. But I just didn't see Jones run enough to have that high of an opinion. The analysts love him, but so what...........time will tell obviously.

 

[hermitkid]

Damn, the Giants defense just got a whole lot better of Phillips. Good pick.

 

[firehawk350]

I'm not high on Phillips, but definitely better than what they have back there right now...

 

[lockster]

Dadnabbit! Man, I would have loved to get Phillips, then we could have traded Williams for less and gotten rid of him.
