Hypothetical plan:
Cowboys would like to commit to Anthony Spencer long term, but are uneasy committing to Jenkins long term due to injury or other reasons. From a cap perspective, they feel like they can only keep 1. They may have a hard time getting Jenkins to play with that shoulder for the $1mm he is owed with his free agency on the horizon.
The coaches love Spencer as a 1st -2nd down player and maybe they feel like he has been miscast as a lde in nickle. They may think that Vinnie Curry, Irvin or one of the more natural pass rush guys could play 3rd downs while Spencer could play next to Ware as the under tackle, much like Justin Tuck (of course Tuck has 20 lbs on Spencer).
Or you could take Gilmore in the first and trade Jenkins for a pick to a team (Titans, Rams etc.) that has the need and cap room to commit to a pretty good young corner.
