[I Bleed Awesomeness]

how in the heck is this cromartie kid projected to go 10th?  i had never even heard his name until the combine.  he was impressive there, but cmon, i dont think tennessee st played anywhere near the schedule for him to be worthy of a top 10 selection.

[smmitty]

I would love to see Mike Jenkins stay in Tampa!

[SixtySix]

means nothing until the day of.

GO PACK GO!!

GET JENKINS!!! ;D

LG,

Good players can come from small schools.

Signed,

Phil Simms, Jerry Rice, Walter Payton.

Seriously, of course I guy like Cromartie of Tennessee St. is going to rise now, it's not like the NFL scouts were following Tennessee State around or were watching their tapes week in and out.

He actually is a very good player and they aren't just basing that on what he did in Indy.

As for Jenkins to the Bucs, it would be a bad situation in the cover 2 for him. I just don't think it's the best spot for him.

f the packers

cry me a river.

Him going to Tampa Bay would be a waste of talent and a way for all of the USF?Bucs fans to say.... "We kept our boy... I remember him playin for the bulls... blah blah blah."

He needs to be picked up out of state.... none of FLoridas NFL teams are worth a s#!t.

I agree Jenkins in Tampa = very average CB

The system does not fit his style of play.

There is another mock draft by someone else on the espn site that has him going 17 to Minnesotta

While I would love it, I just don't see them drafting D in the first round two years in a row ...

Well the patriots lost both there cornerbacks and Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams had a private workout with Bill Belichick two weeks ago, so i would expect Jenkins to go to the Pats.
