NFL Draft countdown: Where will Jenkins go?

The NFL Draft is now less than an hour away, and I for one am very excited about the league shortening the time between picks from 15 minutes to 10 -- a nice streamlining by Roger Goodell that should leave less down time. The first round has been a six-hour snorefest in recent years, and this should get it pleasantly under four hours.

So where will Mike Jenkins go? It's all but assured he'll be the first first-round draft pick in USF history, but the difference between 7th to the Patriots and 28th to the Cowboys could be three hours. I posted here yesterday that I thought he'd go 16th to the Cardinals, but I'm just as curious to see where he goes among the cornerbacks. If he's 7th, he's the first corner off the board, but he could easily be third or fourth and still go in the top 20. Is there a chance he falls to the Bucs at 20th?

Anyway, we've got a few hours to kill, so I figured I'd give you guys another place to talk about the draft. I'll be curious to see if George Selvie's name comes up as a potential name for 2009 when Mel Kiper offers his first look at next year's top draft prospects. Oh, and I might have an update later this afternoon on a center who could be headed to USF ...

Major tease on the center prospect...

Oh well, back to the draft...

I hope MJ flashes the Bull horn sign. Go Bulls and best of luck to all the Bulls in the draft mix today and tomorrow.

Mike's home in Bradenton, so I don't think he'll be on camera. Seems like a lot of top guys didn't go to New York this year ...

noticed the same thing greg. Only six guys showed up to NY.

What's the over/under on how many Under Armour ads ESPN will air before Jenkins is picked? I'm switching over to the NFL Network...

Is Under Armour the only company that bought an ad? I had it memorized back around Chris Long ...

Chris Berman is TERRIBLE!

That "Hold the Mayo" joke made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I Switched over to the NFL Network a few seconds later and I'm now doing PIP.


Enjoy the pothead bust, Bucs.

Stupid, stupid move.

Absolutely no way Talib is better than Jenkins.

Noooooooo.... why not Mike?

Most of what they say pre-draft is BS. Everybody knows that, but to say they'd take him if he's available, and then take a different CB, is pretty nasty to a local kid. No surprise at that from the Bucs though.

...if Brandon Flowers gets picked before Jenkins, something has to be going on.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Hinkelberger said he wasn't a first rounder...

Early Second round fellas!!

Everyone told the hinkelberger how stupid he was..

Greg??? Was there another sole in town that said Jenkins wouldn't go in the first???

Come one Greg. You know I was the only one that called it.!!

HA!!

soul

Neat that they traded up to get him. Oh, and Ari, I think that was the first round.

Dallas Just traded up.. Might save the day for Jenkins and the faithful.

HA HA!

I guess Ari didn't realize that Dallas traded up from the 28th pick to the 25th pick to get Jenkins because they were worried someone else would take him before the 28th pick. Even if Dallas hadn't traded up, Jenkins would have gone in the first round.

Like I said before you're a joke Ari!

Hey Ari how does that crow taste?
