Word Out On Janoris Jenkins

[Slick]

looks like he could drop right out of the first round....word is he interviewed terribly at the combine and admitted he was still smoking the bud at North Alabama....as one NFL GM put it " more of the same" , "the kid just doesn't get it".

be interested to see how far he falls.

 

[JScottWriter]

If he was there in the 3rd I would take a chance on him.

What if he broke into a frat house and beat the shit out of the residents with his teammates?

 

[JScottWriter]

I would probably take him later than that then.

 

[lp4ever41]

Love his talent, but he's shady as hell. Hope they pass

 

[manchild98]

Don't go after anyone who can't stop smoking weed...and he's one of those. It's just a matter of time before he's being suspended for multiple games. Like it said, he doesn't get it...and he won't.

 

[themadbomber]

Well... he'd fit right in with our lockeroom...

 

[lp4ever41]

Wouldn't be surprised to see him picked on day 3

 

[mhughes0021]

Stupid GMs ...dude half your team smokes pot...all of you. Let him drop and watch the rich get richer. Belichek would drool if this guy was still on the board...i dont care what this guy says.

Janoris Jenkins - DB - Player

Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe would be "shocked" if the Patriots used a first-round pick on North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins.
As we saw it, the Pats and Bengals were the only two teams left as possible landing spots for Jenkins in round one. Bedard is a trusted source, so we'd scratch New England off the list. "You just wish the situation at North Alabama was clean, that he had a rebirth, from a personal and football character standpoint," one AFC exec told NFL.com. "But it was more of the same."

How does a guy admit he still smokes weed when everyone knows he's chronic? Is he trying to lose money?

What a dumbass...

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's the thing..

GM "You still smoking bud, ha"
Jenkins "Yep, still using it".

How hard was it to say Nope.

 

[imthetruth]

Yeah, it's not like they can drug test you or hook up a lie detector. I'd be lying my ass off. What a goof.

Just saying, if he's still around in the late second, I would draft him. Weed isn't crack or even steroids. I'm not saying it's right, but I would bet a lot more guys in the NFL smoke in their downtime than we know. That doesn't make Jenkins less of an idiot for spilling the beans, but it also doesn't somehow make him a worse player.

He has #1 CB potential, something only a few players can really say in this draft. Would picking him really be worse than the way we've reached for RBs the last two years without improving the O-line? Jenkins may be dumb, but he's not "beat up a girl in a strip club, rape some girl in a bathroom, or shoot himself with an unlicensed firearm" dumb. And when we are talking about millionaire young men with little financial sense, that is an important distinction.

What's dumb is getting caught (for anything the weed is not the downfall but the catalyst) repeatedly having it f' you up, and then still doing it without learning a damn thing. The 4 pregnancies with 3 women may also apply. Then add liberal amounts of money and fame and expect said player now to change/keep things on the down-low. In short its not the weed but the constant mistakes in the face of overwhelming reward/failure.

And... it does make you a worse player because of the likelihood that you won't play, whether you f' up in year 1,2,3...

I'd take him with our 2nd rounder if he was there.

My point really is that rich young men are much more prone to making bad decisions, we see it CONSTANTLY in most every sport. To say a player's mistakes outweigh his play means some seriously significant problems. Having a bunch of kids doesn't say much, that wouldn't even be a story if he wasn't a future first round pick. The weed is a problem, I'm not denying that. If it wasn't, I would be proposing we take him in the first but he would be gone in the top 15 anyways. But like I said before, his problems so far haven't been the kind that destroy his career. He's still remained a top player on the field and quality teammate. Nothing he has done, to date, screams that it would be a waste of our pick, only that he present slightly more risk than some other 2nd rounders (but with significantly more potential).

He got kicked off a National Championship team. How is being kicked off the team being a quality teammate? It's selfish is what it is. Then you drop down to Div 2 N. Alabama which should have been a wake up call and you continue doing the thing that got you there in the first place (I don't care if it is weed or playing pea-nuckle out of turn). That is dumb is what it is. 4 kids with 3 women that is dumb. So you want to throw millions at a dumb kid who already put his habit above a Championship team, then put him in a league where screw ups can cost you games/careers. Good luck.

I feel like you are being overly self-righteous here. Wrong is dead wrong and everything is black or white. From all accounts he was a good teammate, got along with others and did his best on the field. Having a new coach kick him off the team doesn't make him any less of a person to his teammates. Would you say the same things about Kirkpatrick? That guy was caught with weed too, he just happened to get the "good ol' boy" treatment and didn't have charges pressed. That doesn't suddenly mean it didn't happen.

If Jenkins was still on Florida (certainly worse offenses have been "forgiven" all over), you wouldn't be talking this way. And that's what I have a problem with. I'm not saying he is a sure thing, but he's a top 10 talent possibly available in the late second. Even Randy Moss (who has consistently been a terrible teammate at every stop) didn't fall that far, and he'll probably be a hall of famer.

Three arrests, multiple positive drug tests, 4 children with 3 women. This is a grey area for you? For society's sake I hope you don't have kids.
