7 months ago: FILE - In this Oct. 13, 2007 file photo, Ohio State cornerback Malcolm Jenkins (2) gestures during a college football game in Columbus, Ohio. is a top prospect in the 2009 NFL Draft. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File)

As far as Saints fans are concerned, day one of the draft is officially over! Fortunately, Malcolm Jenkins was still available when the Saints were on the clock with the fourteenth pick. More fortunately, the Saints were smart enough to pull the trigger and take Jenkins. Judging by the brand marks on his arm I can tell that he's a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He will join fraternity brothers Jason David and Leigh Torrence (I believe) in the Saints secondary. 

Feel free to use this thread to talk about how much you love...or hate...the Saints drafting of Malcolm Jenkins.

I voted one for highest level of happy, but I don't think that's how the scale works

Malcolm Jenkins is gonna make Dave Waymer look like Lito Sheppard.

Wish they could have traded down… but oh well. If they can’t trade down this is who I wanted them to get. They may need LB help but not anywhere near as badly as they need a ballhawk safety or a shutdown corner, and this guy may well have the option to be either. Maybe he flames out, of course, could happen, but he was the best chance this year for what they need.

I give it a 10

not because he’s the second coming or anything, but because he was the best player to fill our needs – and Payloo didn’t take the crazy bait and draft a RB.

Happy, happy, joy, joy

I say 8

until we can see him work in the NFL and how he makes the transformation I want to curb my elation just a bit. Too many college superstars end up being average in the pros so for now I shall stay cautiously optomistic

I'm o.k. with this....

Like most I would have loved to see us trade down but Jenkins is the best fit right there.

I feel fortunate that Al Davis isn’t our team owner. What a f-ing tool.

Thank God..

Best pick

Since Carl Adrian Arrington.

We have been drafting well this year and last year. I dig it.

by SaintsDynasty on Apr 25, 2009 10:31 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I hope..

We trade into the third round and try to get Shonn Greene (RB) or Asher Allen (CB). I think that getting even one of those guys will put us over the top in the South.

by Mikeno on Apr 26, 2009 2:13 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

O..

And I voted a 10. We needed a difference making safety, from what I’ve seen on him he should fill that role superbly.

What is the Advantge of Firefox?

PS i think jenkins was a good choice – now get a de in the lower rounds

by Philinwood on Apr 26, 2009 8:52 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I voted 9

We lost the 1 because you mentioned JD and him in the same articule as brothers.

There will be NO tainting the new kid by referring to him and JD as anything other then teammates.

God you scared me linking them like that.

chuckle.

Come on now, even frat boys occasionally have a “brother” they’d prefer to disown… or worse…

by FriarBob on Apr 26, 2009 5:15 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

10

because the Saints finally attempted to address need! This dramatically goes against their strategy of drafting the best athlete available and then plugging them in randomly.
