Peter King scores with his incisive analysis of Jenkins
From Alex Martin of New Orleans: "You write: 'I've never seen so many teams so in love with a corner who runs 4.53 as is the case with Malcolm Jenkins.' Interesting way to look at it. Especially when you consider Nnamdi Asomugha ran a 4.5 40 coming out of college, too. How did he work out?''
King: Very well. He's the highest-paid cornerback ever. But I'd bet you a grande latte that there was more interest higher in the draft for Jenkins, who was drafted 14th overall, than there was in 2003 for Asomugha, who was drafted 31st.

And I'll bet you TWO grande lattes
you effete snob, that Asomugha deserved more interest than he got—from both the NFL and from you. Maybe NFL teams learned their lesson, and that’s why there’s so much interest in Jenkins. Maybe, just maybe, journalists will learn their lesson one day, too. I wouldn’t wager a Berry Chai Tazo Tea Infusion on that, however.
here drink some of this kool-aid don't worry it won't hurt you...
One thing I know I think I know...
…is that, although a lot of Peter King’s column is a diverting read, he doesn’t seem to know an awful lot about evaluating football players. Give me Gregg Easterbrook any day of the week. TMQ > Anything Peter King’s ever done.
