Draft Prospects: Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State

This is the first installment of "Draft Prospects" on The Malnarn. I am going to take the next few weeks to highlight those players who may be potential first round selections for the Pack in 2009.

Thus far, the majority of the Draft experts have the Pack taking Cornerback Malcolm Jenkins from The Ohio State University with the 9th pick overall.

Malcolm Jenkins is the top Defensive Back that will come out of the Draft this year. He has good size at 6'1", he has great speed, and although he is not a big hitter, he does not shy away from run support.

I believe that Jenkins is the type of player that would make immediate contribution to the Packer's Defense and he would be the type of player that the Pack could rely on for many years to come. At this point, many believe that the Packers need to look at finding replacements for the aging Al Harris and Charles Woodson, and Jenkins would definately be that player. I personally think that Woodson and Harris have a couple good years left in them and that addressing the CB position is not the greatest priority, but I think that Jenkins would be a very safe pick for Green Bay, but he may not end up fitting with our needs at this point in time, considering the defensive changes that the Packers are looking to make this offseason from the 4-3 to the 3-4.
