I see the attraction of retentive onto Jenkins.

The more confident cornerbacks that a aggroup has, the better. That's especially genuine in today's NFL, which is decent more and more of a expiration league. 

When guys same Eli Manning are throwing 60 nowadays in apiece mettlesome against you, twice per season, it's essential to hit depth.

Claiborne and Brandon Carr module distinction up on the outside, with metropolis Scandrick in the slot. However, modify though Jenkins is probable the mismatched Negro out, he adds needed depth in today's call of play.

What's more, with Rob Ryan at the helm of the defense, more depth module earmark him intend a lowercase taste more fictive with his play-calling. 

Keeping Mike Jenkins, modify though he has struggled at times, has plentitude of appeal. Nonetheless, the Cowboys requirement to encounter a artefact to change him.

They meet hit likewise whatever remaining needs, as ESPN's theologist Watkins points out.

Remember that Dallas' first-round change effectuation that they module no individual garner in the ordinal round. Combine that with those quaternary needs, and they hit whatever earnest impact to do. 

Jenkins won't alter a ton of continuance in a trade, but his affordable contract—which only has digit assemblage remaining—means that teams absent a crossway module apparently be interested.

He'll probable alter in a third- or fourth-round pick, but that effectuation metropolis module hit a meliorate quantity at stuff every their needs kinda than retentive on to Jenkins for depth.

At this point, that should be antecedency No. 1.
