I'd prefer to see him at FS this year instead of being tried at cornerback. I think that's where his skill set would be a best fit. I think putting him at CB is entirely a move to protect his ego and I think a waste of time.

I gave the pick a B, because I hope they put him at Safety, I dont think corner is his position in the NFL. He wont be able to run with every receiver and if hes not strong enough to jam at the line, then hes done.

I'm starting to get somewhat anxious over the fact that Malcolm Jenkins hasn't signed yet.

Malcolm Jenkins' contract remains a work in progress for New Orleans Saints - NOLA.com

Although Saints fans might be wondering "what's the holdup?" it appears there still are hills to climb and curves to negotiate before General Manager Mickey Loomis strikes a deal with the team's No. 1 draft pick, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins.
Both players slotted around Jenkins in the first round are under contract. Washington Redskins linebacker/defensive end Brian Orakpo (No. 13) signed a five-year, $20 million contract with $12.1 million guaranteed, and Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing signed a five-year, $18 million contract (which includes a $4 million escalator clause in his final year) with $10.435 million guaranteed.

Asked if anything was imminent Sunday night, a source familiar with the negotiations said: "You can sleep easy tonight."
Earlier Sunday, Loomis said talks are ongoing with Jenkins' agents, Tom Condon and Ben Dogra of Creative Artists Agency/Football. Jenkins has missed the first five practices.
"We're talking, but there's nothing to report," Loomis said. Then flashing a grin, he stated the obvious: "We know he's going to get less (money) than Orakpo and more than Cushing."
One of the hang-ups now appears to be the structure of the contract, more specifically the breakdown of how the guaranteed money will be paid out.
"We have to do what's right for the New Orleans Saints," Loomis said Thursday when players reported to camp. "This year is the first year in quite some time that we've been pressed up against the salary cap, so we have to be conscious of that."
Condon and Dogra represent nine first-round picks, including Orakpo and Cushing.

Top draft pick Malcolm Jenkins has agreed to terms on a five-year year contract with the New Orleans Saints and is expected to report to training camp Monday, NFL sources confirmed Sunday night.

The agreement ends the cornerback's 10-day contract dispute, the longest by a Saints rookie this decade. The previous longest had been eight days by running back Deuce McAllister in 2001 and receiver Devery Henderson in 2004.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed. But it is believed to be worth approximately $19 million with guarantees around $11 million and includes a $4.3 million escalator clause in the last year.

Jenkins, the 14th overall pick and the top defensive back taken in the draft, will have to play catch-up after missing the first 14 practices of camp, including the Black and Gold scrimmage Saturday at the team's indoor facility in Metairie.

The Saints open their exhibition schedule Friday at 7 p.m. against the Cincinnati Bengals at the Superdome.

Team officials had hoped to get the Ohio State product in camp on time so he could compete for a starting job from the outset. But he likely will be placed near the bottom of the depth chart after his lengthy absence. He had been working with the second unit in nickel and dime passing situations when offseason workouts ended in mid-June.

"(Jenkins) was able to make a healthy number of the OTAs, so he's got a good, firm grasp of what we're doing,'' Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said July 31. "He's a good, young man, he really is. He's really sharp. He's got a good, level head on his shoulders.

"Once (Jenkins) gets here, he's going to have to compete and interview like everyone else and get ready to go. Now he's got to go through this (contract) process like all young first-rounders do, and once he gets here we're going to indoctrinate him pretty quick. It'll be brutal when he first gets here, but that's just what the first-round draft choice goes through.''

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis' initial fears of a potential lengthy holdout came to fruition, even though linebacker/defensive end Brian Orakpo and linebacker Brian Cushing who were sandwiched around Jenkins at Nos. 13 and 15 had come to terms with the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans nearly a week ago.
