Mike Jenkins

Let's break it down. A few rookie seasons were cut short due to injury. So cross out Rivers, Jones and Mendenhall from the comparison. Instead of the Patriots' Mayo, I'll slide New Orleans back into the 10th slot and their selection of DT Sedrick Ellis. That's about as fair as possible. Time for the side-by-side part. First the early guys:Ellis has 25 tackles and three sacks on the 20th-ranked defense in the league.McKelvin started the last five games and picked up two interceptions (one returned for a TD) and four passes defensed in those five starts. But he's been a bigger contributor as a returner, leading the league in kickoff return yardage and second in average (minimum 30 returns) with one touchdown.OTs Clady and Albert pretty much started every game for their respective teams.

Once this occurs, Dallas’ secondary needs to be ready. These will not be perfectly placed balls, and it shouldn’t be a surprise if T-New adds six more points to his career total.
