True,

In Jenkins we have a promising rookie CB who played a lot of NB/DB last season. He is likely capable of playing the FS spot very well. Best upside of all 3.

In Vaughn we have a promising rookie who was looking good in TC (according to the coaches) before a minor injury. He also appears to be a capable replacement. A little young and probably needs some further development, but he is loaded with potential.

In Young we have a converted CB who played his 1st season as a FS last year. He has all the tools and looks like we can get by with him if necessary

All 3 players have huge upside as FS's, and I'm 99% positive at least one would step up and shine in Gregg Williams' system.

I don't think there's any wrong opinion in the debate bc Williams likes players who can play multiple positions anyway.

im sure jenkins can play both.....as im sure vaughn can be a decent safety

are you saying that since jenkins flashed a tiny bit at corner that means he can transition to safety?

anybody that gets drafted can play in the NFL, or they wouldnt get drafted

jenkins is a corner moving to safety.....no matter how you spin it

vaughn is a safety.....regardless of which safety position he plays, hes still a safety......and at the safety position, jenkins hasnt shown anything more than vaughn

there really isnt much of a debate because there isnt any reason to really believe either will be better unless you base it off college

a whole year advantage. jenkins is my vote

I like Jenkins more because he's seen the field and looked pretty good, but I have high hopes for Vaughn. With a year under his belt with GW and the conditioning coaches helping get him get ready it could be a really good season for Vaughn. Now that he's healthy let's see how he looks in pads. btw No votes for Young?

I say the best way to do it, is let them battle it out in camp, and the best man for the job, gets the job. I have a question, who is Roman Harper's back up? Is it Young?

Vaughn

said it before we drafted him. he is better off at SS.

Jenkins belongs at FS.

Well, I agree with keeping him, but what I meant was, arent we kind of thin at the SS position?
