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

I don't hear anyone going crazy over Jenkins. We've just seen more of him both on Defense and Special Teams. He's made some solid plays and he's looked like a rookie at times.

What's wrong with speculating that he'll be a great player anyway? Don't we say that about other players here all the time??

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.

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

I'm saying that I've seen more on the field from Jenkins than Vaughn at this point. And the coaches discussed him playing Safety before he was even drafted.
