Kenny as a true safety?
he has not developed into that roll yet and probably never will live up to first round pick value.

Kenny as a chess piece to move around and play a LB/S roll?
This is his specialty and he is one of the better ones in the NFL.

Just do not over pay the toy in 2018.

But Rob Roy had his dream and Pro Bowl SS Malcolm Jenkins was not part of that dream. So two first round picks spent on one position. Bit costly for a S/LB

Rob Ryan was the biggest mistake of the Sean Payton Era

I doubt getting rid of Jenkins was Rob Ryan's decision, letting Jenkins go to sign Byrd has Sean Payton written all over it.

Just like when he tried to pay upwards of 50 mil for Paul Kruger but the Browns outbid him.

But all of that is in the past. Personnel moves have been much better over the past two years and things are really looking up.

I'm glad we got rid of Jenkins with his ass clown play while he was here, actually pathetic play. I could care less about if he pro bowls every year, I think waking him up was going to not have those easy game checks our front office give his for his pathetic play while he was here and another team wasn't going to go so easy on his sorry butt. Yeah money wakes people up sometimes!!

Disagree
We let him go after his best year with us and was showing signs of getting better after sucking for a few years. We broke apart the chemistry that was built with the 4th ranked D in the league. The D fell apart after we lost the chemistry and MJ was a piece of the folks we lost..

Jenkins was a joke while he was here or he would still be here.

His play improved when he left. He might still be here if we had better coaches back then. Just sayin.......

Bad coaching on Malcolm. I asked myself, how do you go from the worst rated safety in the NFL to one of the best? ... Coaching. If a player is struggling ...coach em up!!! MJ had a ton of flaws but glad he turned it around.
