Positives - A first round selection in 2004, Michael has a season under his belt in the NFL. The Falcons were horrible last season at WR, with Peerless Price and Dez White not making the top 50 at WR. Jenkins is in a position to crack the starting line-up with a good camp, and if Michael Vick improves on his passing attempts, he could be a steal this late in the draft.

Negatives - He is not a sure starter; he’s competing with Peerless Price, Dez White, and 1st round selection Roddy White. The Falcons only passed on 46% of their offensive plays, and led the league in rushing. No ATL WR had more than 3 TDs last season, and Alge Crumpler should continue to be the teams leading receiver. There is limited upside for any Falcon WR.

Draft Strategy - We are at WR 72; this is the 8th WR on my squad. He has a chance to start, and at this point in the draft he seemed like a better option than a rookie WR. He did avg. 17 yards/reception last season, although it was only on 7 catches.
