2012 Pick 17 - Dre Kirkpatrick

I have been saying for some time now, this makes sense. Kirkpatrick does not have huge upside, but I think he is a good fit for this team. He seems like a what you see is what you get type. He reminds me of a Terrance Newman, who they just signed. I think a chance on Jenkins may have paid better dividends, but this is a safer selection. With the speed receivers in the AFC north, Dre's lack of speed could be an issue. I'll give it a C+.
