It does, especially since that is arguably our biggest weakness on the team that nearly everyone seems to agree on. Do you think it doesn't? When the problem is fixed, then we don't have to use so many picks there. I'd also commit 3 of our picks to the secondary. I'd draft a Nickle corner, a Free Safety to replace Jenkins and another CB in the late rounds of the draft, because this is such a deep CB class and we lack depth at the position.

Jenkins primarily played strong safety.

Cisco is the primary free safety.

BTW  - IOL and nickel-back are picks I'd like to see happen no later than pick #126. They should be able to find value at those spots before the fourth round ends. I agree there.

Taking a replacement for Jenkins could be good too, but it's going to have to be a guy you feel very good about covering TEs and playing good zone coverage in general - as well as being tough in run support. 

Jenkins is difficult to replace because of the high number of impact plays - but a player who is consistently above average in both run support and coverage would indeed upgrade the position. Consistency is the missing factor to Jenkins' game right now.
