Jenkins and Darby are high ceiling CB that are decent tacklers and potential for big plays 

 
Talib for me.  He's going to see plenty of targets and he's got the ability to score off of them.  Darby would be next.

The dichotomy of Cornerback is that you generally don't want the best cover guys like Peterson or Rhodes.  You want CB's that are going to get targeted so they have opportunities for tackles and PD/INT.  Guys like Sherman and Jenkins won't get targeted very often as they are significantly better than the guy opposite them.  I'd look at Eli Apple or Shaq Griffin opposite those guys actually.

 
I would go with Darby.  Washington will be slinging it and he will get his chances.  Cousins isn't afraid to chuck it into coverage.  There will be opportunities for some big plays.
