Top 30 Corner Backs Entering the 2008 Draft.

[CowboyzAdam]

I posted this because the CB position is what I will be focusing on first in this years coming draft. No more waiting or quick fix plans. We have to address this weakness now. We can no longer get by with just OK guys back their. That does not include Newman at all. I think he is the real deal and love him.

my new favorite corner is Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. This guy is a beast just like the other Cromartie! He's going to be relatively underestimated, and i think we should be able to land him.

CB 5 Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie SR 6-1.5/183/4.47 Tennessee State Bradenton, FL


He had a GREAT Senior Bowl!!!!!

[CowboyzAdam]

Yeah he did guys and did you see the speed he has? The only way he gets beat is by a fake. I doubt many will be able to out run him. A 4.47 is not bad...not bad at all. I'm with you guys right now in saying he has caught my eye for sure. Wouldn't it be nice if we have a shot at landing him. It's not just wishful thinking either. We very well may have a good shot at him.

[b_cadvantag]

He is now my #1 target for us in the draft...Lets solve the WR issue in FA

Yeah that would be real nice if Jerry can figure out a way to get Roy Williams out of Detroit and on this team. Rumors are spreading that the Lions are looking for a second round pick for him. It sure would be nice to know if it is true or not or just a rumor. We are not going to know one way or the other IMO until it gets closer to draft time to see how serious teams are about hanging their WR's out for teams to bid on.

[barberforprez]

Well surprisingly this is actually almost right on target with my rankings. The only difference is that I think Brandon Flowers is better than that.

[SmilesAustin]

Some people have Aqib Talib as the top corner. Some mocks have him going in the top 10, and I actually saw one mock having him going early in the 2nd round. lol

Anyone know the story behind the hyphen in Rodgers-Cromartie? Is he not related to Antonio Cromartie of the Chargers? Did he get married to a feminist or something? (giggle giggle)

I saw some video from Senior Bowl practices and in that short video alone which is just during one practice, he came away with 3 interceptions. Definitely impressive. I would definitely like to see us get him, but his emergence in the senior bowl makes me think that there is a lot of talent at CB this year because I know for sure the top 3 guys on that list will make very good NFL cornerbacks, and Cromartie makes 4. Looks like if you take a corner in the 1st round this year, he's gunna be good!

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie SR 6-1.5/183/4.47

I like the 6-1.. the 4.47 is not bad .. not great but not bad... the 183 is small.... I hate small CB's... unless they play and tackle like T Newman does... How did this guy look tackling.. I dont really want another Dieon Sanders that if he has to tackle it is someone elses job..

Antonio is his cousin.


If Mike Jenkins falls down that would be a good selection. Anthony Henry went to USF in tampa,fl too. So yeah I'am being a homer. Go BULLS!

[bluestar]

I feel we need to select two corner no doubt but maybe even 3 by the end of draft. Why did Antonie Cason drop? I wouldn't mind him in Dallas.

[barberforprez]

I think that after the Senior Bowl practices Mckelvin could be the top CB, he looked great.

heres a link of senior bowl practices.
