Who do you think will be the best CB (Jr. or Sr.) in the draft? Top 5?

Gut

I can tell you who I really like, Darrelle Revis, amazing 2005 year, and has got amazing athletic ability, just watch this vid...

Leon Hall is slightly overrated, Marcus Mcauly (can't spell surname), is pretty good too...

Lazy that's just bad defence/tackling by the opposing team, not really something to get excited about. I agree Leon Halls seems overrated.

Its the only vid I can find about him though, need something to show...

It was a combination of amazing blocking, bad defense and Revis's ability that set up the TD...

Revis is my favorite, too. I had him ranked #1 in the other thread. I think Leon Hall will end up going the highest in the draft, but I like how Revis' game translates to the NFL level. Of course, a lot will depend on their 40 times because of the position. That's one area where McCauley from Fresno can jump his stock back up. He's expected to do excellent at the combine, but he's had a disappointing season.

revis is garbage, hes way to slow to be in the nfl and to be playing corner in college, did anyone watch that whole wvu game? pat white who is decently fast was pulling away from revis and revis is a db, hes suppossed to be one of the fastest guys on the field.... i would never pick that guy

and we dont even need a corner now, after what we have seen from finnegann that position should be on lock for him, we need to get a safety im thinkin michael griffin

:rolleyes: cornerback is far from a lock.

Revis has ran a 4.45, 40 time...

gunny i like u a lot but finnegann is much better than hill, and deserves to be a starter on this team, he did really really good today and garcia isnt that much of a slacker hes been to the pro bowl 2 or 3 times

besides the point, one good game doesn't set the position of CB. It could have been a fluke.

ur right about that, i should have said if he continues to play like that, but i do think that he deserves another start

I like Daymeion Hughes but still don't think CB is our biggest concern. I'm liking alot of the 2nd-3rd round talent at safety.

ur right about that, i should have said if he continues to play like that, but i do think that he deserves another start

I agree.

cool

I really haven't seen a CB yet this year that makes me say "we should get that guy". Or safety for that matter.

Houston, out of Arkansas, will be a first round talent if he comes out.

Upon further review, give me Johnathan Wade from UT. Reminds me of Pacman, how he can play man coverage and the run. Very physical. Good tackler. Good cover guy. And smart as well as instinctive. No idea where he'd go, but I'd guess rd 2-3. I'd take him over Heffney, of course, and upon further review, I'd take him over Houston, who I think has great talent. Wade is a smart playmaker. I think of Pac without the emotions and the return game.

Got to get that Woolfolk thing out of my signature.

Being a Vols fan, I like Wade too. I agree that he's about a 3rd rounder. His stock could increase after he runs his 40 at the combine, it's expected to be pretty blazing. The only thing I don't like about him is he gets turned around in coverage too easily, and gets wayyy overaggressive sometimes, so he's caught out of position. He needs to refine his technique and play a little more disciplined.

well that can happen, pacmans coverage skills have jumped leaps and bounds from last year

I'd love to get Wade, he's been a pleasure to watch this year. He can take over for LT any day.

i went back and watched some of the '04 rose bowl, just to watch some vince young, and i noticed vince ran right by leon hall quite a few times.

Taking Wade, or a CB like him, seems like a good move to me, even if we get a FA like Nate Clements. He could sit on the depth chart and learn a little while. I'd like: Pacman Jones, Clements, Hill, Finnegan, Wade and Waddell/Eric King. Good depth with two potential/proven starters at backup.

finnegan = starter and then problem solved

i went back and watched some of the '04 rose bowl, just to watch some vince young, and i noticed vince ran right by leon hall quite a few times.

To be fair, Huff timed out faster than Vince Young when running there 40 times....but Huff admitted that on the football field, Vince has run by him too (and he couldn't catch him).

I'll have to watch more tape of Hall because he got abused in the Ohio State game. How'd he look in the Rose Bowl?

Gut

Yeah hall did get abused by ted ginn jr. all day which hurt his stock and i'm not high on him anymore. Wade would be a great 3rd round pick and a decent 2nd I like him a lot though good size and speed just needs to refine his technique and coverage skills a bit and could be very good. whatch for Tanard Jackson from syracuse decent size good in run support along with good speed and coverage ability but flying under the radar.

tanard is good,and he has everything physically,but his "intagibles" are like that of a 7th round pick,he breaks down to easy,doesnt have smooh back pedals,and doesnt have a very short memory....I'd rather take John Talley than Jackson in the 3rd.

This will be the year to NOT overspend on a CB. There is no clear cut consensus and a lot of the top guys have iffy speed. To me this means they are 2nd rnd picks at the earliest. On the other hand, a guy like Wade could leap higher because of his athleticism...especially if he runs a 4.3 40.

Jackson and Talley are good players, but if you only have 4.5+ speed, it's hard to become a productive starter in the NFL these days when you're being matched up against WR's who are both BIGGER AND FASTER!

6' CB's used to get away with being slower because they were better at the jam, harder to throw over and better run support players. But now there are a lot of 6'-6'5 WR's with 4.4 or better speed....

Gut

Just get me a Pacman clone without the off-field antics, then I'm happy.
