1. Antrel Rolle,
6-0, 200, Miami
Nice size makes him valuable corner against big receivers.
2. Adam Jones,
5-9, 185, West Va.
Nicknamed “Pac-Man”, he’s an aggressive, quick corner with kick-return skills.
3. Carlos Rogers,
6-0, 195, Auburn
Another first-round corner who started for four years.
4. Fabian Washington,
5-10, 185, Nebraska
Fastest corner. Better cover man than hitter.
5. Brodney Pool,
6-1, 200, Oklahoma
Top safety is good tackler who should have stayed in school.
6. Thomas Davis,
6-1, 230, Georgia
Some teams want big-hitter to play linebacker.

Keep an eye on
– Justin Miller, 5-9, 200, Clemson: Should have stayed in school.
– Marlin Jackson, 6-0, 190, Michigan: Strong. Could switch to safety.
– Eric Green, 5-11, 195, Virginia Tech: Cover corner but not very aggressive.
– Josh Bullocks, 6-0, 210, Nebraska: Safety played better as sophomore.

Kelvin Hayden,
5-10, 195, Illinois
The Hubbard High School graduate switched from wide receiver to cornerback as a senior and quickly became an NFL prospect with a big senior season. Given the demand for cornerbacks, he could go as early as the third round.
