I've got to say that there are so many good CBs in this class, that I am utterly stupefied.
The two prospects that I like LEAST for the Pats are the no-namer Combine creations DRC and McKelvin. Do those guys even *play* defense? Their highlight films are almost entirely KR/PR, and fumble recoveries for TD... which is shorthand for "trackstar" in my book.
But, if we can get past the draft hype, take a look at the rest of the class:
Jenkins - hard hitting impact player who lifted his D into the national eye
Cason - highly productive hard working 4-year starter with incredible athleticism
Talib - athletic, good tackler, soft hands, size and speed
Porter - 4.3 speed with superb agility and hands
King - 4.3 speed with field smarts and elite cover skills
Godfrey - athletic, reliable tackler, physical player
Flowers - playmaker, hard hitter, throws his body around, field general
With that much depth at the position, top players will last into the 3rd round. I'd love to land two of them. Any one of them should turn into an upgrade over Asante.
