It remains to be seen how being barely 5'10 (He looked more like 5'9 standing near Ridley) and having 4.53 forty time will affect him vs. deep threat WRs. No team really tested him deep this year. I love Dennard, and think he has the gamespeed of a 4.35 forty and can become a #1 CB, but there is no doubt his height will eventually hurt him.
Dennard was the best rookie CB. Hosley got more recognition for picks, and Claiborne had a very up and down season. Dennard would be a first rounder in a redo IMO.
Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick have a different philosophy on their defensive backs, and everyone can decide for themselves. Of course if any of the midgets Wheatly, Butler, Wilhite, Arrington had worked out, BB would probably have 5 HC rings not just 3.
I don't know why you think he has better gamespeed than his combine 40, I mean I understand deltas do exist but what is the basis of your thinking?
Did you see him running side by side Andre Johnson or something?
Dennard was a steal cause he punched a cop in the face the week before the draft. Everyone knows he had the talent for the top 3 CB in the draft. He probably is a really great #2 but I don't see how he can physically (height or speed) keep up with the burners in a dome or compete on these jump balls that are always thrown to give the elites a chance to come down with it or at least draw a PI call.
