Scouting Combine, Day Four (DB's)

I was looking forward to the Defensive Backs putting on a show, and they did not disappoint. The star of the show was Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who ran sensational times and looked fantastic in drills. Also looking fantastic among the corners were Aqib Talib, Leodis McKelvin, Justin King, and Mike Jenkins. Disappointments included Brandon Flowers and Chevis Jackson, who ran slow forties, and may be consideration to move to safety. As far as Safeties were concerned, Josh Barrett of ASU and Kenny Phillips were the top of the safety class. Barrett, in particular, has talent reminiscent of LaRon Landry from last year's class. In all, the DB's were the class of the combine, and most likely the strongest position well to draft from in April. This is as deep a class of corners I have ever seen.
