When the write-up starts with "lacks ideal size", just say no.

Ideal size - I've got to agree with that. No more 5'8" corners, please. 6' is the minimum. Am I crazy for saying that? I don't believe so.

ok, but then there is always:
Asante Samuel 5'10
Marcus Trufant 5'11
Deangelo Hall 5'10
Ronde Barber 5'10
Terrence Newman 5'11
Ty Law 5'11
Antoine Winfield 5'9

and so on

18. Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy (5-10½, 185) | Previous: 16
Not only a very good cover man with superior recovery ability (runs in the 4.38 range) and the aggressiveness to get the job done in run support, McKelvin has made a name for himself as the top return man in the entire nation. He's also stood out this season in games against the likes of Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma State and Georgia. With his speed and versatility, McKelvin will bring a great deal of value to a football team.

3rd Round
Darnell Terrell, Missouri
Height: 6-3. Weight: 205.
40 Time: 4.39.
Projected Round: 3-4.
One of the tallest corners in this class, Darnell Terrell's speed at his size is pretty remarkable.


7th Round
Terrell Vinson, Purdue
Height: 5-9. Weight: 183.
40 Time: 4.43.
Projected Round: 7.
His five interceptions and two pick-sixes will get him drafted. His 40 will get him noticed - and possibly placed into a better round.


I bet you we could get both

Malcom Jenkins will be good in NFL...built kinda like mckenzie....but Mckelvin is one of those CBs who will dive at balls to attack them rather than lunge....he played well in allstar game and will get a hand on the ball if he is in the area....he could also fit in the saints well...but i would like to see a CB that is physical and big enough to hit someone

Young got his on the job training last year. Thats what you have to do with small school guys. Actually he is ahead of the curve. He got on the field. Next year we will see alot more of the small school guys draft in 2007.
I do not mind small school guys at all. If they in the long run are better players than the BCS kids I am all for it. Gotta think long term! Not just one year at a time. Gotta leave the AA mentality behind. This is football.

As most know I am not the first person to say draft a "small school" guy...

However, Rogers-Cromartie, is the guy I really like. Just from what I have seen of the kid, he has "Playmaker" skills. I just can't agree with the assessment that he will have difficulty in the NFL. If I was on the draft committee, he would be my #2 pick. I just don't see him lasting to the 3rd.
