Then you go get them.

The teams above us have more pressing issues.

I think Xavier Rhodes is the best corner in this draft. Ive seen alot of Florida State games and he can flat out cover. Trade back and get a 2nd rounder. Draft Xavier Rhodes in the 1st, Arthur Brown in the 2nd and Dominique Easley DT Florida in the 3rd.

Rhodes has some nice size at 6-1 and 217, so he would match up better against some of the bigger receivers like Vincent Jackson and Julio Jones.

Xavier Rhodes, CB

Strengths: Imposing size for the cornerback position and a willing hitter, truly enjoying the physical aspect of playing on defense. He is aggressive at the line of scrimmage and works hard to knock receivers off their route while still showing the quickness and footwork to quickly redirect and run with receivers downfield. His length and aggressive nature will make for a good matchup against bigger receivers at the next level.

Weaknesses: Still a little rough around the edges and tends to get too physical in man coverage.
