There will be good corners in rounds 2&3, e.g. Brandon flowers.

I was listening to Mel Kiper the other night & he said that Flowers running a 4.58 in the combine was nothing to get worked up over. He cited a lot of examples of combine workouts being false advertising.

On nfl network they talked about "manufactured speed." These guys work on their 40 times for the combine & it boosts their stock. But how many cb's run in a game from a 3 pt. stance? 40 times are a better measure of wr speed than db's.

There are a no. of guys that are probably at least a little overated. Rogers-Cromartie is one of those guys that teams might take a chance on because of his combine showing, but before that he wasn't that high a prospect.

We can get a good corner that can play nickel his rookie year & eventually start w/out using our 1st round pick IMO.

Im a big VT fan, and Id love to get Flowers, but I dont think he lasts until round 2 at the 42nd pick, Id be really surprised. This team needs a solid corner, not a shut down corner but a solid No.2 type guy. If we strike out in free agency, I really think they'll pull the trigger in Round 1.
