Sporting News, The, Dec 27, 2004 by Dan Pompei

1 Antrel Rolle, 6-0, 205, Miami. Is tough, explosive and strong. Can jam receivers and is an ideal candidate for a cover 2 scheme. Isn't as effective when he lines up off receivers. Has decent speed and athleticism. Similar to Quentin Jammer. Could be considered at safety.

2 Eric Green, 6-0, 198, Virginia Tech. Is a true cover corner with excellent quickness. Has great feet and hips. Plays the ball well and can play man coverage. Has good size but is not consistently physical.

3 Corey Webster, 6-0, 202, LSU. Has everything you want in a corner: size, ball skills, cover ability, instincts. Played with a bad ankle this season, and his performance dropped from 2003. Could be better in run support.

4 Bryant McFadden, 6-0, 186, Florida State. Aggressive corner who would be best suited in a zone scheme. Has excellent instincts and good playing speed. Could be quicker. Isn't afraid to come up and hit.

5 Carlos Rogers, 6-0, 195, Auburn. Has good size and man-to-man skills. Has body control and quickness and is physical. Has improved his stock this year but isn't always focused. Speed is good, not great.

6 Marlin Jackson, 6-0, 200, Michigan. Is a big, physical corner who can press and play zone. Is a good tackler. Isn't as fast or athletic as Rolle but has similar characteristics. Excels at covering the slot receiver. Has played safety and could be moved there.
