That is minute even by cornerback standards

5) Pat Angerer, IowaA true undersized LB prospect with a high motor, Angerer was almost out of football at one point due to injuries. Now healthy, he is setting career marks on the defensive side of the ball. A proven zone defender, he will be best fit on a Tampa Two scheme. 6) Darryl Sharpton, Miami The last few spots on this list are very open to interpretation as these last two could be second-day picks. Sharpton is a good prospect who lacks elite size and athleticism but has a dearth of experience and multiple linebacker positions. Honorable Mentions: Joe Pawelek, Baylor; Micah Johnson, Kentucky; Reggie Carter, UCLA..

Featured: Syd'Quan Thompson, CaliforniaThis is another class that needs junior help. This year might not be any different as the top CB prospect in either class, Eric Berry, is actually a safety The next top prospect, Joe Haden, is a junior. The top senior prospect in the nation is Patrick Robinson who is a physical freak but has been exposed this season. All-in-all, this class is deep but lacks star quality and most are considered niche defenders. 1) Patrick Robinson, Florida StateNo cornerback prospect is rougher around the edges than Patrick Robinson.

It is scary to think that Robinson was at one time committed to Florida and could be locking up defenses with Joe Haden right now.An amazing athlete, Robinson needs a lot of work but has special teams ability to tide a team over as he matures. 2) Brandon Ghee, Wake ForestA better overall prospect than current Denver Bronco, Alphonso Smith, Ghee is another raw talent who has nice size for the position and is known for being a big hitter. Ghee would be best fit on a team who runs zoneutilizing their cornerbacks heavily in run support. 3) Trevard Lindley, KentuckyLindley is, by far, the best cover corner in the draft However, he is also 5'11", 180 pounds. That is minute even by cornerback standards.Lindley also is useless from a special teams standpoint. If he doesn't bulk up between now and the draft he will find himself dropping and never able to get out of sub packages. 4) Syd'Quan Thompson, CaliforniaAnother pure niche guy and another undersized player, Thompson must find his way onto a team which prefers zone coverages.In man, he simply cannot match up with the size and physicality of NFL receivers In zone, he could be very useful, even as a rookie.

5) Kyle Wilson, Boise StateA small pure cover corner who will have a tough time making his mark at the next level. Can make up for lack of size with good physicality and very good backpedal and transition. 6) Javier Arenas, AlabamaAnd these prospects just keep getting smaller. Arenas, the cousin of "Agent Zero," Gilbert Arenas, is not a legitimate cornerback for the NFL.However, he may be the best return man in the nation. He has all the physical tools and could end up being a gadget player for the team that drafts him.
