Every year in my draft magazine, I get the opinions of 12 people in the NFL — director of player personnel chiefs, scouts and NFL coaches — to rate the top 105 players currently in the NFL.

For some this may come as a surprise, but the team with the top starting cornerbacks in the NFL was the Cincinnati Bengals. The duo of Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph got four of the 12 first-place votes and beat out the New York Jets’ Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. Revis and Cromartie received three votes.

I''m not really surprised Bengals won. Cromartie has been kinda a eh corner back recently. I think he's gonna end up being replaced by Kyle Wilson later in the year, or next year.

That would be the best CB duo.

Cro was never as good as advertised. His huge season, almost all of his pics came from being out of position, and the ball was tipped to where he was but shouldn't have been. Once offenses figured him out, his production fell off the face of the earth. I live in SD and unfortunately, even all the fairweather charger fans know this to be true.

I really would not expect us to get many votes. The fact that we play cover 2 rarely our CBs cover one on one. The only place I think we do that is in the red zone. Besides Im still waiting for someone to take Ken Lucas's spot. Gambles best years were with him and without looking at the stats I dont think he has came close to repeating them.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
