    I keep hearing people say that this corner class is a deep one. I don't know very much about the guys outside the top 5 or 6 rated corners. Who are some of the guys in rounds 3-5 who would represent good value? If any of the guys that have studied this position could give any information on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Aside from the guys you know about, I like Robert Alford, B.W. Webb, Darius Slay, Leon McFadden, Tharold Simon, Terry Hawthorne, Nickell Robey, Sanders Commings, Adrian Bushell, D.J. Hayden, Kahlid Wooten, Brandon McGee and Kayvon Webster. And I'm a little intrigued with Greg Reid too.

    What do you think of Dwayne Gratz and Steve Williams?

    A lot of the CBs looked good in agility drills and tested well at the combine. I liked what I saw of Brandon MCGee and Sanders Comings, both of whom I liked pre combine, and Darius Slay certainly impressed. McGee and Commings look to be solid values imo. Some others that looked good to me were BW Webb, Dwayne Gratz and Josh Johnson.

    Not a big fan of either to be honest.

    I forgot about Reid. If not for the ACL injury I'd be thinking more about Reid as a smaller CB who was a great kick returner,. playmaker and one heck of an athlete. To me he's a similar story to Tyron Matthieu as a playmaker with off field issues, but an even better athlete. Not sure what his outlook is, if the surgery and rehab went well. He was at Valdosta St. iirc after getting the boot from FSU.

    I think his off field issues aren't quite on the level of Tyrann Mathieu's insanity.
