The hardest thing to find in the NFL today is a shut down cornerback. While there may not be any Champ Bailey’s in this year’s draft class, there are several cornerbacks who should make an impact early in their careers. Michigan’s Leon Hall dominated in Big 10 play before he met the Ohio State receivers, and should be the first corner chosen. Fresno State’s Marcus McCauley was considered a top 10 selection last year, but decided to go back to school for his senior season. His stock has dropped considerably in the past year, and he may now find himself out of the first round. A pair of juniors, Pitt’s Darrelle Revis and Arkansas’ Chris Houston, could also be chosen in round one.
