1. Patrick Peterson, LSU
Not just the top corner in the draft, but the best overall player. Hands down. Peterson is blessed with the size of a linebacker and the speed of a lightning bolt making him a jaw-dropping specimen. Aside from his skills locking down receivers, Peterson also will add a plus to any special teams unit with his dazzling kick/punt return capabilities. And since he's so awesome you get a video. Feast your eyes upon greatness...
2. Prince Amukamara, Nebraska
Amukamara was the consensus 1st Team All-American selection at corner opposite of Peterson this season, and he also has seen his draft stock soar over the past year or so. Prince has all the tools necessary to be a solid starting CB, and possesses the speed needed to stay with NFL wide outs.
3. Jimmy Smith, Colorodo
At 6'2 Smith has about two inches on most corners, which obviously plays into his favor quite nicely. His height and length allow him to really get into receivers on the line and also make very nice plays on balls in the air.
4. Brandon Harris, Miami
For a corner, Harris has average speed, average/below average height, and average build. However if you watch the guy play, you know he's more than just an average player. Harris is a natural, and has a really fluid backpedal and great instincts on the ball.
5. Johnny Patrick, Louisville
Patrick could end up being the sleeper of the group, as he is a guy you generally don't hear a lot of talk about. Patrick started for 3.5 years at Louisville, and in his senior season picked off 5 balls, had 12 breakups, and was named a Big-East 1st Team player. Last July he ran into some trouble with the law, which could scare off some teams and cause him to fall a little.
