Defensive Back Times
Some notable forty times Tuesday at cornerback and safety. Cornerback is so tightly bunched that the Combine is looming larger than ever for this group. All these times are unofficial.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - 4.28
Justin King - 4.31
Leodis McKelvin - 4.35
Mike Jenkins - 4.40
Aquib Talib - 4.47
Antoine Cason - 4.49
Brandon Flowers - 4.54
Kenny Phillips - 4.55
Chevis Jackson - 4.58
Cromartie probably is in the first round now. His cousin Antonio was seen as a reach when he was taken in the first round a few years back. That worked out pretty well.
McKelvin probably made himself the favorite to be the first cornerback taken. Brandon Flowers is a very physical corner who could go anywhere in the first round, but this won't help him. He might fit better in the Cover Two. Jenkins and Talib are also in the mix to be the first cornerback taken and didn't hurt themselves - especially Talib considering his size.
Incidentally, this is NFL Network's best day of coverage because all their analysts are defensive backs. Lot of good insight if you have time to kill.
