CB Prospects

Jonathan Banks, my favorite CB in the draft. I also like Marcus Trufant a lot as well.


As far as Rhodes, I've heard it said that some expect him to move to free safety in the NFL, eitherway he's got a nice combination of skill, size and athleticism.

Jordan Poyer, 7 INTs at Oregon State in 2012, in my top 3 CBs with Banks and Milliner. Also like some 2nd and 3rd rd guys like Leon McFadden(San Diego State), Will Davis(Utah State), Johnny Adams(Mich State), Robert Alford(SE Louisiana), and Logan Ryan(Rutgers).

Edit: And Rhodes is also high on my list. My 4th CB. Desmond Trufant is my 5th best CB, likely 1st rd pick come april.

I love Banks too, and he might actually be more attainable towards the end of the first. For some reason I've seen a lot of mocks without him even in the first.

Poyer intrigues me too. I guess I like the size of Banks and Rhodes as guys bigger than what the 49ers already have.

I'm a HUGE fan of Jordan Poyer the Kid has great work ethics but obviously the 40 yard dash is huge where these CB draft value are

He has swag too

Xavier Rhodes by far is my favorite.

Heres a ranking of the Cbs this draft. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/probe.php?genpos=CB&draftyear=2013&sortby=tsxpos&order=ASC

we need ballskills at CB and safety. I'm tired of these DBs that throw their shoulders trying to break up a catch. just swat the ball and no one is gona catch it.... or pick it.

Thats what makes the seattle DBs so effective.

thy're playing the throwing lane and its really effective against physical receivers where you don't want to allow them to make a play on the ball. i mean it just got sad to watch our secondary get beat and the receivers make a play and all the safety could do was slide in with a weak tackle. i love me some tackles but i also like deflected passes and picks a little more.

robert alford is going to be a real good corner..i hope the niners dont reject him just because he is only 5-9

Tharold Simon of LSU and Melvin White of Louisiana Lafayette are my favorite "big" corners that we could target in the mid rounds

A late round guy is my favorite, Josh Johnson of Purdue. He was overshadowed by Kawann Short and the corner opposite him, Ricardo Allen, but he's a gamer. Lined up on the other teams best WRs most games. Shut down Aaron Dobson of Marshall when they played. Held Tyler Eifert to 2 coaches even though he gave up about 7 inches (Eifert finished with 4 catches, the other CB was responsible for the big plays). He has great ball skills and could see him going in the 5th-6th round area. Has experience returning punts also.

1st-3rd round
Jonathan Banks
Desmond Trufant
Jordan Poyer
David Amerson

4th-7th round
Tharold Simon
Travis Howard
Aaron Hester
Marcus Cromartie
Trey Wilson

of coourse the corners niners take need to be able to play in niners defensive scheme...that means, i think, guys who can play more man then zone
