I am grouping the CB and S position together because both positons lack depth. CBs have a decent group in the 2nd-4th round, but there is quite a drop off after the top 2.
DB POSITION GRADE: B+1. Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State 6'0 205
Malcolm Jenkins was dominate throughout his career at Ohio State. He played well enough to play time at both CB and S. He is the definition of a ball hawk. Does not have ideal speed for corner in the NFL, but is not slow. Should play FS, but could be a great corner as well. Top-notch defensive back prospect. Should be gone by the 20th pick.DRAFT GRADE: 95
2. Vontae Davis CB Illinois 5'11 203
Physically, he is exactly what you want at corner. Elite speed and overall athleticism, but from time takes plays, even series off. Cousin of Vernon Davis, and has a lot of the same characteristics as a football player. Will impress you when you watch him go through drills and practice. When you spend time looking at game film though you will be dissappointed quite a bit.
DRAFT GRADE: 83Delmas had a terrific showing at the Senior Bowl, moving himself into the top safety spot in the draft. He played at Western Michigan University in the MAC, therefor he did not get a lot of attention. He is an aggressive safety that will make plays both on balls in the air, and ball carriers on the ground. He will definitely make mistakes in the passing game, as well as overpursuing from time to time. His upside though, far outways the negatives associated with Delmas.
DRAFT GRADE:82
4. Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest 5'9 190
4 year starter with 21 career interceptions. Top notch athlete, was a return man in college. Great ball skills, and extremely confident in his abilities. Good leaper, has made plays consistently throughout his entire career at Wake. Smith will see his name come off the board by the time we get to pick 40, if not earlier.
DRAFT GRADE: 82
5. William Moore S Mizzou 6'0 220
Strong Safety prospect who has fallen throughout the year. Was once a top ten prospect, and now could fall to the bottom of the 2nd round. Has had issues in coverage, but makes many plays against the run. Has great size, but possibly may lack the essential skills to cover deep in NFL Cover 2 and Cover 3 packages. Moore is still the 2nd best safety prospect, but has lost a lot of luster in the past few months. Was out played in Mobile.
DRAFT GRADE: 77
