Eric DeCosta, Director of Player Personnel for the Ravens, gave a thumbnail evaluation on the top five cornerbacks before combine workouts this weekend. Here’s what he had to say about them:
Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State “Very good size, very good speed. He’s physical. Some teams may project him to safety because he is so physical. Very good ball skills and big-play ability.”
Vontae Davis, Illinois “Very explosive, tremendous speed, tremendous strength. A little bit undisciplined with some of his technique. Of all the corners in the draft, he probably has the most ability, the most upside.”
D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt “A junior, he has quickness, speed, good cover ability. A very good player who plays as a receiver and on special teams. Can play inside or outside.”
Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest “Very polished guy, very quick, but undersized. Very good playmaker. Can play inside at the nickel position, can play outside. Very smart.”
Darius Butler, Connecticut “Very athletic guy, very quick feet, has some durability questions about him. Plays as a receiver and also returns punts and kicks. Very good ball skills, big-play ability.”
