The Sporting News' analysis of DRC
This from a draft publication that just two weeks ago had the Dolphins picking Ryan Clady with the first overall pick. I have subscribed to their "War Room" every year and this site usually tries to have a different opinion from what most experts have. I really don't know why I waste my money every year for their "service."

TSN is the only website, I guarantee, that has DRC rated as the #10 cornerback prospect. BTW, their 11th CB? Aqib Talib.
