I think we can offically say that this cements his place as the number 1 CB. Whats the downside to this guy? He has the speed, size, and athletic ability. He should be the pick. But I think the Ravens or Patriots might take him now. With all the other CB's theres something you can complain about. With this guy, hes the total package.

I don't think the Patriots value the CB position high enough to justify taking him that high.. That's evident by their letting Ty Law and Asante Samuel walk.. With the way the rules have changed to favor passing offense recently, it makes less sense to put a high value on a CB, and the Patriots use this philosophy.. Look who they have playing corner for them outside of Samuel.. Pretty much no names that they've coached up..

I think the Pats are going to try to move down, still get a quality player, and make up for the lost pick at the end of the first round..

The Ravens, on the other hand, could take him, especially with Harbaugh being a former secondary coach..
