Ranking Rookie CBs (1 Viewer)

[CB31]

How would you rank the top 5 CBs taken this year in the NFL Draft (those being Joe Haden, Kyle Wilson, Kareem Jackson, Devin McCourty, and Patrick Robinson) in a dynasty league? Is any one of those guys heads and shoulders above the rest, and are there any other names that you'd put higher than these 5?

Edit:

I have heard good things on this site about Kareem Jackson mainly and his potential for starting off the bat.

I have actually heard on this site about Sherrick McManus, who the Texans drafted in the 5th round. Apparently he has a pretty clear shot at the starting job, and they expected him to produce.

I remember him from Northwestern. I'll check into his situation more.

Jackson and Quinn will most likely be the starters for Houston.

I'd go with Jackson, teams should be testing the rookie a little bit. Starting rookie corners are fantasy gold, in their second year not so much. I don't have a handle on the Browns secondary, but I guess Haden is going to see a lot of playing time as well.

It's still only pre-season...but....

Joe Haden-DB- Browns Jul. 18 - 8:27 pm et

"Coaches around the league" tell NFL.com's Mike Lombardi that Browns first-round pick Joe Haden struggled at minicamps.

Haden "might not have enough speed to play corner," writes Lombardi. Lombardi notes that there were conflicting opinions inside the franchise as to whether the Browns should take Haden or Kyle Wilson 7th overall. They went with the more highly touted Haden, and it apparently isn't looking great so far.

Wasn't this a concern coming in? He ran a 4.57 at the combine but a 4.39 at his pro day. And his game speed seemed closer to the 4.39 than the 4.57. Still, like you said, it's something to keep an eye on.
