2012 NFL Draft - Top Prospects

Cornerbacks

Morris Claiborne - CB - LSU

Height: 6'0 | Weight: 173 | Born: February 7, 1990 (age 21)

Claiborne will likely add some size once he reaches the pros, but he is already an elite cover corner. The LSU product has good speed and can also do damage as a return man.

Janoris Jenkins - CB - Florida/University of North Alabama

Height: 5'10 | Weight: 183 | Born: October 29, 1988 (age 23)

Jenkins was dismissed from Florida in early 2011 after his second drug-related arrest in three months. After spending the 2011 season at the University of North Alabama, the skilled corner is still a top talent.

Dre Kirkpatrick - CB - Alabama

Height: 6'3 | Weight: 192 | Born: October 26, 1989 (age 22)

Kirkpatrick and Claiborne are the top two cornerbacks coming out of the NCAA this season and both project to be outstanding defensive backs in the NFL. Kirkpatrick also has the height to match up with any receiver.

Alfonzo Dennard - CB - Nebraska

Height: 5'10 | Weight: 205 | Born: September 9, 1989 (age 22)

Dennard doesn't have the hands to lead the league in interceptions, but his coverage ability cannot be questioned. Dennard excels in press coverage when he can disrupt the receivers pattern and stay close.

Safeties

Mark Barron - S - Alabama

Height: 6'2 | Weight: 218 | Born: October 27, 1989 (age 22)

Barron stands far and above the rest of this year's safety class. As a linchpin on the Alabama defence, Barron has shown that he is solid against in pass defence and excellent against against the run.
