Every NFL Defensive Coordinator wish they could just GAME PLAN and tell 10 GUYS of the 11 that's out there.........We just have to worry about the side opposite of HIM........WHOSE HIM?.......HIM is that beast we do not put a SAFETY over the TOP or BRACKET Coverage to his side.

Then you say well heck who would fit that bill now......look no further than Darrelle REVIS of the NY JETS aka REVIS ISLAND........but what if we need one of those ISLANDS now......there are 2 available.......one is PETERSON ISLAND by way of LSU Bengal TIGERS......the other AMUKAMARA ISLAND by way of NEBRASKA LINCOLN.......but are these ISLANDS or do I need to get a package deal with these like a SAFETY or LINEBACKER for added protection?.........NO

BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK HEADS.........MEET And GREET the Nicest Corners to come into the NFL DRAFT since REVIS ISLAND.......MR. PETERSON and MR. AMUKAMARA......Respectively.

These 2 CORNERBACKS will not get past the Houston TEXANS at PICK #11....trust me on that. With most mock drafts putting PETERSON in ARIZONA opposite of their All-PRO Corner Rodgers-CROMARTIE and the TEXANS getting AMUKAMARA to go opposite of Weak side Corner Kareem JACKSON.

The ARIZONA pick makes even more sense since the CARDS run that 3-4 Zone-Blitz PITTSBURGH STYLE which will make the BAll-Hawking PETERSON ever so dangerous in a lot of Zone Cover SCHEMES as well as BLITZ Packages where he comes off the edge.

The TEXANS picked the right guy KAREEM JACKSON out of 'BAMA last year but he struggled in the TEXANS SCHEME but so did that whole secondary as they sorely missed Free-AGENT Loss Dunta ROBINSON to the DIRTY BIRDS and it looked like the SAFETIES of the TEXANS missed him most....especially POLLARD.

ENTER Prince AMUKAMARA and his physical Corner style that resembles EX-Raven All-Pro Chris McCALLISTER from a size and physical standpoint. PRINCE would make an immediate IMPACT to the TEXANS secondary because he is dual Cover Corner like Bo PELINI and BIG RED.....MAN AND ZONE Cover SCHEMES.

Let's look at the tale of the TAPE:

Patrick PETERSON 6'1" 220 lbs LSU BAYOU BENGAL TIGERS

Strengths

Great Size and Speed
excellent HIPS and FEET
PHYSICAL Bump and Run all day
PLAY MAKER
EXCELLENT BALL SKILLS
EXCELLENT in the Kicking GAME as a Kickoff/Punt RETURNER
Excellent TACKLER in Open Field

Weaknesses

In Zone Coverage
Too much separation in ZONE COVERAGE from the WR
Can get him on Double Moves in Zone Coverage

NOTE: Consensus Pick as the BEST PLAYER in the DRAFT along with Texas A&M'S LB Von MILLER. Also PETERSON has immediate VALUE in the KICKING GAME AS WELL...that's a huge PLUS as a TEAM who gets him upgrades their Secondary and Special Teams

Prince AMUKAMARA 6'0" 205lbs BIG RED Nebraska CORNHUSKERS

Strengths

Excellent Reader of ROUTES
Very Good Anticipation
Diagnoses Plays Well
Very Good in Zone Coverage
Excellent at Disrupting WR Routes
Sure Tackler and VERY DURABLE
All the INTANGIBLES

Weaknesses

Only one really.....NOT AS ATHLETIC as you would like...but a GAMER
BALL-Hawking SKILLS...only 5 Interceptions in 27 chances

NOTE: A high School Point Guard who led his HS TEAM to 3 STATE TITLES....so all that LEADERSHIP and CONFIDENCE is there...and he should be able to translate that to the NFL LEVEL.

NOW the BLUEDUDE has taken you on a TOUR of these 2 ISLANDS......have you made up your MIND?.........I betcha the TOP 12 TEAMS in the NFL DRAFT have made their minds up. But if i had to take one CORNER in this draft it would be............PETERSON....because of the other VALUE he brings to the TEAM in the KICKING GAME at that high of a PICK.

OTHER CORNERS of NOTE

AARON WILLIAMS UT AUSTIN
Jimmy SMITH COLORADO BOULDER
BRANDON HARRIS the U CORAL GABLES
RAS-I DOWLING UVA CHARLOTTESVILLE
