The talent is deep in the Secondary unlike in the 2013 NFL Draft. If there is a need to get a Corner or Safety in the 1st round this is your draft as they maybe at least four to five with 1st round grades. The Top 5 Prospects at Safety and Corner and the Top 5 Teams that might pull the trigger on one or the other.

Top 5 Corners/Safeties in the 2014 NFL Draft

1. CB Darqueze Dennard #Sparty 4.51 40 yd dash

He is a bump and run in your mug CB that is physical playing that Michigan State Physical Style at the point of attack. He ran good enough to arguably be the #1 CB taken.

2. SS Calvin Pryor #UofLCards 4.58 40 yd dash

He is a violent-physical safety that is more of a Box-Safety but played Free at the 'Ville. Could be the first Safety off the Board but has Company.

3. CB Justin Gilbert #OKState 4.37 40 yd dash

He is faster than Dennard and gives you more value as he is a Monster in the Kicking Game as well. His sub 4.4 puts him on the Top of the CB Draft Board.

4. FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix #Bama 4.58 40 yard dash

A true Center Fielder and he is too smooth on the hash and can slide down and cover the Slot or even the Outside. Like Pryor, Dennnard, and Gilbert the "Plug and Play" Play Makers on the back end Clinton-Dix is.

5. CB Kyle Fuller #BeamerBallBlacksburg 4.49 40 yd dash

Coming out of Va Tech ...enough said. DB/Safety U has another one and that 4.49 40 yard dash was fast. Now he can maybe lock up late 1st or early 2nd Slot at his Pro Day.

Others CBs/Safeties worth mentioning....

CB Jason Verett #TCU 4.38 40 yd dash
CB LaMarcus Joyner #FSU 4.55 40 yd dash
CB Bradley Roby #OhioSt 4.39 40 yd dash


Teams needing CBs/Safeties

Draft Number Team

#10 #RestoreTheRoar...Lions need immediate help at Safety as they key Vet Safety Lou Delmas test Free Agency

#11 #MusicCityTitans...With Michael Griffin gaging they need another Safety to go with him on the back end as CB Alterraun Verner is the truth.

#12 G-Man...They need a Backer or Two but they also need an influx of youth in the Secondary at both Safety and Corner.

#14 #BelieveInMonsters...the Bears Safeties are horrible even Major Harris and they need to get Clinton-Dix or Pryor if they are there and with Peanut Tillman walking they might even go Dennard or Gilbert in an huge area of need.

#15 #SteelerNation...Clark has to be gone and #43 might have a season or two left as does Ike Swaggin' U. They Steelers Zone-Cover Scheme really doesn't warrant a high pick at CB but it does at Safety. In 2013 if the Saints didn't pull the trigger on Hookem' Horns Safety Vaccaro he would have been a Steeler.

Remember DBs/ Safeties have a lot of value as they are all over the Kicking Game as Gunners, Return Teams, and Kickoff Teams...
