| Rank | Rnd | Name | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1st | Joe Haden Florida | Terrific all around cornerback that shuts down opponents. Physical, possesses good ball skills and really took his game to another level this season. Expected to enter the draft and will be the first corner drafted. |
| 2 | 1-2 | Kyle Wilson Boise State | Solid zone/man-off cover who also produces as a return specialist. Moving up draft boards and could end up as a top sixty pick. |
| 3 | 2nd | Perrish Cox Oklahoma State | Strong defensive back who lacks great instincts and is slow to react. Better facing the action. Graded by many scouts as the top senior cornerback in the 2010 draft. |
| 4 | 2nd | Kareem Jackson Alabama | Terrific young cornerback prospect with a high upside. Possesses size and plays with great strength. Must brush up his game but a very good future cornerback. |
| 5 | 2nd | Devin McCourty Rutgers | Size/speed guy who flashes skill yet must learn to play consistently at a high level. Great special teams player that's improved as a defensive back. |
| 6 | 2-3 | Dominique Franks Oklahoma | Exciting young corner with all the tools to be a starter in the NFL. Terrific upside and offers great physical skills as well as size/speed numbers. Needs a lot of work on his instincts. Expected to enter the draft. |
| 7 | 2-3 | Patrick Robinson Florida State | Physically dominant cornerback who beats down opponents to defend the pass or stop the run. Will mix it up throughout the route, shows a good move to the ball and uses his large frame to box out receivers. A little to aggressive at times and often gets called for pass interference. Also does a bit of face guarding but offers a good upside. Not as good as his reputation and watched his draft grade slide a bit in 2009. |
| 8 | 2-3 | Brandon Ghee Wake Forest | Tremendous cover corner with elite size and speed. Physical, takes on opponents and voluntarily defends the run or beats down opponents to stop the pass. Has been a terrific player right out of the gate at Wake Forest. |
| 9 | 2-3 | Chris Cook Virginia | Underrated cornerback that's done a great job this season since returning to UVA. |
| 10 | 2-3 | Joshua Moore Kansas State | Physical and aggressive cornerback constantly flying around the ball. Solid ball skills in coverage. |
| 11 | 3rd | Alterraun Verner UCLA | Forceful cornerback with nice size. Fires up the field in run defense, beats down opponents to defend the throw and effectively reads and diagnoses plays. Lacks top end speed and best in either a zone system. |
| 12 | 3rd | Jerome Murphy South Florida | Terrific athlete whose game is characterized by speed, quickness and suddenness. Big and strong enough to out muscle opponents for the ball yet does not play with consistent mechanics and does a lot of face guarding. |
| 13 | 3rd | Amari Spievey Iowa | Highly rayed junior scouts rank higher than Bradley Fletcher or Charles Godfrey, both third round picks. |
| 14 | 3-4 | Javier Arenas Alabama | Physical cornerback who helps out as a return specialist. Lacks elite corner speed and may need to be placed in a system which protects him. Greatest contributions may come on special teams. |
| 15 | 3-4 | Syd'Quan Thompson California | Strong, aggressive cornerback with solid ball skills. Best in press coverage. Lacks top end speed and will be downgraded as a result. Pre-draft forty times are critical. |
| 16 | 4-5 | Donovan Warren Michigan | Nice sized corner who beats down opponents to defend the ball. Has shown flashes of brilliance shutting down opponents yet must do it on a consistent basis. |
| 17 | 5th | Kevin Thomas USC | Solid cornerback prospect coming off a breakout season. Possesses the athleticism and ball skills to play at the next level yet needs time to develop his game. |
| 18 | 5-6 | Dennis Rogan Tennessee | Physical college cornerback who may be better off at safety. Plays heads up football, displays solid awareness and also helps out on special teams. |
| 19 | 5-6 | Devin Ross Arizona | Adequate corner who would be best in zone or bump and run coverage. No single outstanding trait in his game but possibly a nickel/dime back at the next level. |
| 20 | 5-6 | Trevard Lindley Kentucky | Adequate cornerback who never really elevated his game. Displays solid ball skills yet lacks NFL corner speed and may only fit certain systems. Struggled with injury as a senior. Gets beaten a lot. Looked like a star in the making as a sophomore. |
| 21 | 5-6 | Jamar Wall Texas Tech | Feisty cornerback who does not back down to the competition. Quick up the field defending the run and has a nice break to the ball out of his plant. Best in man-on-man coverage. |

| 23 | 6th | Brian Jackson Oklahoma | Tremendous athlete with terrific size. Forceful run defender but lacks instincts against the pass and possesses marginal ball skills. |
| 24 | 6th | Crezdon Butler Clemson | Aggressive run defending safety best in the box or up the field. |
| 25 | 6-7 | Chris Hawkins LSU | Underrated corner with solid ball skills. Effective in man coverage, runs with receivers downfield and gives it up against screen passes. |
| 26 | 6-7 | Walter Thurmond Oregon | Small, slowish corner who works hard. Knee injury put him on the sidelines early this season. Opportunistic and could play in a zone system. |
| 27 | 6-7 | Sherrick McManis Northwestern | Physical defensive back best facing the action. Effectively reads plays an shows a nice move to the ball. Lacks top end speed and likely best in zone coverage. |

| 35 | 7-FA | A.J. Jefferson Fresno State | Great athlete with a terrific combination of size and speed but a player who really needs to polish his game.
