1. Leodis McKelvin, 5-11, 190, Sr., Troy. The top prospect, according to most draft experts. Must answer questions about the level of competition at Troy, though he showed well in Senior Bowl practices.
2. Aqib Talib, 6-1, 202, Jr., Kansas. Great size, athleticism and instincts. Reportedly admitted failing drug tests in college but still should be one of the first corners off the board.
3. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, 6-2, 184, Sr., Tennessee State. Another small-school prospect scouts like who showed well against better competition in the Senior Bowl. Like his cousin, Chargers Pro Bowl corner Antonio Cromartie, he is fast.
4. Mike Jenkins, 6-0, 200, Sr., South Florida. A big part of the Bulls' surge to national prominence. Has the size teams covet and bounced back from off-field issues.
5. Antoine Cason, 6-0, 190, Sr., Arizona. Displayed great ball skills playing against pro-style offenses in the Pacific-10 Conference. Good instincts make up for questionable speed.
