    Feelings are mixed. Don't like him as a 15. Would be ok with either him or Fuller in a trade down. Would love him in the 2nd, no matter who we picked in the 1st.

    I seen a mock with him going to us in the second. I thought he was a solid 1st? I don't know much about him other than the two games I seen him this year he looked average to me. I think one was mich st and maybe Clemson not sure now. do people here think he is the 3rd best or better?

    Most (not nearly all) have Dennard and Gilbert as the top two, then Roby, Fuller, and Verrett as the next three. Depending on who takes what, they could all go first round, more than likely one or more falls into the early to mid second round.

    Looking at this scouting report Roby seems to be a pretty solid corner, maybe we can get lucky and draft him in the second round with a trade up: By Jeff Haynes/Associated Press This year's corner class is very good and we could see three or four go in the first round. In most drafts, there are an average of 12-15 corners selected in the first three rounds. I see no reason for it to be any different in this year's draft. That said, here is a close look at my five top rated corners this year. 5. Bradley Roby, Ohio State Roby was a three-year starter for Ohio State and usually lined up on the short side of the field. He was a consistently productive player and had eight career interceptions. At 5'11", 194 lbs he has just about ideal size. He also has long arms that allow him to play taller than he measures. He has the speed (4.39), quickness, turn and body control needed to excel at the next level. Ohio State doesn't play as much press man as some schools but when asked, Roby showed a good jam and can turn and run with just about any receiver. When in off and zone coverage, he showed top receiver awareness and anticipation. He was seldom out of position and will help out others when free. Roby has good ball skills, showing the skills to track the balls either in front of him or when his back is to the ball. He consistently catches the ball cleanly. Like the others in this group of corners, Roby is an excellent run support corner who can shed blocks and tackle. He shows he can be a big hitter, but he needs to do a better job wrapping up. Overall, he should be able to play to come in and play early in any scheme. He has the talent to ascend to a very solid No. 2 corner for most teams in the NFL.

    Awesome, I like Roby. It's going to be interesting to see where he falls in the draft. His athleticism could get him into the first round maybe.

    I like Roby! Fuller too. Would be happy with either of these guys in a trade down over Dennard at 15.

    I would take Roby or Fuller even if Dennard were still available.

    really, why? not arguing just asking cause I haven't heard anyone say that. I thought dennard was at worst the 2nd best cb available

    I've watched about 5-6 games of each guy, and my impression is that Dennard is at his best playing press man coverage (which we rarely do), and both Roby and Fuller look better than Dennard in off coverage (which we do a lot more). If I were picking for a team that plays a lot of press man, I'd probably go with Dennard as the #2 corner after Gilbert, but for us I like Roby and Fuller a lot more.

    I wouldn't want Roby at #15 but would take him in the 2nd though.
