We are picking at #27. On this list of the top 32 draft prospects there is
a CB at the 30 spot with the name of, drum roll please ...............
Cromartie!!! Can you imagine having 2 Cromarties back there!

If we are looking at dropping McCree could they go for a guy like Kenny
Phillips that has the speed and range to cover guys all over the field?

I think so. Here's some info I found on the web about him:

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
CB | (6'1", 181, 4.44) | TENNESSEE STATE

content below.

Strengths: Shows adequate top-end speed and can use long arms to knock
passes away when caught in a trail position. Gets adequate knee bend
in backpedal and shows adequate closing speed coming forward. Reads
quarterback's eyes, aggressive and jumps routes. Is tall and can
compete for jump balls. Has good ball skills, is a playmaker in
coverage and flashes the ability to pick up big chunks of yards after
turnovers. Plays with a good motor and makes plays in pursuit. Wraps
up upon contact and is a reliable open field tackler. Blocked a kick
last year and can contribute on special teams.

Weaknesses: Played at a small school and there is some concern about
ability to make the jump to the NFL. Doesn't have great bulk for frame
and bigger receivers will have some success shielding him from the
ball. Takes too long to open hips when forced to turn and run and
lacks the second gear to recover once caught out of position. Hasn't
great upper body strength, doesn't always use hands well and can take
too long to shed blocks.

Overall: Rogers-Cromartie has played in 33 games over the last three
seasons (2004-'06) recording 121 total tackles, six tackles for loss,
nine interceptions, and 14 pass breakups. Rodgers-Cromartie is a
playmaker who possesses a good blend of height and burst. However, he
is a small-school prospect and he doesn't have elite size or speed
raising concerns about his ability to compete at the NFL level.

hard to say what is the team's most glaring need...

I'd go for a NT/DT if a really good one is available, next a DE

depth at OL & DB can be had in the later rounds.

I hope they keep Turner the Burner another year, and not use a single
pick on another RB...

Draft Time to think possibilities {Wishful Thinking}: #1. OT Sam Baker, USC - A TOP Starter who could come in and START over anyone on the roster TODAY. #2. Trade Marvel Smith and whatever else necessary (players & picks) to get another FRDP, and take RB Jona

NFL Draft Can someone please tell me the date the NFL 2007 Draft begins? TIA Janey

Draft With the first pick I think we'd go of Howie I'd prefer McFadden, a great RB can help so much on both sides of the ball, but we are soooooo weak at DT that Dorsey would be real tough to pass up on if he was still available. Second Roun

'05 draft.. Anyone have any opinions on the '05 mock draft? How many QB's have the niners drafted in the past decade? Some of the draftniks say that they will try and draft a QB again. Same with Arizona drafting either a QB or RB. It's like a bad dream. What are
