Here is a bio on your 1st rounder. Sounds a lot like what we already have... From nflcountdown... Carlos Rogers Official Bio College: Auburn Height: 6-03/8 Position: Cornerback Weight: 196 Class: Senior 40-Yard: 4.35 SCOUTING REPORT Strengths: Excellent size and speed for the position...Tough player who will fight through injuries...Great athleticism...Good ball skills and has become a a playmaker as a senior...Has a lot of experience and made an impact early on as a freshman. Weaknesses: Doesn't always play up to his physical tools...Isn't a great tackler...Not very stout against the run...Has a lot of work to do in terms of his technique...Needs to master the nuances of the position rather than relying on his physical gifts so much. Notes: Has just the type of size / speed ratio you are looking for in an NFL corner...A bit of an underachiver throughout his career but came on as a senior...You can bet some team will be more than willing to take a chance on a player with his physical tools and he could go a little higher than his play on the field would suggest. |

One man's trash...

Carlos Rogers has always been a solid football player, but he truly emerged his senior season. He took home the Thorpe Award for the nations top defensive back, after totaling 47 tackles, 5 for loss, with 2 interceptions. For his career, he had 181 tackles, 7 interceptions, and 45 pass breakups. Rogers is a great all around corner prospect. He has good size, speed, and athleticism. What makes him a great player however is his attitude. He’s tough, will get in your face, and never give up. He’s just a great football player. He can turn and run with most receivers, make plays on the ball, but will also make a hit in the running game. He has very good instincts and can play bump, man up, or in zone coverage. Rogers has a lot of experience, but he still relies on talent too much. He needs to get with a coach to teach him the corner spot, and to help him reach his full potential. He could get stronger too, which will help him keep the jam on receivers at the line and help him finish off more tackles. Rogers took a big step forward this season, and it has resulted in a first round grade. I expect him to hear his name called in the last half of the first round, but with great workouts, he may go earlier than that. He has big time upside, and should be a very good NFL corner. Pick your poison. xoxo~ Gaz Can find positive and negative reviews of just about every player out there. |

Can find positive and negative reviews of just about every player out there. I agree after reading through tons of player bios and mocks over the past month that is a very true statement. But there are certain weakness that can't be taught or it could mean that player just does not have the attitude to be strong in that area. One weakness I HATE to see is, Isn't a great tackler...Not very stout against the run... That is about attitude. Does a CB have to have that, probably not, but that is one of the reasons I always hated Deion.
