I did some research and wanted to share it with you fellow fans.
Coming into the year of their drafts these are the numbers on Terance Newman and Anthony Henry our current starting corners:
Terance Newman - 5ft. 10 inches, 205 lbs., 4.39 forty
Anthony Henry - 6ft. 1 inch, 205 lbs., 4.59 forty
This years corners:
Adam Jones - the year he was drafted was 5ft. 10 inches, 187 lbs., 4.40 forty
Mike Jenkins - 6ft. 0 inches, 200 lbs., 4.38 forty (tied for 5th fastest for cornerbacks at combine)
Orlando Scandrick - 5ft. 10 inches, 192 lbs., 4.32 forty (2nd fastest for cornerbacks at combine) He was projected to go late 2nd round.
While height might cause us some problems covering some of this years big name receivers taken in the draft, our cornerbacks are faster than they are. Our secondary should become one of our strenghts this season, instead of being our biggest weakness. Also, now we have many options on punt and kick off returners. I think we have definitely improved our defense and special teams, with the cornerbacks we have obtained!
