NFL Top 5 Cornerbacks

im just curious what your guys opinion is, so list your top 5 corners

 

Cromartie
Bailey
Hall
Trufant
Newman

good, but not quite ^

Samuel, Nnamdi, Woodson, Clements

 

Bailey
Cromartie
Asamouagh (sp?)
Clements
Newman

 

Champ Baily is number one

Nnamdi Asuomahgu (I know that is a homer selection but i won't be surprised to see him on other lists as well.)

Ronde Barber

asante samuel. he might just be a system star that will be shown this year.

DeAngelo Hall

 

Bailey
Asomugha
Hall
Cromartie
Ike Taylor

 

not a surprise that champ is at the top of all the lists

and my man nnamdi on most of them as well

 

Cromartie
Hall
Clements
Trufant
Bailey

 

Cromartie
Trufant
Bailey
Newman
Samuel

 

hall gets beat soooooo much and is owned by top receivers, he is NOWHERE near the top 5
If we are going best corner:

Champ Bailey
Rashean Mathis - I can't believe not one mention of him yet
Antonio Cromartie
Marcus Trufant
Asante Samuel


Also
Dunta Robinson - if he wasn't hurt, he would be higher right behind champ, IMO
Nmadi Asomugha
Antoine Winfield
Nate Clements
Terrance Newman
Ashton Youboty - gonna be a great one

 

i agree youboty is going to be amazing

 

In no particular order I would have; DeAngelo Hall, Nate Clements, Asante Samuel, Rashean Mathis and Nmadi Asamougha as my top 5 CBs in the NFL.

As you can see, I haven't included Marcus Trufant as my personal opinion is not high of him, and I believe that Champ Bailey is now in the decline of a good career.

Cromartie might have gotten a mention in there but I named my first five, maybe if he proves it wasn't just one good year this coming season he'll be on my list.

 

Nnamdi Asamougha
Champ Bailey
Rashean Mathis
Marcus Trufant
Asante Samuels

 

Champ Bailey
Nnamdi Asamougha
Antonio Cromartie
Marcus Trufant
Rashean Mathis

 

How the heck is Cromartie near the top 5 after 1 year? Yeah he had a good year and made some big plays but I saw him get beat a fair bit and hes pretty weak in run support. Hes not yclose to being top 5 yet.

 

I have him in my Top 5 frankly because of last year and none of the other guys impress me enough to be Top 5 talent. I think Samuel is a bit overrated as I do with D'Angelo Hall. I think Rashean Mathis is underrated, I also think Ike Taylor is underrated (however, I didn't put him in the Top 5 b/c I don't think he is Top 5.)

True that it's only one year...

 

Mathis is on every list since mine, nice

Im a trendsetter

 

Thank you!!!! mike for saying rashean mathis. its unbelivable nobody even mentioned him before u, Also i dont like hall as top five. i kind of want to see how cromartie follows up this year but overall good lists guys.

 

Meh, that's only because you posted before me. He was definitely going on my list anyway. :icon_wink:

 

Seriously....

IMO a "top 5 cb" has to be somebody you don't mess with and when you do he makes you pay for it. He also needs to face the leagues best wr's and show how he adds up over the course of a couple years. Being stout in run support is a must for me as well.

1. C. Bailey
2. A. Winfield
3 R. Mathis
4. N. Asomugha ( simple fact, nobody tests him and wont throw at him)
5. Trufaunt/ Newman it's a toss up with theses two.

 

D'oh! Totally forgot about Mathis, replace Cromartie with him on my list.

This is a tough one to rate, because it depends very much on what you are rating them on. The CB position is very dynamic and requires alot of different skill sets, so its really hard to determine whether someone who is just a flat out baller (Mathis) is better than a game-changing big play maker (Cromartie). Either way D. Hall shouldn't be on anyones list...
