SteVo+ 3,702 Posted April 19, 2011 The List 1. Darrelle Revis, New York Jets 2. Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland Raiders 3. Charles Woodson, Green Bay Packers 4. Asante Samuel, Philadelphia Eagles 5. Champ Bailey, Denver Broncos 6. Antoine Winfield, Minnesota Vikings 7. Tramon Williams, Green Bay Packers 8. Devin McCourty, New England Patriots 9. DeAngelo Hall, Washington Redskins 10. Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee Titans ESPN.com’s NFL writers rank the top 10 cornerbacks in the league today. Next week: Top 10 quarterbacks. Positional power rankings have produced some wild variations in voting. But none has had so many players mentioned as cornerbacks. Previously, multiple votes had yielded 17 names. Our polling for the top 10 cornerbacks in the NFL touched on 23, a record that might be hard to break. In another close finish, the Jets' Darrelle Revis edged the Raiders' Nnamdi Asomugha. The two collected all the first- and second-place votes, but Revis outscored Asomugha 77-75 thanks to five first-place votes. Overall, veterans ruled the day, with the top five outpointing the rest of the field by a good deal. Revis and Asomugha were followed by three players with a collective 33 seasons of NFL cornerbacking experience: Green Bay’s Charles Woodson, Philadelphia’s Asante Samuel and Denver’s Champ Bailey. Woodson finished with 58 points, Samuel with 54 and Bailey with 53. Rest of article including voting breakdown: http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/post/_/id/23050/power-rankings-top-10-nfl-cornerbacks -------------------------- Overall this isn't bad compared to some lists ESPN has done, but DeAngelo Hall? Holy hell. Drop him out entirely and throw Brandon Flowers in there somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted April 19, 2011 No Brandon Flowers is downright embarrassingly terrible....good fucking grief.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krawnka 282 Posted April 19, 2011 After seeing Flowers get embarrassed by Jacoby Ford...I'd have to agree, that he doesn't belong in the top 10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) No Talib? Fail. He's easily better than Hall and McCourty has ONE season under his belt. Edited April 19, 2011 by KiLaSix9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted April 19, 2011 Why is DeAngelo on this list? Probably because he picked off the same [overrated] QB like 4 times in one game. lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted April 19, 2011 The bottom half of that list sucks ass. The Tramon Williams and Devin McCourty slurp fest has gotten so old. DeAngelo Hall being on there is a disgrace. Where the hell is Brandon Flowers, Jonathan Joseph and Aqib Talib? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted April 19, 2011 I'm actually kind of surprised Newman didn't get a single vote. I don't think he's top ten, but he's top 25, I'd say. It seems like the top 23-25 mostly got votes. I'd take him over some of the corners who missed out on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) 2 Packer CBs in the top 10 . Although this list does need some work. Drop Hall and McCourty, have Flowers in the top 10 and a toss up between Joseph and Talib for the other spot.

BradyFan81 404 Posted April 20, 2011 McCourty needs to put up another great year to be considered a top 10 CB. Hall, Winfield, Finnigan..WTF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted April 20, 2011 FW and Bay have solid lists. Get rid of the ESPN panel and here these guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoneKrusher+ 1,276 Posted April 20, 2011 After seeing Flowers get embarrassed by Jacoby Ford...I'd have to agree, that he doesn't belong in the top 10. yep, the speedy wr's gave Flowers fits. also, over the last 4 weeks of last season Brandon Carr played much better than Brandon Flowers.

Bay 2,003 Posted April 20, 2011 McCourty needs to put up another great year to be considered a top 10 CB. Hall, Winfield, Finnigan..WTF? Winfield belongs imo. Him and Chad Greenway were the only real bright spots on that Vikings D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phenomenal TJ 28 Posted April 20, 2011 lol Cortland Finnegan's only on there because ESPN still feels bad about him getting his ass kicked on national TV. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted April 20, 2011 No, it's more like Cortland Finnegan is being underrated because he got his ass kicked on national TV. People hate the person so they feel the need to think he sucks, for whatever reason, when in all reality he's a very solid #1, and can be argued as a top 10 CB. 9 or 10 placing is by no means an outrageous ranking for him. He went from being overrated(in 08, being called by some as the best CB in football), to rated just about right(09, was rated in the lower parts/just outside the top 10, to now underrated(being called terrible, doesn't belong in the top 20 list, much less top 10, etc). It's funny how one incident, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with his actual play changes how people view a player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phenomenal TJ 28 Posted April 20, 2011 He plays tough, but there are better corners out there. Sucks to be Ike Taylor though, really good cover man, but has worse hands than Braylon Edwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
