In the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, Commissioner Roger Goodell called the names of seven very talented defensive backs, including five cornerbacks.
While this year's draft class is one of the weakest safety classes in recent years, once again, the cornerback position is chock full of talent.
Unlike last year, in which the last two corners taken may have, at the time, seemed like reaches (Devin McCourty and Patrick Robinson), this year's cornerbacks are all pure first-round potential guys.
And to respond to what you're thinking about my last statement, yes I understand how terrific of a year McCourty had with the New England Patriots, but there were very few experts and analysts who believed that he was nothing more than a reach and a special teams specialist.
This year's talent is nothing more than extraordinary. Chances are that all five of these cornerbacks go in the first round, and some of them will have teams trading up to grab them out of desperation.
A stud cornerback is one of the hardest positions to fill on the roster, but once you find one, it is well worth the risk as you can see with the Jets' Darrelle Revis and McCourty.
Without much further adieu, I give you my top five cornerback power rankings of the 2011 NFL draft.
