At the NFL Combine, he put up a slightly slower time at 4. Unfortunately, Dowling has injury issues that the Raiders should be concerned about.
Dowling injured his hamstring prior to the season and was forced to sit out the first two games. Upon returning, he injured his knee and eventually had off-season surgery on it. At times, Dowling played like a first round talent. However, his injuries have pushed him into the second round. Considering the Raiders have no first round pick, they would like a player capable of getting playing time right away with their first pick in the second round.
The injuries mean Dowling might not be the best choice despite his raw talent and impressive speed. Wright is another undersized corner with a lot of potential. However, he recorded 40 times in the 4.
In addition, not only does Wright have the ability to stick to his man, he has shown that he has the instincts to know when to get his head around to look for the ball, and attacks the ball as opposed to waiting for it to get to the receiver. That kind of play recognition and play making ability has been missing in the portion of the Raiders secondary that actually had the ball thrown their way.
Known for their big mouths, and their dirty trap plays, and with Ed Reed and Ray Lewis patrolling the seconadary, it's easy to over look McAlister. However, little does everyone know that he was quietly racked up nearly 30 interceptions, as well as nearly passes defensed.
No one will argue over the fact that Newman is arguably the best cover corner in the NFL today. His 4. He has also proven himself very versatile, as he was a three sport letterman, in Track, Football, and Baseball.
To add to hes career record, he also was the winner of the Jim Thorpe award, as the nation's best defensive back in Along with being the predominant leader of the Chargers' shut down defense in the season, Cromartie bought himself a ticket to Honolulu as the leader in the NFL in picks, as well as passes defended.
We all remember his one-handed pick against Peyton Manning and the rival Colts, but plays like this, such as his interception return to seal the deal against the raiders, one of the games makes him one of the biggest play maker on the opposite side of the ball, as well as one of the premier shut down corners as of now.
