Who Dat '08 Draft Player News: Dominique-Rogers Cromartie

News: Tennessee State University cornerback/returner Dominique-Rogers Cromartie has NFL talent evaluators raving about his potential, according to USA TODAY. "If you could draw up a corner, he's what you want," said NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock. At the combine, he measured 6-2, 184 pounds, and ran the forty in a blazing 4.33 seconds. He also had the best vertical jump (38 1/2 inches) among any defense back at the combine. "He's going to go in the first round. His skill set is going to be too tantalizing to pass up."

Who Dat Say: The second cousin of San Diego Chargers All-Pro Antonio Cromartie, the younger Cromartie certainly has the pedigree to become an elite NFL corner, but drafting him with the 10th overall pick could be risky business. Then again, we know what type of interest the Saints have in small school corners after drafting Usama Young and David Jones last year.
