Bengals | Darqueze Dennard visits Tue Apr 15, 01:54 PM
Michigan State CB Darqueze Dennard visited with the Cincinnati Bengals Monday, April 14, and Tuesday, April 15, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals are looking for a young corner to groom as an eventual starter. Dennard can consistently re-route wide receivers when playing press. He's a physical player who will fight for contested passes. Dennard should be a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft. |
Broncos | Kayvon Webster moving up depth chart Mon Apr 14, 11:44 PM
Denver Broncos CB Kayvon Webster is currently slotted as the team's third cornerback, and he could even see a bigger role if CB Chris X. Harris (knee) isn't quite ready.
| Footballguys view: Webster is not ready for that larger role. When forced into more playing time last year he struggled late in the season as a rookie. The Broncos top pick in the draft should be a cornerback. |

With Denver Broncos CB Chris X. Harris (knee) making his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in January, and the fact he is eligible for unrestricted free agency after this season, the team is likely to select a cornerback in the first three rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft.

| Footballguys view: Verrett is a smaller corner, measuring in around 5'10" 185 pounds. He makes up for his lack of size with a feisty attitude and ability to fight for contested passes. Verrett has the speed to fit in the back pocket of receivers as they move downfield. He's an option for the Bengals in the first round. The Bengals need a young corner to develop, and Verrett has starter's upside. |

Link to story NFL | Darqueze Dennard will not attend draft Sat Apr 12, 10:47 PM
Michigan State CB Darqueze Dennard said he has declined an invitation to attend the 2014 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Dennard's draft stock has fallen a bit, but he could still be a late first-round pick. Other cornerbacks like Bradley Roby (Ohio State) are possibly jumping ahead of Dennard in the draft because they are faster. He can effectively re-route receivers at the line of scrimmage, and Dennard is an instinctive player who is always around the ball. |
Lions | Worked out Darqueze Dennard Sat Apr 12, 10:46 PM
Michigan State CB Darqueze Dennard said he had a private workout with the Detroit Lions last month and that the workout went well. Defensive coordinator Teyrl Austin was part of the workout.
| Footballguys view: Dennard's draft stock may be falling just a bit, but the Michigan State prospect could be an option for the Lions in the first round at 10th overall. He's an instinctive player who puts up a fight at the point of the catch. Dennard is not one of the faster corners in this draft, and that may be hurting his draft stock. |

| Footballguys view: Roby is an option for the Steelers in the first round. He has the speed and aggressiveness to be a shutdown corner in the NFL. Roby quickly breaks on the play in front of him, and he can play press--turn and cover downfield routes. |

Bengals | Kyle Fuller to visit Wed Apr 9, 04:30 PM

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said the team will only use CB Champ Bailey at cornerback and will not use him at another position.
| Footballguys view: Bailey struggled in 2013 as he dealt with a Lisfranc injury that he suffered in preseason. He's not as washed up as some think. Bailey could work nicely for the Saints as a nickel corner. |

The Tennessee Titans are scheduled to meet with Oklahoma State CB Justin Gilbert Friday, April 11.
| Footballguys view: Gilbert has an intriguing size/speed combination. He's a great press-cover corner who can re-direct receivers at the line of scrimmage. Gilbert has the ability to turn his hips and cover downfield. He can also contribute as a return man. |

| Footballguys view: Fuller's brother Corey, a wide receiver, is on the Lions roster. The pair and two other Fuller brothers (Vincent who played in the NFL, and Kendall, who is also a cornerback and currently a Hokie) all played their college ball in Blacksburg. Fuller at number 10 might be a little high, but some have him as their top corner in this draft. |
