2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report: person Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan Donovan Warren came to Michigan with a lot of hype, and has finally started playing up to his ability. He was a solid performer during his first two seasons with the Wolverines, tallying 104 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 interceptions, 9 passes broken up, and 2 forced fumbles in 24 games. Those are good stats for most players, but Warren stepped his game up to the next level as a junior, registering 66 tackles, 11 passes broken up in coverage, and 4 interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown). Warren isn't going to be the fastest corner at the combine, but he has solid speed for the position. What's going to impress scouts is when Warren takes place in position drills. He has very fluid hips, and breaks well on the ball while it's in the air. Warren has a similar skill set to a young Darelle Revis and like Revis is great in press coverage. Warren has become a feared college defender, a guy who can take half the field away from an opposing quarterback. If Donovan Warren decides to declare for the draft in 2010, he is likely to be a first round pick. Donovan Warren has had a rough offseason. He ran a 4.59 second 40 yard dash at February's NFL Combine. He has always had outstanding technique, but this performance has raised questions about his speed. Warren hoped to put on a better show at his Pro Day in Ann Arbor, but managed to run an even slower 4.62 40 yard dash. The newly raised questions about his speed will likely knock him into the late second or early third round, where he would be a steal for some team. http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=2414

I think he's at his best in man to man coverage, he just had terrible coaching at Michigan for the past two years. The guy's got great hips and that's one of the best traits a corner can have. He's also very good in run support. At the very least, he'll be a decent coverage unit/special teams player. I still want to know how in the hell this kid fell so far.
It can't be based JUST on 40 time. He played really well as a junior. There weren't character concerns were there?
since Barnes already went I am telling you guys Alexander can be one hell of a steal, I watched several of his games and he is just like Maclain in Philly, kid is fast as hell.
