Bottom Line on Prince Amukamara:
Prince Amukamara is a fantastic athlete with the size and strength to match up with any receiver, and is one of the top defensive backs in the 2011 NFL Draft class. He has the tools to be a No. 1 corner in any defensive scheme and should have a lot of success in the NFL. He has a couple things he needs to work on, but overall is a great prospect.
Projection: As one of the top corners coming out, Amukamara should be one of the top 10 players off the board in April.
