Scouting Combine Notebook: Top DB Prospects of 2019 Fail to Inspire or Impress

The 2019 NFL Scouting Combine is officially a done deal.

The final day of the combine belongs to the secondary. It's a position group that has grown in importance as the NFL has become more pass-heavy. As goes the defensive backfield, so go most teams—for better or worse.

Unfortunately, teams looking to be blown away by this year's class in Monday's workouts were left largely disappointed—especially where the top-end prospects are concerned. The top two safeties on many draft boards weren't on the field because of injuries. The corners thought of by most as first-rounders either posted disappointing 40 times or struggled in positional drills.
