With the 2011 NFL combine wrapped up just in time for the potential NFL lockout, it might be interesting to look at how almost everyone's top-rated CB and top-four mock draft pick should or would work out if taken by the Broncos with the second overall pick.
Peterson was the top-rated CB going into the combine and certainly didn't hurt himself coming out.
Combine numbers:

Vertical Jump: 37 inches
Broad Jump: 10'6"
Three-cone drill: 6.58 seconds
