Normally I wouldn't link to something like this ESPN.com ranking of NFL cornerbacks because their voting process seems a bit contrived, with writers from around the country mailing in names they've heard.
No one on the panel has broken down film of every cornerback mentioned. However, I did find it interesting that neither of the Cowboys starters received even a single vote.
Guys like Darrelle Revis and Nnamdi Asomugha were consensus picks, of course, but both Mike Jenkins and Terence Newman were passed over for guys like Ron Bartell, Brandon Flowers and Brent Grimes. (Incidentally, it was Flowers and Grimes who Miles Austin exploited in back to back week in 2009, racking up 421 yards receiving and four touchdowns against the Chiefs and Falcons.)
