During our heyday under Duane Akina we played with 5 DBs, so let's make this 2-deep a ten man roster. Even with 10 this is gonna be tough. Here's mine, in no particular order:

Jerry Gray

Bill Bradley

Mossy Cade

Bryant Westbrook 

Nathan Vasher

Earl Thomas 

Michael Huff

Quentin Jammer

Aaron Ross

Michael Griffin

The Mount Rushmore of DBU:

1.  Jerry Gray (One of the patriarchs of DBU and had the legendary Jheri curl)
2. Johnnie Johnson (Two-time consensus All-American and would've won Thorpe Award if it existed)
3.  Michael Huff (Consensus All-American, Thorpe Award winner and a national champion)
4.  Nathan Vasher (The only DB at DBU to be an All-American at two different positions)

The All Americans:

5.  Earl Thomas (If he stayed four years he'd be on the Mount Rushmore; school single-season interceptions leader)
6.  Aaron Ross (Winner of the Thorpe Award in 2006 as the nation's top DB)
7. Quentin Jammer (Consensus All-American, responsible for making DBU relevant again)
8. Lance Gunn (Most would say he's too high, but he's a three-time All-SWC player and an All American)
9.  Bryant Westbrook (Two-time All-SWC player and an All-American)
10. Noble Doss (Tied as career interceptions leader, never was All-American or all-conference)
11. Raymond Clayborn (Two-time All-SWC selection and an All-American)
12.  Stanley Richard (“The Sheriff” was All-SWC and an All-American in 1990)
13. Kenny Vaccaro (First-Team All-Big 12 performer in 2011 and 2012, plus an All-American)
14. Michael Griffin (An All-American and First-Team All-Big 12 selection in 2006)
15. Mossy Cade (All-SWC and All-American; big impact on stats (top-ten in career interceptions)
16.  Bobby Dillon (One of the founding fathers of DBU; All-American in 1951)
17. Rod Babers (All Big-12 and All-American in 2002; fourth all-time in career and single-season PBUs)
18.  Quandre Diggs(Newest addition to the rankings was Second-Team All-Big 12 twice, once Honorable Mention All-Big 12, Freshman All-American, ninth in career interceptions (11), ninth in career quarterback pressures (36) and 10th in PBU's (36))
19. Curtis Brown (Honorable Mention All Big-12 and Honorable Mention All-American in 2009, Second-Team All-Big 12 in 2010)
