Finishing up the second week of our positional draft rankings, we’re flipping back over to the defensive side of the ball, going from wide receivers to the guys who will be covering them – the cornerbacks. Once again, I’ll break down my top ten prospects with compact scouting reports for each of them, along with some names who just missed the cut. More than at any other position so far, I feel like I should mention that these rankings don’t reflect injuries but rather purely the talent/film and generally, I don’t love trying to weigh those anyway since we don’t have insight into medical records, like NFL teams do.

This CB class to me is a little misunderstood because it’s highlighted by a player who we don’t have a firm grasp if he’ll primarily play on offense or defense – or potentially both. Three of the next four names for me didn’t finish this past college football season and therefore have kind of been forgotten. And after that, a lot of better prospects are primarily considered nickelbacks. So while this group isn’t as strong as last year’s, I believe if healthy there are five guys worthy of first-round consideration, the other eight listed here will probably find themselves inside my top-100 big board, and even though there are a couple of names that have fallen from grace beyond that, there are also a few with impressive profiles, that’ll be appealing to NFL evaluators.

Here’s my list:
