Detroit Lions
Round 1 • Pick 3
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Head coach and general manager's dream prospect with blue-chip physical traits, mental makeup and personal character. He has size, length and foot quickness to road-block press release and elite closing burst to close catch windows or eliminate yards after catch. He has room for improvement with his recognition and balance at the top of the route, but quarterbacks rarely target and beat him over the top. He has a rigid adherence to technique, but squeezing coverage even tighter and trusting his traits, talent and recovery speed could make him one of the top shutdown corners in the game.

Round 1 • Pick 9
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Silky smooth boundary cornerback with mirror-and-match footwork and the agility and athleticism to stay connected to routes. He has NFL recovery burst and the long speed to track vertical routes downfield. He has the twitchy acceleration to jump a throw and take it away if the quarterback lingers on the target, and he's quick to wrap and finish after the catch. He makes mental mistakes from time to time and occasionally loses awareness from zone. He's willing and capable in run support but needs better control as an open-field tackler. Henderson is a fluid cornerback with ball skills and burst and has CB1 ability as a first-rounder.

Round 1 • Pick 31
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Press cover irritant who plays an extremely competitive brand of football from snap to whistle. He has the twitch and route anticipation to stay close. Possesses ball skills to contest a good percentage of throws. His coverage traits should allow him to thrive in man or zone, but his desire to make every play on the ball could lead him into occasional bait-and-switch traps by smart quarterbacks. He's slender so teams will need to decide whether to play him outside or in sub-packages, but no matter where he plays, this ball-hawking alpha has the talent to help his team on all three downs if needed.

Round 2 • Pick 19
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Talented prospect with rare combination of size, strength and ball skills. As a former receiver, Diggs has an instinctive feel for his opponent's plans and uses his size and athleticism to disrupt the blueprint when possible. The foot agility and short-area burst are good for his size and helped keep completion totals low. He's inconsistent staying in phase with downfield routes and long speed is his kryptonite, causing grabbing and holding when panic sets in. He's a future starting press-man corner with the hands and ball tracking to take it away and should benefit from more help over the top as a pro. Future consideration at free safety is possible considering his size and skill set.

Round 2 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Boundary bully with an improving skill set to clamp down on WR1s and limit their exposure to the football. Johnson is built for press, with the size, length and athleticism to force receivers to work harder getting into their routes. His eagerness to stay tight to the route leads to inconsistent balance and positioning from time to time, but his foot quickness and agility allow for rapid recoveries. He's equipped to play the deep ball but needs to fully prove himself in that area. He's a physical press corner with off-man ability whose anticipation and ball skills should continue to help him make plays as a CB1 and first-round pick.

Round 1 • Pick 16
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Long, press-man cornerback with thin lowers, but good overall size. Terrell has the foot agility and patience to pedal and mirror the release or jab and ride on it aggressively. He's an above-average athlete with quick burst to close out space in tight quarters, but he's not a classic click-and-close talent from off-man and issues with balance prevent sudden stops to shadow at the top of the route. The size and ability to hound 50/50 balls deserve recognition, but he lacks ballhawking traits, which could cap him as an average future starter.

Round 2 • Pick 29
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Press-man cornerback whose 40 percent rate of completion as an LSU Tiger may not tell the entire story as an NFL prospect. Fulton has good size and is usually searching to make plays on the football. He plays with decent eye balance in off-coverage but can be a tad late with response time. Once he gets behind he tends to stay behind against multi-breaking routes and his long speed and recovery burst are below average. Fulton showed improvement throughout the year, but his confidence has been an issue at times. When the pros and cons are balanced, he appears to be a good backup with a chance to work up the ladder.

Round 1 • Pick 30
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Stocky but explosive receiver-turned-cornerback whose play generates both intrigue and concern. He's extremely physical from snap to whistle with the strength to alter route timing from press. He's a good athlete with a plus burst to close. He's naturally aggressive to ambush catch tries. Staying in phase on the vertical plane is a challenge and pattern recognition is surprisingly average. Improvement is likely with more experience and technique, but playing with downfield poise is not guaranteed. He's good in run support and offers early special teams help as he continues to learn his craft.

Round 3 • Pick 25
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Very long, stringy cornerback with surprising strength and a competitive mindset that had quarterbacks looking for easier battles elsewhere. He looks to suffocate and contest the route from start to finish and does an excellent job of maintaining phase in the vertical plane. His cover style will draw attention from NFL game officials early on, but the athleticism and length should allow him to trust his technique. He won't give up many explosive plays through the air, but is a high-risk tackler in run support and needs to do a better job of wrapping and finishing. Dantzler can play in a variety of coverages but is a future starter as a confident press-man corner with early starting potential.

Round 4 • Pick 33
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Smallish, outside corner with tremendous intensity, swagger and toughness. Needs to handle the athletic challenges as a slot corner in the NFL. He gives rough rides to receivers trying to get away from his press before following it with route recognition and footwork to continue hounding his man. Physicality overtakes technique at times and he could struggle to mirror the release of savvy NFL slot receivers. The instincts and ball skills are rare and should translate to this level of competition in zone and man as long as he can shadow routes. Teams may worry about his size, but run support will not be a concern and Robertson could become a starting nickel as a Day 3 selection.

Round 5 • Pick 13
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Angular outside corner who uses instinctive footwork and long arms to close out and challenge a healthy percentage of throws. His backpedal and transitions are more functional than fluid and could be exploited by NFL route-runners and speedsters. His reactive quickness and ball skills fit nicely into zone-based coverages, allowing greater freedom to spy quarterbacks and squeeze short and intermediate throws. He can handle man coverage, but he needs protection over the top. Hall is a future starting cornerback but might garner attention at free safety at some point in his career.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
The similarities to former Auburn and current Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones are striking. Both played inside/outside and had great speed, ball skills and a quality football IQ. Like Jones before him, Davis is a little deficient in size and play strength, which shows up on occasion, but he's a tough competitor who doesn't give in easily at the catch point. He's light on his feet and can bounce and weave in any direction the route takes him. Davis is a slot corner with quality man-cover skills and top-end speed with CB3 upside.

Round 1 • Pick 19
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Inside/outside cornerback with NFL size and strength but a lack of fluidity and burst that might make him best-suited as a zone corner. Arnette will be at a disadvantage against vertical jackrabbits and will struggle to stay connected to NFL routes in man. However, he plays with good awareness in space and has the physicality in run support that zone defenses look for. His potential and success could be directly tied to what a team asks of him, which makes his evaluation and grade more of a sliding scale depending upon scheme fit.

Round 4 • Pick 31
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Affectionately nicknamed "The Gnat" by teammates for his pesky, persistent coverage talent and playing style. He has no issues checking athletic boxes with quick feet, smooth hips and explosive speed. He has above average recovery burst and athleticism, so he should be able to make the move to the slot despite limited reps there. He lacks play strength for matchups against size and will go ankle-biting in run support in order to avoid heavy collisions. He has ballhawking traits and coverage talent is not an issue. His ability to stay healthy and overcome his size/strength limitations could be the difference between being a starting nickel or solid backup.

Unheralded recruit who became three-year starter with consistent ball production in the ACC. He's a route crowder who plays with some good physicality and hand fighting around the field. His instincts and ball skills should help him in man or zone, but some scouts question his ability to stick with NFL release quickness and recover deep if beaten. He plays a confident, competitive brand of football and could become a solid NFL backup.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized press corner with good instincts, ball skills and coverage strength, but a concerning lack of long speed. Hill's body control and short area quickness put him in position to make plays on the football, but when forced to cover downfield, he begins to grab and pull to prevent big plays against him. He's too small to stay outside but his strength could help balance out average suddenness against shifty slots. The discipline and awareness are present to play short zone, but run support might be an issue if teams come at him from 11 personnel. Projecting a successful move inside is challenging so he gets a backup "prove it" grade until the challenge is met.

Tall, slender, man-cover corner who is disruptive and physical from press but needs to rely on technique and footwork to avoid penalties at the next level. Stat services dinged him for catches and yards allowed that should have clearly gone on the safety's tab. He plays with good instincts and athleticism to make plays on the football and is a challenging matchup on 50/50 balls. He possesses the necessary traits to fit into a variety of coverage schemes, but teams will want to see better effort and consistency in run support. Samuels might find starter's work within the first couple of years in the league.

Explosive athlete with blazing top-end speed and above-average ball production, Patterson allows receivers to declare their release and uses his speed and fluidity to track and phase the route whether it is a specialty route or a vertical one. Bigger receivers will have an advantage, but his ball skills and competitiveness should keep it from being a mismatch. He has zone or man-cover talent, but will need to ply his craft from the slot after playing outside at Maine. His recovery from an ACL tear works against him, but he has the talent to compete for a nickel spot once he's healthy.

Pride's height, weight, speed and athleticism are all pro-ready, but there is a lack of confidence and consistency that prevents him from reaching his athletic potential. Despite the track speed, he struggles to stay in phase with intermediate and deep routes and gets lost with his back to the ball. He needs to be paired with a scheme that allows him to play more off-man and zone so he can keep the game in front of him and use his burst to close coming downhill. Pride has pro traits, but he also has NFL-backup tape.

He does a nice job of challenging throws effectively when he's in position thanks to his length and timing, but he'll need to improve his route recognition and anticipation as a pro. He can be too passive and ineffective as a tackler, which will be a non-starter for certain NFL teams. Vildor has the ability to challenge for a CB4/CB5 spot for man-cover defenses.

The size, length and potential to make plays on the ball will be appealing, but tape shows a player missing the instincts and burst to close and challenge throws from off coverages. He's not as physical as teams will want for Cover 2, but a press-heavy scheme would keep him closer to his target and allow his length to factor more frequently. He doesn't display the qualities of a natural ballhawk, but the measurables could land him in the later rounds as a developmental prospect.

First and foremost, teams must do their due diligence on the issue that got him expelled from the University of Minnesota in 2017. On the field, the former Missouri state 100-meter champ has exceptional speed and the athletic ability to make the move to full-time slot corner. He has greedy eyes and the ball skills to do something about it when the ball goes up. He's played against subpar competition, but was an early starter for a Big Ten school. He needs to cultivate his technique and teams must figure out if he's better from press or off-man. While he has return talent, it's also worth noting that his limited tape as a receiver is provocative.

Ballhawking outside corner with impressive, one-year production but a body type that will likely be a turn-off to NFL teams. Barcoo's linear, thin-hipped frame is unlikely to carry much more weight. He has good speed and terrific instincts that show up when reading the quarterback or the route. He's a former receiver with excellent ball skills who consistently plays the football instead of the receiver once the ball goes up. He doesn't give up the easy catch very often and makes quarterbacks and receivers work for it. He could be considered by Cover 3 defenses as a late pick or priority free agent, but play strength and durability will be a worry in any defensive scheme.

Acy is a three-year starter with good size and strength coming out of a conference that has featured quality competition at receiver. He plays with adequate recognition and instincts, but his lack of short-area burst and recovery speed could continue to prevent him from finding ball production on a consistent basis. He may be dependent on a short-zone or off-man scheme since he doesn't have a particular physical trait to hang his hat on as a man-cover corner. A switch to safety could be a consideration, but only if he dials up his run support consistency.

The former wideout is still learning his way around the cornerback spot, which explains why his technique and feel are a little bit raw at times. He does play with an intriguing combination of early burst and pattern recognition, allowing him to use his length to swat catches away. He doesn't fully trust his eyes and is a little too clunky when he needs to flip his hips and go. He has good height, but he also has a slightly built frame that can be a problem for him in run support.

Field-fast, slot cornerback whose ball production doesn't always match with his athletic ability.

His recovery burst can cover up for mid-rep mistakes, but he will need to correct his fundamentals to handle slot coverage in the pros. He's more effective in zone but still needs to trust his eyes a bit more. The run support is way too ragged and teams will have to determine if it's toughness or technique causing it. He has a chance to become a backup slot with more work.

Bryant played safety in 2019 but should be a slot corner at the next level. He's tough-minded but physically limited. His twitch and pattern anticipation make him feel faster than he actually is. Once he's forced to carry man coverage around the field, issues against speed will show up. He's a capable short-zone defender but ends up playing man over ball too often due to his lack of functional playmaking length. He'll lose some jump balls against bigs but does a nice job of crowding catch space on 50/50 throws. He's a tough, willing tackler but needs help bringing down bigger targets. The football character is awesome, but he might not check enough boxes to be a long-term, "make it" corner.

Slender but long, Washington has ball-hawking elements to his game. However, he could struggle to contend with offenses looking to beat him up with big coverage targets and in run support. He plays with some coverage savvy and possesses adequate ball skills, but didn't face as many stiff, downfield challenges thanks to a steady dose of off-man and deep zone. He lacks size as an outside corner and may not have the fluidity to handle the slot. His length and ball production are intriguing but the negatives may outweigh the positives at the next level.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
High-cut press cornerback with good height and length that he uses to his advantage. When Clarke reads the release correctly, he does a nice job of beating up receivers over the early stages of the pattern, but he's missing fluid hips and reactive agility to recover quickly when beaten. He lacks body control and balance in coverage, but does a nice job of attacking the catch with length and aggressiveness to create incompletions. He's not fast or sudden and his tackling is suspect in run support. His ball skills might be enough to earn a longer look on a practice squad for a press-heavy defense.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Twitchy and very athletic but lacking necessary feel for both man and zone coverages. Guidry will be one of the fastest players in the draft, but he's often in catch-up mode as his anticipation is not yet fully developed. He's a willing tackler and has the athletic ability to stay near his man and recover when needed. He needs more work and additional coaching but his speed and gunner potential might give him an outside shot.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Despite playing outside cornerback in two of his last three years as a starter, Hall will clearly be viewed as a slot corner due to his lack of height and length. He struggles with recovery burst when asked to flip his hips and run, but does flash a twitchy downhill trigger when allowed to keep throws in front of him. He gets lost with his back to the ball and will struggle to phase and shadow NFL route runners. He lacks strength and toughness in run support but his kick-return talent is a plus in his favor.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Early-entry press corner with good length but a debilitating lack of recovery burst and top-end speed. Renfro looks more comfortable from off coverage with decent route anticipation and lateral transitions underneath but has limited range to stay connected with the route downfield. While he has zone-corner traits, including adequate run support, he lacks the instincts and awareness to squeeze targets consistently. A lack of ball production, speed and coverage IQ could make it hard for him to stick.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Former five-star recruit and one of the more heralded cornerbacks coming out of high school. He's fast, but long speed doesn't mean as much since he lacks the length to challenge throws over the top. He has outside corner experience but spent most of 2019 at free safety and slot corner. He lacks route recognition and closing burst to get after throws on a consistent basis. He's smaller, but is plenty tough in run support. Taylor might be worth a look as an undrafted slot corner with press potential.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Press corner at Oklahoma who makes up for a lack of foot quickness and explosive movements with pattern recognition and peskiness at the catch point. Despite the passes defensed, he may not have the type of recovery burst or physicality to be able to withstand the matchups teams would throw at him in the pros. Motley will get a shot in camp, but may need a transition into a zone role in order to continue having a shot at making plays on the football.

DRAFTED BY
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 7 • Pick 9
PLAYER ANALYSIS
He moved from receiver to cornerback out of junior college, but a foot injury caused him to miss a chunk of action to begin the 2019 campaign, so his schooling at his new position is still way behind. Claybrooks' technique, awareness and instincts are nowhere near ready to see an NFL field and he hasn't put enough coverage flashes on tape to assume his speed and athleticism will project into cornerback long-term. He has a background at receiver and is a talented kick returner, which opens the door of opportunity a little more for him, but he's still such a raw prospect.
