Cornerbacks

No. 5 – DeAndre Baker – Georgia

Baker has had a very good season thus far. He plays best in press man despite being a smaller corner. Plays like a 6-foot-3 corner in a 5-foot-10 body. Struggles dealing with receivers that take the top off. Can play any corner position, but projects well as a rookie nickel corner after the draft.

No. 4 – Kris Boyd – Texas

Through the years, Kris Boyd has grown into a very complete draft cornerback. Average in zone coverage, tends to focus more on the receivers than watching the quarterback which has it’s pros and cons. Best in man coverage when it’s him vs his man, has an alpha mentality. Excellent against the run. Gets his hands on the ball to contest catches but has poor ball skills in terms of takeaways.

No. 3 – Julian Love – Notre Dame

Good size and speed. 34 career pass deflections in less than three years of playing. Very good when ball is in the air. Needs to clean up technique but possess excellent instincts. Does well in bump and run but can get too aggressive in coverage. Good instincts for zone and good feet for man.

No. 2 – Amani Oruwariye – Penn State

Excellent press coverage, long arms and adequate speed. Oruwariye is a height weight speed guy with excellent ball skills. Comfortable in man or zone coverage. Incredibly body control making numerous interceptions he had no business snagging. Excellent when the ball is in the air, times jump balls better than receivers do. Will be 23 when drafted and 24 before the end of his rookie year.

No. 1 – Andreaz “Greedy” Williams – LSU

In terms of upside, Williams is the best corner I’ve ever evaluated. Excellent height at 6-foot-2, and uses it. Alpha mentality, when the ball’s in the air, it’s his. Locks down a side of the field in man, and plays with great instincts in zone. Should’ve been a receiver with his ball skills. Not quite as quick as Denzel Ward, but but better natural length.
