2015 class · 32 prospects

Cornerback CB

INTs/PBUs per game + speed + agility. The bust model is weakest at cornerback — treat predictions as directional.

Likeliest career, by the outcome model.

How many cornerbacks land in each career bucket as the model's single most likely finish. This is a different question from the board grades below — a prospect can be a Day 3 grade and still have “starter” as his likeliest outcome. The tails (elite, bust) are where the model separates; the middle two buckets sit close to a coin flip.

1st Round2 players

The first-round tier is a pair: JaCorey Shepherd out of Kansas at No. 20, with Alex Carter at No. 22 behind him. After Carter the board breathes — P.J. Williams projects 11 picks later.
