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.
The board.
All 32 cornerbacks with a draftable grade on Draftanomics's 2016 board, tier by tier.
Only Jalen Ramsey carries a blue-chip grade at cornerback — the Florida St. product projects No. 1 overall. The drop to Vernon Hargreaves III is 14 projected picks: a step, not a cliff.
Vernon Hargreaves III out of Florida is the first-round tier by himself, projected No. 15 overall. The drop behind Hargreaves is the story — Rashard Robinson does not come off the board for another 23 picks.
The Day 2 tier runs 8 deep, opening with Rashard Robinson out of LSU at No. 38 and closing with Ryan Smith at No. 105. No cliff at the bottom, either: Kendall Fuller is one projected pick behind Smith. The model is planting a flag on Harlan Miller, 72 spots ahead of where the room ranks him (No. 145).
This is where the class lives: 22 cornerbacks carry a Day 3 grade, with Kendall Fuller out of Virginia Tech at the front of the line at No. 106 overall. The room is higher on KeiVarae Russell than we are: consensus No. 68 to our No. 223.
