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 2017 board, tier by tier.
The top shelf is bare: no cornerback in the 2017 class earns a blue-chip grade.
The first-round shelf is one name deep: Marshon Lattimore out of Ohio St., pegged at No. 18 overall. There is a real step down from there — Sidney Jones sits 17 projected picks behind Lattimore. Marshon Lattimore is the tier's dissent — the room ranks him No. 4, our board waits until No. 18.
This is where the class lives: 13 cornerbacks carry a Day 2 grade, with Sidney Jones out of Washington at the front of the line at No. 35 overall. The drop to Cordrea Tankersley is 14 projected picks: a step, not a cliff. Inside the tier, the model's fight is Rasul Douglas: it says No. 72, the room says No. 126.
The Day 3 tier runs 18 deep, opening with Cordrea Tankersley out of Clemson at No. 113 and closing with Joshua Holsey at No. 252. One split worth knowing: consensus puts Quincy Wilson at No. 31, 89 spots above our call.
