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 2019 board, tier by tier.
The top shelf is bare: no cornerback in the 2019 class earns a blue-chip grade.
Four cornerbacks carry a first-round grade, and Byron Murphy heads the group at a projected No. 21 overall. Barely a seam here — Julian Love comes off just 5 picks later. Inside the tier, the model's fight is Trayvon Mullen: it says No. 30, the room says No. 69.
The Day 2 tier runs 12 deep, opening with Julian Love out of Notre Dame at No. 35 and closing with Joejuan Williams at No. 96. The drop to Iman Marshall is 10 projected picks: a step, not a cliff. Isaiah Johnson is the argument in this tier — No. 93 on our board against a consensus No. 168.
Iman Marshall leads a 16-deep Day 3 group — the meat of the CB board — starting at a projected No. 106 overall. Kendall Sheffield is the tier's dissent — the room ranks him No. 120, our board waits until No. 248.
