I like this list but I think Lassiter is CB 3/4 at best and Kalen King should definitely be top 7. Would be top 5 if not for end of year bad performance.

[@Lowkeylit69]

Well u might as well put kalen on this list since denzel is going back for his senior season

[@rileestapleton2437]

Rakestraw is a top 5 CB in this class. Failed to mention his lack of PBUs and INTs could be becuase of games missed due to injury. And Mizzou plays a ton of man coverage and he was pretty lock down. Only targeted once against LSU. He is very tested against high caliber WRs as well. But my main issue here is he was Mizzous second best CB. How is Kris Abrams-Draine just not on this list? Was arguably the best CB in CFB

Mitchell has the best upside among the top corners, coming out of the MAC.

[@landonkurtz5150]

Kalen King top 5

[@ultimatescouting]

I am lower on King, I liked his tape coming into the year but his film against the best competition absolutely terrifies me, MHJ made him look silly the entire game and I just thought there were way too many inconsistencies in his game throughout the other games I watched

[@flyeagles8966]

Eagles future S/FS/CB . Versatile player. Cooper DeJean is not the #1 CB in the draft. Top 3 are Arnold ,Lassiter and Mitchell (no particular order) Cooper DeJean is a top S in the draft.

[@anthonydavisjr997]

Coverage grade of 76.8 and he’s number one. He couldn’t wait to put a white guy corner at number one lol. Coopers not even playing corner in the league he’s a safety

[@dwightlove3704]

He doesn't have enough speed for playing DB he should have been told to work on his speed by joining the track team at Iowa.

[@Jonathan-cz4ky]

Yeah I’m not too sure on the thought process with that one. He’s a great athlete and versatile player but he lacks a lot of the traits you’d see in a true #1 like elite reaction, tenacity, tackling ability and he really isn’t that fast. He looks more like a deep safety for sure. He’d be a 1st rounder easily as a safety. As a #1 though? Naaaah

[@dwightlove3704]

@@Jonathan-cz4ky That is why I said that he should have been a member of the track team at Iowa to work on his speed since everyone is going to judge him on this obvious trait that all DBs must have to deal with all these WRs in the NFL.He has good size at 6-1 207 but not the speed to back up his dream of being a NFL DB PROSPECT.

[@evanbader2756]

As a Bengals fan if they found a veteran RT or Keep Williams and looking for a defensive back besides an edge last year, I would take either Nate Wiggins, or Kool-Aid McKinnistry. If you’re a bengals fan and agree with me, we have to protect our franchise qb even when Burrow returns and improve the secondary for the defense because them giving up too many explosive plays in one season without Burrow even with is terrible same as the run defend pending on DJ Reader.

[@ultimatescouting]

Yeah I think it’ll be interesting to see where they go this offseason, obviously RT is a massive need but they haven’t had much success drafting and developing OL so I wonder if they shy away from that and find a veteran option. If they do, I could see them going with CB, IDL, or WR as well. The defense has to get much better at limiting big plays I agree and you may have to prepare for life without Tee and TB as well

[@QuickEST34]

Immediately turned this off when I saw Arnold at 7.

[@raymusbryant1574]

Dajean isn’t a corner he will get moved to SS because of his physical play and smarts he’s not athletic enough to guard NFL wrs

[@561byrd]

@@ultimatescoutinghe’s not athletic at all if you watch his film in any coverage he immediately opens up and then attaches to his wr he’s a good zone corner but his man coverage isn’t great so he isn’t complete, he also isn’t fast so it doesn’t help , but he does move fluidity but it’s not gonna help against a good wr he’s better at safety because if his range and knowledge of football

DeJean projects much more as a safety or nickel in the NFL, not a boundary corner. As a Colts fan, I don't want us to draft DeJean because we need someone on the boundary. DeJean likely won't play on the boundary in the NFL.

[@ultimatescouting]

[@MikeZdyber]

Great video! If Cooper was planning to be a Safety, I can see him as top 3 but no way at CB. He won't be able to keep up with NFL WR's because he struggles with change of direction. Wiggins to me is the clear #1 in this draft. Rakestraw could be the best value in this draft if he doesn't get taken in the 1st. If Lassiter could catch the ball when it hits his hands he could arguably be the #1 or #2 CB in this draft.

[@johnsobey4261]

Ennius Rakestraw is too small..188 lbs, wouldn’t last if he was sacked a few times

[@abelcain945]

Whoa... You contradict yourself. He has very little press experience and he's a 93% in man, 73% in press? How? Seeing that off man is more indicative of zone coverage skillset than anything. You should stick with the PFF grade on his coverage. He's a zone, nickel, dime back in the league. But ultimately to me he's a safety. And if he makes the switch, think Ed and Eric. Ed Reed and Eric Weddle. He's heady, crafty and more. But he's a one trick pony and zone coverage doesn't get DBs drafted high.

[@ultimatescouting]

Press man is different than off man, off man is more read and react and being able to close angles quickly and disrupt at the catch point which Dejean is very good at, press man requires more athleticism and agility to quickly flip the hips and run with the WR through their breaks. I agree that nothing is more valuable than true press man but I love his instincts, size, ball skills, and reaction time so much that I think given the chance he could be effective in almost any scheme
