Looking for a player at least willing and competent in Run game. Can at least handle the defensive calls and audbles, has an understanding of all coverage schemes. Very solid and dependable player but the team will be looking for replacement after about 5 years.     2nd round through Mid 3rd round

80-84  Flaws that can be overcome/Injury concerns  4/6 year career max at best level in most cases with some patience, good coaching, and personal work ethic.  Looking for CB3 and CB4 players here with upside. Possible specialist in Man or Zone coverage. Player must at least show interest and effort in run defense. Player must at least be able to make basic audible calls. Likely a quality back up/role player for several years, potential to become starter for few years but the team will always be looking for a better option. Often living on the bubble year to year.  Draft Mid 3rd/Late 4th round

75-79 Player developmental possibilities, with limited skills or injury concerns.  3/5 year career, one contract with drafting team, then several years of living on the bubble. Could have great size/speeed and unrealized potential. Possibly excells at at least one aspect of the position. Could carve out a longer career as a backup or special teams ace. Another reason for this rating could be major injury concerns, other reason would lack of dominant NFL skills With intense work ethic player could evolve into solid back up/special teams/role player even start.  Will play for multiple teams over career.  Draft Late 4th/5th round

70-74  Back up /specials teams.   Could be receiving this rating due to injury concerns lack of fit or  scheme in college career or  simply lack of physical attributes.  Could develop a role and possibly into more depending on patience and work ethic.

Not long for the team. Week to Week. 1 in 100 will carve out a longer career due to incredible diligence and tenacity. Likely will sign with several teams over a few years. Teams will lead these guys on often knowing they will never play a down for them. Better not completely leave school before graduation that degree will be necessary. Free Agents only. (UDFA)

Under 60  Training camp body at best, HOPE YOU GOT YOUR DEGREE!!! THE REAL WORLD IS COMING!!!!!!!!!  Players with some skills or perhaps tremendous intangables worthy of a Camp Invite, 1 in 500 can make more of this. Frankly, GM's who sign these guys for anything more than a camp body will be looking for work soon. 

 EXPLANATION OF OTHER TERMS

BUST ALERT!!! A player highly ranked by many others but one I do hold in the same regard.  Also, this term will be used for players who I call "ONE YEAR WONDERS" these players are either freakish athletes or players who had one season that FAR exceeded their previous production creating serious risk.   This term will be reserved for 1st round projections where mistakes can cripple a franchise.
OVERRATED ALERT!!! Similar to the above but not as extreme, for after 1st/2nd rounds.. Players are not as highly rated so mistakes while still important do not carry the same weight.  There are multiple reasons for this designation some but not limited to character, talent, injuries,college scheme or system.  

UNDERRATED ALERT!!! Players I feel deserve a higher ranking than many/most other so called experts.  These players in the future will be referred to as "STEALS" but I want it known my evaluation were on point when they were drafted.

SLEEPER ALERT!!!! A player that perhaps played in a poor scheme for his talents, suffered from poor coaching, revolving door coaching, poor supporting cast but has shown flashes that can lead him to success in the proper environment.

POSITION CHANGE ALERT!!! These are players who I feel due primarily to their skill set or more rarely at times measurables  will reach their maximum level of NFL success by changing from their primary College position.  

CHARACTER ALERT!!!  This designation is reserved for players who have had multiple issues concerning there character. This can be legal issues, multiple transfers, poor practice habits, friction with teammates and/or Coaches, Academic issues and or any other infraction that brings into question the players decision making. Teams must weigh the risk/reward related to these players VERY CAREFULLY!!  
INJURY ALERT!!!! A player with serious injury concerns, medicals vital. Possibly multiple injuries while in college or one severe injury. Also could have a long history in College and even perhaps High School "Injury Prone" is the common term.   If you are missing time on the field you are costing your team $$$$           

 

           2024 OUTSIDE  CORNERBACKS

This year I will continue to split up the CB position, with evolution the NFL game has created a need for  both outside and inside CB's  with both requiring specific skills.  Sucess at one does not automatically guarantee success at the other. Outside CB's will need long speed as well as short are quickness and will be evaluated accordingly. They also need at the least adequate run support skills, be adept in press man coverage as well a variety of zone schemes.

  2024 CORNERBACK POSITION OVERVIEW  A+

With 6 players possibly going in the Top 50 picks this is an excellent year. Numerous mid round players also available with correctable flaws. One of the best drafts in years.

1.Cooper Dejean   Iowa  6-1    205     94     Mid 1st

 For some reason there is a debate on this guy. He has everything you want. Size, quickness, speed, so strong in run support some think he should play Safety, he does it all and at a sky-high level.  Plus he is wildly dangerous as a punt returner. Multi-time ALL PRO HERE.

2.Terrion Arnold       Ala   6-0    198     93    Mid 1st

Another premium prospect who has it all.  No holes in his game plays a major attitude, in a good way! Great Size, quickness, speed , run support and very well coached. Day one Starter, he will have more than one ALL PRO season.

3.K A McKinstry       Ala    6-0    196     92    Late 1st

Another day one starter here, a half step behind the top 2 athletically but even more polished and ready to start. Only negative is , he has limited upside, likely neer his peak right now. Only 2 career INT's is a concern.

4.Quin Mitchell        Tol    6-0    195     91     Late 1st 

 Strong, physical CB with no fear of run support. 37 PD's and 6 INT's last two season when teams were avoiding him. Domminant at time. He'll need some adjustment time after playing in MAC but has the tools to make that happen.

5.T J Tampa              IoSt    6-1    195     89    Early 2nd

Great size, checks all the boxes on athleticism. Strong in run support, elite in man or zone. only 3 career INT's but teams avoided him whenever possible.

6.Nate Wiggins       Clem  6-2    189     87    Late 2nd

OVERRATED ALERT!! Most others have him in top 3. Typical Clemson CB of late, great size, tests excellent but very soft against the run. He will be a solid corner but teams will run at him all day long.

7.Kamari lassiter     Ga     6-0   188      85    Early 3rd

He had his best season last fall, improved in all areas especially in run support but still could have used another year of work at College level.

 He has flashed big time ability but consistency is lacking. 

9.Elijah Jones           B C     6-2    184     83    Late 3rd 

Well-coached, 22 PD's and 7 INT's last two seasons. Long and rangy.

10.Josh Newton      TCU    6-0   185     82    Early 4th

He plays hot and cold. Consistency is an issue. If you can get him right he will be a starter.

11.D McGlothern     Ark     6-2   185     79    Late 4th

Long, rangy and no fear in run support, He caused 10 turnover the past two seasons. Can be a Special teams gem.

12.Jar Brownlee      Lou    6-0    190    77   Early 5th

He may have to move inside.

13.Caeleon Carson  W F    6-0   195     76    Mid 5th

He will have to excel on Special teams, top level for him will be CB4

14.Quan Stiggers CFLTor  6-0   197    75   Late 5th

CFL import who may surprise.

15.Storm Duck          Lou     6-1   200    74   Early 6th

18.Renardo Green  FlaSt  6-0    186    71   Early 7th

22.Chic Anusiem      ColSt  6-1   200    69   Late 7th

24.Quin Newsome     Neb   6-1  185    67   UDFA

25.Kamal Hadden     Tenn  6-1   196   66    UDFA

               2024 SLOT CORNERBACKS

A continued new position this year and all years to follow, NFL execs would do themselves a favor if they adopted this as well. Today's NFL with at least 3 WR's on the field most downs this has become an actual position and one I believe should be evaluated and drafted for.  Short area quickness and "twitch" are  both vital as well as effective tackling skills. Slot WR's can vary widely from larger framed leapers to diminutive "waterbug' types so versatility is paramount to excelling at this position. Many players are of the smaller and quick mode but you will also see a few larger players who I believe their skill sets fit better here.  While these players will be valuable pieces of the defense, on the field quite often and at times entire games rarely will you find a player I consider solid 1st round value.

   2024 SLOT CORNERBACK POSITION OVERVIEW   D

One player who can fill the spot but after that everyone has serious holes in their game. No Day one picks here, no 2nd rounders either.

1.K AbramsDraine   Mo    5-11   179    85      Early 3rd

Undersized but has a nice mean streak in him, very tough. 26 PD's last two seasons and 4 INT's last fall. Also has 99 tackles in the past two seasons so NO FEAR in run support. He may well out perform this assessment!

2.Jarrian Jones     FlaSt    6-0    190    84      Mid 3rd

 Could play outside if needed but this is his best spot. Took some steps in run support  and has all the tools. He just has not lived up to his measurables, still #2 here. That tells you this class is not good.

3.D J James               Aub     6-0    175    83      Late 3rd 

 Slight but tough. Plays bigger than his weight bsays, nice coverage skills, more quick than fast, no fear in run support.

4.Mike Sanstrill      Mich     5-9    182    82     Early 4th

Undersized but always in the right place, very tough, nose for the ball. Lacking in long speed but nice quickness. He should be a Special Teams DEMON!!!

5.Max Melton             Rut    5-11  187     81     Mid 4th

He can play slot or CB4 along with Special Teams, value pick here.

6.Andru Phillips        Ky      5-11   190    80     Late 4th

Solid in run support, coverage skills can be inconsistent. Strong , nice quickness and tools, needs work but can develop, nice upside.

7.Jaylin Simpson    Aub     6-0     179    79     Late 4th

 4 INT's last season will get him a chance, nice skillset to be a valuable reserve DB

8.MJ Devonshire    Pitt      5-11  190     79     Late 4th

 10 PD's and 4 INT's last season was breakout year for him.

9.Beanie Bishop      W V       5-9    180    78     Early 5th

Undersized and not an elite athlete but 67 tackles, 20PD's and 4INT's last season  are impressive. 6 year player who fought all the way up.

11.Kalen King         PenSt    5-11   191   76    Late 5th

OVERRATED ALERT!! He will be drafted much higher and that will not end well. He seriously regressed last season. Looked just lost at times. I'm not sold he can find himself. Should have returned to school.

12.Willie Roberts   LaTc      5-11    190   75    Late 5th

 Another tough smaller player who should excel on Special teams and fill in at CB when needed.

13.Josh Deberry     TxAM    5-11   173   74    Early 6th

Small and slight, more quick than fast but plays hard, decent in coverage and will likely take well to special teams.worth a late round pick.

15.Marcellas Dial    SCar     5-11    187   72    Late 6th

17.Ken H Lovely      WMich  5-10   176    70   Mid 7th

                                 2024    STRONG SAFETIES

Strongside of the field close to the line of scrimage, run stuffers, coverage skills will vary but versatility  to cover TE,RB,an Slot WR's are a major plus. A position the NFL types continually miss on, usually missing on projection of talent. 

 STRONG SAFETY POSITION OVERVIEW  

One 1st rounder and numerous others who will need to contribute on Special Teams while improving their game

 2024 STRONG SAFETY POSITION OVERALL GRADE  C- 

             STRONG SAFETY RANKINGS

Rank      Name           Sch    Ht    Wt    Rtg    Rnd  Value 

1.Tyler Nubin         Minn    6-1  210     90     Late 1st 

Some see him at FS but I like him much better here, he gets downhill very nice but lateral movements are not his strength nor is his long speed, best suited for in the box. He can handle TE's and RB's in pass game but thta's it.

2.Jaden Hicks       WaSt    6-2  212     85     Early 3rd

Much like Nubin but even more restricted to  in the box play. Big hitter with no fear, he will need some work in coverages. Not his strength but he has enough athleticism to be adequate 

3.James Williams Mia(F) 6-4 230     84     Mid 3rd

 Built like a LB and may well end up there but I'll keep him here. Solid straight ahead quickness but long speed lacking as is lateral quickness.. He will attack in run support and is a handful to block but does over commit at times and is out of position to make the play. Poor College coaching did him no favors.

4.Kenny Logan       Kan      6-0  205    83     Late 3rd

UNDERRATED ALERT!! Likely Day 3 pick.ALL others are down on him because he won't test well, and that's why they are so often wrong. I see over 300 tackles the past 3 seasons, hit's like a truck, likely a Special teams monster. Yes he will need some work in coverage and some control in run support but worth the wait.

5. Kitan Oladapo   OreSt  6-2   219    82     Early 4th

Get's downhill fast, limited in coverage. Likely Special Teams monster who has the tools to develope.

6.Beau Brade            Md      6-1   203    81     Mid 4th

Solid across the board. Not elite in any discipline . High football IQ make up for average athleticism. Should be solid on Special teams.

7.Patrick McMorris Cal     6-0   210    80     Late 4th

Not the big hitter like those above him but very good in coverage. Makes up for average athleticism with a well coached approach to the game and excellent insticts.

8.Jaylon Carlies        Mo     6-3   219   78     Early 5th

Another some see at LB. I do not, 9 INT's and acceptable in coverage but you must limit who he covers. Rock solid in run game and should excel on Special Teams.

9.D Richardson    TxAM   6-1    215   77   Mid 5th

 Well built, has excellent tools but poor coaching and his own work ethic held him back. Get his head right and you have a steal here. A gamble.

10.Sanousse Kane    Pur   6-0    205    76   Late 5th

Excels in run game but coverage skills are not there.

11.Cole Bishop          Ut       6-2    209    74   Early 6th

Should help on Special teams, he'll need to because his skills are not there yet, nice upside though. Should have returned to school.

12.Mark Perry          TCU     6-0    211    73   Mid 6th

13.Malik Dunlap  TxTch     6-2   215     72   Late 6th

15.Sione Vaki               Ut    5-11  211     71   Early 7th

17.Trey Taylor           A F       6-0    213    69    Late 7th

18.Clayton Isabell CCar    6-2    220     69   Late 7th

 Exploded in his 5th season after doing very little, One year wonder?

19.Mikey Victor     AlaSt     6-3    211     68   PFA

 Great size and very good athlete, worth a look.

20.Rashad Wisdom UTSA 5-9    210     66   UDFA

Undersized but tough as nails , totally fearless, worth a look, may surprise.

21.Martell Irby             Az     5-9    208     65   UDFA

Rank          Name        Sch     Ht     Wt    Rtg    Rnd Value 

1.Kam Kinchens   Mia(F) 5-11  205    88     Mid 2nd

 Has the best all around game in the group. Excellent quickness and long speed, a bit undersized but plays tough and bigger and fearless. 11 INT's last two season so ball skills are excellent, provides solid run support when needed.

2.Calen Bullock       USC     6-2   190    85     Early 3rd

Great size, quick enough with good recovery speed but not a blazer. Rock solid in run support. Plus ball skills, has a INT TD return each of the last two seasons. He could move to SS and excel there as well

3.Javon Bullard         Ga    5-10   197   83     Late 3rd

 Excellent quickness and speed, built like a CB but coverage skills are inconsistent, gambles at times and pays for it. Very good in run support and should be excellent on Special Teams.

4.Evan Williams        Ore     6-0    202   82     Early 4th

 Covers the entire field, excels in run support, excellent tackler and hard hitter for size. Has some struggles in coverage and ball skills need some work, he could move to SS but strength in lacking, a tweener.  He should quickly become one of the top Special Teamers on the team.

5.Khyree Jackson    Ore     6-3    193   82     Early 4th

College CB who I think will need to make it here. He will be drafted at CB but his average coverage skill translate so much better here. Long, great speed, excellent athleticism but only started one season.

6.Dec Richardson  MissSt 6-2    190    81     Mid 4th

College CB with 0.0 career INT's and average ball skills. The good side is he is tough, hard nosed player who loves contact, over 160 tackles in past two seasons.. Has the mindset of a Safety so hopefully some GM will be smart enough to see that. But then a smart GM?

7.Tykee Smith            Ga     5-11   200    80     Late 4th 

 Tough but undersized , average  coverage skills but solid in run support and should excel at Special Teams.

8.Dajon Anthony     Miss   5-11   191   77     Early 5th 

Very good coverage skills but built like a CB and tackles like one also, likely career B/U.

9.Cam Hart                   ND     6-3     202   76     Mid 5th

College CB who I just don't see making it there with his career 2 INT's and 8 PD's the past two seasons. He'll have to make it here and on Special Teams, some team will take a shot on him at CB and that won't work.

10.Ro Torrance         AzSt    6-3     210   76     Mid 5th 

 SLEEPER ALERT!! Another College CBwho will have to make it here. Again average ball skills but tremendous size, decent quickness and nice recovery speed. He should take well to Special Teams. This guy could really surprise with amove here.

11.Akeem Dent       FlaSt    6-1     195   75    Late 5th

12.Josh Proctor       OhSt   6-2     205   74    Early 6th

INJURY ALERT!! He once looked like a early Day 2 pick but staying on the field has been a problem. If you can keep him healthy he will be asteal here.

13.Shawn Preston MissSt 6-0    205    74   Early 6th

14.D Taylor Denison TxTc 5-10  190    73   Mid 6th

Undersized but quick tough and gritty with 10 INT's the past 3 seasons.

15.Jarius Monroe    Tula    6-1     200    72   Late 6th

16.Jaq Sheppard       Md     6-2     195    71   Early 7th

17.Ryan Watts             Tx       6-3    206    71  Early 7th  

College CB who had coaches do him no favors by not moving him to FS from Day one. Long, fast and decent in coverage and run support. A year on the practice squad will be quite beneficial, he could surprise, the talent is there.

18.Isaiah Johnson    Syr     6-3    204    70  Mid 7th

  Ivy League grad transfer so obviously very bright, 4 year starter at CB but if he has a chance it's here.

19.Jalen Key                Ala     6-1    204    69  Late 7th

20.Jahdae Barron      Tx   5-11    191    69   Late 7th

 Very good in run support but coverage skill marginal at best.

21.K Pedescleaux     Tula   5-9    182    68   PFA

 Undersized but fearless 5 year player and Multi -Year starter, Should be valuable on special teams

22.Brandon Bishop   Lib    6-0    195     67  UDFA

23.Ray Williams     TxTch   6-3    205     66  UDFA

 Long rangy 5 year player who has played multiple positions. If he can work on one he may surptise.

24.Jaylon Phillips   Clem  6-1    205     65   UDFA

25.Omar Brown         Neb   6-1    200     64    UDFA
