2019 NFL Draft: Daniel Jeremiah ranks his top value picks at CB

With the 2019 NFL draft already disappearing in our rear-view mirror, draft analysts have begun evaluating not only this year’s draft class but also their own personal evaluations.

It’s common practice after the draft concludes to compare your big board against what actually played out over the course of seven rounds, and NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has begun assessing what he believes to be the best value picks of this year’s class based on his personal rankings.

He shared his thoughts on the cornerback position on Twitter and ranked his top value guys as follows:

Kris Boyd, Vikings

Jeremiah ranked the former Texas cornerback 87th on his big board. He went 217th overall to Minnesota.

Jimmy Moreland, Redskins

Moreland (JMU) checked in at No. 174 on Jeremiah’s overall rankings. He was selected 227th by Washington.

Jordan Brown, Bengals

Brown (South Dakota State) was picked 53 spots lower than where Jeremiah had him ranked. He was selected 223rd, compared to his No. 170 ranking.

Julian Love, Giants

Love (Notre Dame) came off the board 108th. Jeremiah had him ranked as a second-round pick, No. 61 overall.

Amani Oruwariye, Lions

The former Nittany Lion was selected 146th, 40 spots lower than Jeremiah’s No. 106 ranking.

Isaiah Johnson, Texans

Johnson (Houston) was the 129th pick of the draft. Jeremiah had him as a top-90 player at No. 89 overall.

Whether any of these players become long-term starters for their NFL teams is a question that will be answered over the next season or two, but this kind of look-back exercise is extremely valuable to understand that even the draft analysts with the highest profile still don’t get every projection correct. Jeremiah’s valuation may end up being more accurate than where NFL teams valued these guys, but for now, this list proves just how different opinions on prospects can be.
