Cornerbacks

  1. Jeffrey Okudah, Ohio St.
  2. Kristian Fulton, LSU
  3. Paulson Adebo, Stanford
  4. Trevon Diggs, Alabama
  5. AJ Terrell, Clemson

The 2020 NFL Draft figures to be one of the very best at the cornerback position in quite a long time. It is a deep class with a ton of blue-chip talent at the top. If you were to create the perfect cornerback prospect, they would come out looking a lot like Jeffrey Okudah. He has the size, length, athleticism, speed, and ball skills to be a lockdown cornerback in the NFL.

Fulton, Adebo, Diggs, and Terrell are all long, impressive athletes who should have bright futures in the pros. Diggs has the most physical style of play, while Terrell looks to be the most scheme versatile of the group right now. Fulton has struggled a little this season as he has been targeted more but still projects as a terrific shutdown man coverage cornerback at the next level.

Adebo is easily the rawest athlete of the group, but he flashes a super high ceiling when he is able to put it all together. This list doesn’t even include prospects like CJ Henderson, Jaylen Johnson, Bryce Hall, or Jeff Gladney, who are also borderline first-round prospects.
