The 2016 NFL draft entrant pool has been decided, and now it is time to delve into the field of talent. One of the deeper positions in the 2016 class will be the cornerbacks, as 12 underclassmen at the position declared to forgo their remaining collegiate eligibility. Of the entire crop of cornerbacks, Clemson redshirt sophomore Mackensie Alexander is the best man-coverage corner in the class.
After looking at Alexander, Vernon Hargreaves III and a handful of other top cornerbacks extensively throughout this past season, I believe this class is not as strong as the group of rookie cornerbacks in 2015.
