NFL Draft: Cornerback not a pressing concern for Chicago Bears
There are not a lot of first-round locks at cornerback this year after Ohio State’s Denzel Ward, who’s a top-10 candidate.
Minkah Fitzpatrick is regarded just as highly as Ward, but we’re considering him as a safety. He played both at Alabama and could be an immediate starter at either spot in the NFL.
Even without Fitzpatrick, there’s enough depth that as many as 15 cornerbacks could hear their names called by the end of the second day (Round Three). And there will still be some players with intriguing size-speed combinations available when Round Four begins.
