ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has been releasing top-10 positional rankings voted on by a panel of 70 NFL executives, coaches, and scouts. On Thursday, Fowler released the top-10 cornerback rankings, and Pittsburgh Steelers fans got another painful reminder of what they could have had in the draft instead of Broderick Jones.
The Steelers held the 17th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and had pressing needs at both offensive tackle and cornerback. Instead of standing pat and taking Oregon standout Christian Gonzalez, Omar Khan traded up in his first NFL Draft as general manager to get Jones, the offensive tackle out of Georgia.
