Cornerbacks (10) are tied for fourth with linebackers for having the most prospects ranked inside my top 100 prospects. Wide receivers (16), edge defenders (15) and offensive tackles (11) all have more.
The position group is a bit top-heavy, however, as Washington’s Kyler Gordon is my CB7 and my 43rd-ranked prospect overall. Through that point in my rankings, edge defenders (eight) are the only position with as many prospects as cornerbacks (seven).
One of the most interesting storylines heading into the draft is how high (or low) LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr. will be selected. A couple of years ago, he seemed to be a lock to be the CB1 in this draft class and a potential top-three selection.
