^character questions
Cornerback
Jermod McCoy, Tennessee
He reminds me of Will Johnson – both incredibly smooth in coverage, both had some concerns on long speed and injuries. He has incredible short area quickness and fluidity and one of the rare guys that is good in both man and zone. He did have a tough day vs. Jeremiah Smith in 2024 but most do. I didn’t see speed issues show up and I’ll take his stickiness in coverage. If he drops for some reason, you take him.
Mansoor Delane, LSU
Smooth, very good (and willing) tackler. Stays attached to receivers although one (small) complaint is he does it often with hands. Very good in press man, think he’s better there than zone. It’s a small difference between McCoy and Delane and I wouldn’t argue if you had them flipped, but I give McCoy a slight edge in natural corner movement, connectivity to receivers, and a bit more aggressiveness.
Colton Hood, Tennessee
He’s aggressive and runs well. I like him in press, he’s around the receiver all the time, and tackles well. His movement isn’t quite as fluid as most will give him and he doesn’t get his head turned around consistently enough (UGA touchdown he gave up right after the deep sideline throw where I don’t know how he wasn’t called for DPI). Also at times won’t look immediate in zone choices (Zachariah Branch TD). His off coverage today will give up a lot of completions against NFL QBs. I wouldn’t hate it if he returned for another year as he would be well served improving his zone coverage.
Avieon Terrell, Clemson
He has the speed, the hips, the feet, and the competitiveness. He’s better in man (and off man with the ball in front of him) than zone where he is good but can look hesitant at times. He will pursue everybody, lot of snaps where he ends up on the other side of the field. My issue is his size – he is listed at 5’11” and 180 lbs but seems smaller, especially at the catch point. He’s a willing run defender but often needs help and while around the ball. Lot to like but could see his size getting exposed in the NFL. Others will have him higher than me which is fine, but I think he’s a slot and as a slot, you better tackle well and he doesn’t when 1-on-1 (and this shows up in his YAC allowed which isn’t great).
Kelley Jones, Mississippi St
If you follow me, you know I don’t love tall corners… at a reported 6’4″, Kelley is a rare exception. He has a suddeness few at his size have, he changes direction well, and has good speed. He is willing tackling but it’s not a strength. My biggest issues are he doesn’t turn his head around enough – when he does, he’s very good but when he doesn’t, he may still succeed due to his length but he also gets very grabby. He’s a redshirt sophomore and he’s a guy that could return for another year but I think he still goes early or mid day 2.
Davison Igbinosun, Ohio State
He’s fast but has the lack of fluidity that taller corners often will have – he just doesn’t have that smooth CB look, but does get where he needs to be. I wish he played more press as he’s better there. The main concern is ability to change direction and stay with receivers on multiple moves – this next point will scare Eagles fans off, but Kelee popped into my head watching him. I actually think Davison is a better Kelee. Like Hairston last draft, he’ll go higher with his testing than I probably would take.
Keith Abney, Arizona State
He will open up early when at the line and lacks closing speed when he needs it – he’s a guy that gives up enough separation for the NFL but gets away with it in college. In off coverage and zone, he will be ok, but I don’t think he survives when needing to play man. Another guy I wanted to like more than I did but think he is just lacking the innate traits.
AJ Harris, Penn St
He’s puzzling – the question you have to answer is are you drafting 2024 AJ or 2025 AJ? His 2024 (where he’s probably a R2 pick) was much better than his 2025 (on 2025 alone, he’s a day 3 pick and it wouldn’t surprise me to me UDFA). I don’t think he had an injury, the one thing I could see was he did play much more zone in 2025 than 2024 and I really don’t like him there – he’s so much better when he has a man to stay with, in zone he often is too far away and too slow to the play. But that isn’t the whole story as he wasn’t as great in man either – he rarely got his hands on the ball and was so often disconnected from his receiver. His pursuit and tackling is good. He’s young, and I think he will test well. But with positions with low hit rates like CB, you have to evaluate how much risk there is a with a pick and there’s a good amount here.
Chris Johnson, San Diego St
A guy I wanted to like more than I did and thought could be a day 2 value, he has good fluidity but he lacks speed and ability to quickly close from off coverage are concerns. He has gaudy numbers (16 passer rating allowed, 5 PBUs and 4 INTs on 43 targets) and he feasted jumping routes, but I think on contested balls at the catch point he doesn’t get turned around often enough and several of his big plays I question if he makes against an NFL QM arm. I think he could be good depth in the NFL and I could very well be wrong, but there is enough risk on his tape when you look at him projected against NFL talent. He’s a guy that really could raise his draft slot at the Senior Bowl.
