2026 Draft: Cornerback

[mayoclinic]

I think Terrell will go higher than I would take him, but solid player. Love Abney.

If Marcus Jones is not re-signed then that need jumps up, would consider both.

As of right now McCoy and Delane are the CBs I would consider using a 1st on. Abney, Chris Johnson and Colton Hood are my day 2 guys, Terrell would be a steal if he fell into that range.

Last year arguably the BPA at 38 was Will Johnson, who fell because of injury/long speed concerns. He's looking like the stud he was originally projected to be.

AJ Harris of Penn State is another one. Very good run defense and just hasn't been targeted this season (only targeted 8 times all year).

I like the value of Jyaire Hill and Antonio Kite as day 3 backups (currently). I assume junior Jontez Williams now stays in school as he's out for the season. He would have been my favourite later round option.

 

[manxman2601]

This is why he's not on my list.

Tacario Davis is back playing again after some games off with injury. No drop off.

1st round lock?

So much for my day 3 sleeper.

Wouldn't the "best CB in the country" have made the pick 6, not dropped it?

There's a reason he's a CB and not a WR.

What is Domani Jackson doing on this play? He's no 1, the corner at the bottom of the screen. I'm with Mayo, I don't want someone who's afraid of contact.

 

[mayoclinic]

It's weird. Don't understand how he can be so contact averse.

Watch for when Jyaire Hill (#20) appears on screen.

I wanted Cooper DeJean so badly in 2024 when he slipped into Day 2.

Imagine Gonzo-DeJean-Davis-Jones at CB, or a DeJean-Woodson S tandem?

 

[manxman2601]

Pretty awesome highlight reel.

Maybe a new favourite corner unlocked.

Coverage grade - 80.5
Run Defense - 86.1
Tackling - 89.1
Only 1 missed tackle.

Very interesting find. Binky-worthy.

Transfer from Fesno St. to Stanford (coach fired) to Arkansas (coach fired). Has some pretty elite measurable according to what is listed below.

Neal’s family ties, experience and size boost Razorbacks defense

Transfer to Arkansas brings experience and ability to help solidify new-look secondary needing to improve

Always look at the bright side (Monty Python). We got a 6th round pick swap for Polk.

This is why I like James Foster. I'm pretty sure he cuts up these videos himself and he gives you a wide range of plays to watch covering all aspects of the prospects plays. And when he does a scouting report he uses video of plays which match what he's saying about a prospect.

As for Julian Neal, there are four or five plays on that video which were wow worthy. The first one where he presses the receiver out of bounds (throws him out the clu), one in run support where he just throws his blocker to one side and makes the tackle and another on a deep go route where he matches the receiver stride for stride and then makes the play on the ball.

Another reason to watch Arkansas now.

Well firstly it's "on the bright side". Any Python fan would know that.

Secondly, a funny story about that. during the Falklands war in the eighties when a British ship was sunk and the crew would take to the life rafts, that's the song they would sing to keep their spirits up.
