2026 Draft: Cornerback

[manxman2601]

Looks like Manx has fallen for another mature prospect.

The thing is, I never go looking for older prospects. When I research someone I like, the last thing I look at is his career stats and then it's "oh man! Yet another 6 year senior. Damnit!"

What are you going to do - MILMP (Manx in Love with Mature Prospect).

Mature is OK. What is her name?

Doris.

Doris.

Love is timeless. But that's a name from the leather helmet days. You must go for very...very...very.........very slow walks.

Thankfully my mature draft prospects are a little more athletic.

Devon Marshall, NC State, 5-11, 200lbs, Senior

I'm just highlghting him because had 2 INT annd 7 passes defensed yesterday against Florida State

Checking his PFF grades, he has a season 86..0 coverage grade and an 80.2 run defense grade with only 3 missed tackles on the year for an 8.3% missed tackle rate. He has played as an outside corner rather than in the slot this year. He might be a name worth keeping in mind.



Having said that, Duce Robinson beats him deep here although he recovers well enough.

Effort. And awareness.

Interesting chart. I know Stukes has had a longer career than others on this list but only Ponds and Delane have more career PBUs.

Another mature prospect.

Another mature prospect.

Of course. What else do you expect from me?

Not draft eligible until 2027, but someone to keep an eye on:

Emergence of Ellis Robinson will help Georgia defense in either SEC championship rematch

ATLANTA — A reporter asked Kirby Smart if he saw Ellis Robinson sky for a Haynes King pass and pluck the ball out of the air.

There’s no shortage of quality nickel CBs this year





And this one plays some safety (with range) too

Thanks. PD/PI ratio is really interesting.

There’s an argument he might be BpA when we pick.
