(Last Updated: April 24, 2024)
1. Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo
CB | 6’0″ | 195 lbs | 4th Year
Quinyon Mitchell was one of the absolute top players in college football each of the past two years, and was simply too good for the MAC. He totaled 6 interceptions and an outrageous 44 total passes defended in the time. The All-American has plenty of size for an outside corner, and big time athleticism which looks the part of a 1st round corner. Mitchell reads routes very well and has advanced technique to keep receivers close without drawing flags.
The Senior Bowl was critical to his evaluation, as Mitchell spent his whole career at the MAC level. He ended up being the best defensive back in attendance, consistently locking down this highly-touted class of wide receivers. Mitchell has answered his biggest questions already, and looks poised to be a surefire first round pick.
Quinyon Mitchell 2023 Stats
13 games: 41 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 0.0 sacks, 19 passes defended, 1 interception
2. Terrion Arnold, Alabama
CB | 6’0″ | 189 lbs | 3rd Year
Terrion Arnold was a consistent riser throughout the course of the season due to his physicality against the run and improved coverage ability. Arnold is a former 5 star recruit who was up and down in 2022. With long arms and a 6’0″ 190 pound frame, Arnold looks the part of an NFL corner. He has quick hips and feet with enough long speed to hang on the outside. While the 5 interceptions in 2023 stands out, it’s not what has pushed him into the 1st round conversation. Instead it’s his relentless effort against the run and consistent tackling. Arnold diagnoses plays well and is always ready to find more work.
That mentality goes a long way as a corner, especially when you have plenty of potential as a cover guy too.
Terrion Arnold, Alabama 2023 Stats
14 games: 63 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, 17 passes defended, 5 interceptions, 1 fumble forced
3. Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama
CB | 6’0″ | 199 lbs | 3rd Year
Kool-Aid McKinstry has every trait needed to excel as an NFL cornerback, and figures to be next in line from the Nick Saban pipeline. He’s a fluid athlete with quick hips and mirroring ability, combining flexibility with fast feet and straight line recovery speed. He’s got good size at 6’0″ 200 pounds and shows decent ability defending the run. His instincts in the passing game allows him to make quick breaks on passes and force a large number of incompletions, even though the interception numbers haven’t been gaudy.
He’s also one of the best punt returners in the nation, giving him a very low floor thanks to his special teams prowess and overall feel for the game. NFL scouts love when a player produces as a true freshman for a prestigious school like Alabama, and it’s proven to translate well to early NFL success.
Kool-Aid McKinstry 2023 Stats
14 games: 32 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 0.0 sacks, 7 passes defended, 0 interceptions
4. Cooper DeJean, Iowa
CB | 6’1″ | 203 lbs | 3rd Year
Cooper DeJean is a multi-positional athlete who does everything you’d want on a football field. At 6’1″ 205 pounds, DeJean lines up consistently as a slot corner, outside corner, safety, and even a linebacker. Watching the tape, it’s easy to see why. He has a powerful first step and good overall foot quickness, with impressive ball skills for a defensive player and even better leaping ability to contest jump balls. He is a great tackler for the position who shows an understanding of run defense, and his strong frame helps him contain outside runs.
Following a 2022 campaign with gaudy all-around stats, DeJean fell back down to earth a bit in 2023 but still shined on tape. There’s a question about what position you consider him, but throw him in the slot and he’ll consistently make plays.
Cooper DeJean 2023 Stats
10 games: 41 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 0.0 sacks, 7 passes defended, 2 interceptions
5. Nate Wiggins, Clemson
CB | 6’2″ | 173 lbs | 3rd Year
Nate Wiggins has the look of a prototypical NFL corner. 6’2″ corners with good length and elite athleticism rarely make it out of the top-50 picks in the NFL draft. Wiggins shows good mirroring ability, closes space quickly, and has few wasted steps in coverage which helps with a smooth back pedal and turn-and-go. He does a nice job of reading the receivers hands and attacking at the right moment.
While there’s plenty to work with, Wiggins will need to add muscle and show greater effort against the run. There were also a couple games that really made you question his maturity, which you’ll need to clean up if you’re going to be an effective NFL corner.
Nate Wiggins 2023 Stats
10 games: 29 tackles, 1.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, 8 passes defended, 2 interceptions, 2 fumbles forced

MORE NFL DRAFT RANKINGS
Traits That Make a CB Prospect Great
To be an elite cornerback, you need to be able to run backwards as fast as the best receivers can run forwards. You need elite stop and star ability, great length to break up passes, along with the ability to tackle. Understandably, cornerback is heavily reliant on physical traits. Length, quickness, and speed are among some of the most important factors of scouting the top cornerback prospects.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Fluidity
Fluidity and flexibility, particularly in the hips, is a can’t miss trait for a corner. The ability to turn and run and defend like a basketball player in a standard part of most pass coverage routes. A corner also needs a smooth backpedal and elite start-stop ability. Fluidity can’t really be coached, but it’s needed to match up with the elite athletes at wide receiver.
Length
Length is another uncoachable trait that allows a corner to disrupt at the catch point and break off passes. Corners with short arms rarely get drafted because they have a much smaller margin or error in coverage and have to get closer to a receiver to jam them at the line of scrimmage.
Quickness & Speed
For other position I’ve separated out these two traits, but they’re both vital when determining cornerback draft rankings. Having quick feet underneath with help you stay in good position and effectively mirror your receiver. Speed is also necessary to turn and run on a deep route, helping with recovery and reducing the need for safety help.
Coverage Technique
Athletic traits are necessary, but a cornerback will need some fine tuned technique to succeed in the NFL. Maintaining tight coverage, staying in phase during man or press man coverage, and being aggressive without getting penalties are just a few aspects of good coverage corners.
Overall Opinion of the 2024 CB Class
The opinions on the 2024 cornerback prospects vary widely. There have been some elite corner classes recently, but this one seems a bit worse than we’ve gotten used to at the top. Arnold, Mitchell, McKinstry, and DeJean are nice prospects at the top, but there’s definitely more of a fall off than most analysts seem to realize. Corner is a very traits-heavy position, and there really aren’t too many guys this year with a combination of elite traits and production.
