Cornerback Rankings From The College Football Perspective: 2024 NFL Draft
By Pete Fiutak,

Everyone is in to the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft, and the wide receivers are strong, but the corners might be the sneaky-best position when it comes to depth and solid starters.
There's something for everyone. There's lots of speed across the board, several battlers who can get physical to be had on Day 3, and everything in between.
Dec 2, 2023; Detroit, MI, USA; Toledo Rockets cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (27) breaks up a pass intended for Miami (OH) Redhawks wide receiver Gage Larvadain (10) in the third quarter at Ford Field
Kamal Hadden, From The College Football Perspective: A lean veteran who came to Tennessee from the JUCO ranks, he turned into a good playmaker in his third season. He's coming off a shoulder problem and didn't play a full season with the Vols, but his length and quickness will get him a long look.
Chau Smith-Wade, From The College Football Perspective: He's a bit too slow but he's a good all-around athlete who plays faster than his 4.54 time. He'll hang with the bigger receivers with his feistiness; he's a baller who could stick with a good early showing in camp.
Tarheeb Still, From The College Football Perspective: Safety-like with hit physical style, he's a strong tackler who steadily produced over the last three years. He broke up a ton of passes in his first two years, but only generated one pick until the five he came up with as a senior.
Dwight McGlothern, From The College Football Perspective: Tall, fast, and quick, he started out at LSU before becoming a quietly strong playmaker at Arkansas over the last two seasons.
He came up with seven picks and 16 broken up passes, but he was hit-or-miss overall. He might not be a top starter, but he fits in a rotation.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr., From The College Football Perspective: After growing into a nice corner in his three years at Florida State, he stepped in at Louisville and was a strong baller with 18 broken up passes. He's a good enough tackler, but it's his quickness and tenacity that teams will like.
Kalen King, From The College Football Perspective: 4.61. The 40 time is too slow and it might be a non-starter for several teams. But he's a good football player who broke up 18 passes in 2022 and was good enough as a tackler.
He fell off a bit in 2023, and he might be a quick cut if he doesn't overcome the lack of tools to stand out right away in camp, but he might stick if he can carve out a niche as a third down defender.
Josh Wallace, From The College Football Perspective: Outstanding for four years at UMass, he came aboard for one season at Michigan and was good enough as part of the corner rotation.
A self-starting team leader, he's able to overcome a slew of missing things - size, blazing speed, college interceptions - by being ready to work into the mix right away.
Christian Roland-Wallace, From The College Football Perspective: He brings a world of experience with four years at Arizona before going to USC last season.
A good tackler, he'll mix it up and might even project to be used as a safety at times, but with him it's all about his time logged in. You're hoping for a rookie who'll act like a veteran backup.
Decamerion Richardson, From The College Football Perspective: A great tackler who plays more physical than his thin frame, he's a productive all-around player with 4.34 speed.
The problem? He's just okay when the ball is in the air and is sort of a tweener - he's not a safety, and he needs to be rotational corner.
M.J. Devonshire, From The College Football Perspective: The tools are there. He's built well, runs a 4.45, and he's got a good frame and length to play bigger than his size.
