USA Today - If you love highlight-reel interceptions, Jackson may be your favorite corner... A big-play machine with ideal size and length, Jackson’s ridiculous one-handed pick against Ohio State turned plenty of heads, and he’s turned that defining moment into a draft stock explosion...Jackson tied the Hawkeyes’ single-season record with eight interceptions this year, leading the FBS in the process. Still needs some polish, but his physical tools and ball skills will make it nearly impossible for Jackson to fall out of the first round....

Lindy's - No college CB played the position better this season...Led nation with 8 interceptions...Ideal blend of size, rote antipation and ball-skills...Still a work in progress...PR experience...Long-levered - a step late covering smaller quicker receivers...monitor his straigh-line speed. Comp: Rod Woodson.

PFW - Height and length are strong points...Smooth athlete with loose hips..., low in pedal and hands...Willing in run support...but has lean frame...not as aggressive as he should be supporting the run...good but not great speed...Durable...excellent anticipation and ball skills...needs to get stronger in upper body...too many misses whe attempting to tackle.

USA Today - Strong, athletic corner with size and physicality who can matchup with top pass-catchers... Meeks could be a huge steal in a deep corner class....Opposing quarterbacks wisely avoid Meeks if possible, but that didn’t stop him from breaking up 15 passes and picking off five more (two for touchdowns) over the past two seasons. He’s got all the tools to be a quality starter in the NFL for years to come.

Lindy's - (Can best be summed up as: "Finds the ball with his back turned but struggles to make plays on it.")...Steady production each season...size, demeanor and hustle are his calling cards...better run defender than cover guy...lacks explosive traits and top-end speed but brings reaction skills, intelligence & toughness...Prototypical size...Processes the action seamlessly.

PFW - Rare size for a corner...really long arms...Good athlete with low pedal and good turn...keeps plays in front of him...willing run supporter/good tackler....good in zone...but tends to play cautiously and give up too much cushion...suddenness and transition not elite...gives up too many big plays/not a consistent finisher...lacks top-end speed and suddenness...Has the frame to carry 210 lbs and might project better to safety.

BRS (Gollin) - Speed not overwhelming.

USA Today - A former walk-on who worked his way into a scholarship and eventually a starting role in one of the nation’s most talented defensive backfields, he has slowly been climbing up draft boards all year long... Could use a few pounds of quality bulk on his lean frame, but his refined technique and playing style still allow him to be physical at the LOS. NFL coaches will love his competitiveness...

Lindy's - No scholarship options out of HS, but worked his way onto the squad..."Football journey is far from over" due to athletic skill-set and ball production...Loose hipped with fluid footwork...earns his keep with hand techniques in press...Toughness no questionmark....Added consierable weight since HS...Only one season as a starter.

PFW - Exceptional football character...Well-coached...Strengths are height and length...can play man or zone...VG ball reactions - closes quickly...Great back story - originally a 'Bama walk-on who never saw the field til 2016 and never saw a scholarship for 2 years...Willing in support but not a big hitter...Late pick who should make the club.

USA Today -This year’s corner class has yet to see any of the top prospects truly separate/Davis is one of many who could do just that with a strong predraft workout circuit....A physical corner with ideal height and length, his skill set and playing style is exactly what opposing pass-catchers hate lining up against. Puts his physical tools to good use in press-man coverage, and unafraid to mix it up in the box

Lindy's - Big, physical CB with long athletic frame...Steady improvement over past 3 years...Long and athletic...Best in close-in man coverage...plays big vs. big talent...rellable open field tackler with penchant for big hits...may not have come close to reaching ceiling...not a flawless player/prone to giving up big plays...Lacks ideal hands. Comp: Mel Blount

PFW - Excellent size, length and strength...One of the more physical corners in this draft...Can pedal...have to question his awareness - gets confused when switching...Terrific size and length to go with speed...Talented but still developing...May be overdrafted.

USA Today - One of the nation’s most productive corners in 2017, Williams picked off five passes and broke up 19 more...instincts, ball skills and technique overshadow his smaller frame, but size may limit him to slot work at the next levell...Does have all the tools to be a quality starter there, and a solid value in the later rounds of a deep class....Former walk-on (who) has developed into a legitimate NFL prospect, and one of this year’s more underrated corners. Though he lacks ideal size for a pro cover man, he plays with the confidence and physicality of a much bigger defender

BRS (Gollin) - Lacks acceptable top-end speed.

USA Today - Was widely regarded as possibly the top corner prospect in this class, but his roller-coaster performance this year had him drop behind a handful of other names. There’s no denying his physical tools, but his consistency needs a ton of improvement...It doesn’t take long to notice McFadden’s combination of size, length and athleticism, and that alone could entice a team to spend a first-round pick on him. A strong performance at the combine could sneak him into the top 32, but at worst, he’ll be headed for a second-round slot..

Lindy's - Ranks #7 - sensational sophomore season (8 picks) did not repeat itself the following year...Has the length, athleticism and ball skills to be an NFL starter, streaky footwork and fundamentals lead to spacing issues and coverage breakdowns...Outstanding height and length...doesn't let receivers get comfortable...Leverages the sideline...ST standout...One-speed defender who struggles with body-position/head-turn...Average play strength...Comp: PJ Williams

PFW - Excellent height and length...VG zone awareness...low in pedal/can turn quickly...willing in run support/good tackler...question his long-speed...needs to get stronger...production really slipped last year...teams didn't challenge him in 2017 the way they did in 2016...Biggest concern is whether he has top-end speed vs. vertical receivers....If he runs higher than 4.5, he could go higher.

USA Today - This year’s deep corner class is filled with undersized but athletic playmakers with all the physical tools to be quality starters at the next level - Jackson is among the best in that group....He has put his speed to good use breaking up 18 passes over the past two seasons. Some teams may be concerned by his light frame, but if he’s able to add some quality bulk and still retain his fluidity and explosiveness, he could be one of this year’s best values at a premium position.

Lindy's - Has special speed...Athleticism allowed him to play all over the secondary...Playing speed is critical to the position and Jackson checks this box with a big red sharpie...More a freelancer than an instinctive cover man...Undersized with an undisciplined style, but sudden-trwitch athleticism helps mask flaws...Thin-boned frame...not an eager run defender...Questionable discipline (loose-cannon tendencies).

PFW - Ranks as #4 CB - One of the top college sprinters in the US...Excellent speed, quickness and explosion...VG ball reaction and run support (but will miss some tackles)...But has small frame and not very good hands...Very quick and sudden with an exceptional closing burst..Plays ball well (gets a lot of deflections)...

Combine Forty: 4.32

BP: 7...BJ: 124

USA Today - One of the nation’s top safety prospects coming out of high school...eventually made the transition to corner, earning a starting role as a junior in one of the nation’s top defensive backfields....A lean cover man who doesn’t mind mixing it up at the LOS,he will need to add a few pounds of quality bulk if he wants to have the same success in press-man coverage against NFL pass-catchers. A deep corner class could push him to the draft’s final day, where he could be a fantastic value.

Lindy's - Speedy cover man...Played RCB...Doesn't play as big as he measures....Has read/react athleticism and competitive grit that allows him to play sticky coverage...Lacks great ball production but speed and quick reaction skills are NFL-ready...Best long jump in natioin (25-2)...Struggles covering comebacks...Late getting his head turned tp locate FB.

PFW - A technician with the speed and athleticism to play in the NFL...Excellent physical tools...stays low in pedal/quick burst out of pedal...can be physical and jam or re-route his opponent...Quick to transition and support the run...VG tackler...Lean frame...played in program with a reputation for turning out well-coached players...Not special/just very steady...

USA Today - In addition to being a lock-down corner, Phillips has been one of the nation’s most dangerous return specialists, taking back a pair of kickoffs back for 100-yard touchdowns in 2017. Size may limit him to the slot at the next level, but he’ll be a quality starter there from Day 1, and his special teams abilities will allow him to make an immediate impact l....This year’s draft class is loaded with undersized but talented corners, and Phillips is among the best in that category. A feisty, athletic cover man who plays bigger than his listed measurements, he's a schooled technician who frustrates opposing receivers with his brain as much as his brawn...

Lindy's - Playmaker...Half-heartedly made the move from WR to corner, but eventually bought-in to the switch - and thrived...FBS record for returns for TD's (12), including 5 kick-returns and five interceptions.....At corner, he shows the speed and awareness to compete at a high level...Tape plays up his lack of size/functional strength ...Electrifying with ball in his hands....Plays the ball like a WR...Outstanding ball awareness...Confident...consummate teammate...Unbelievably hard-worker...Has narrow underesized frame with minimal bulk...Unreliable but illing tackler(flag-magnet)

PFW - VG athlete with speed...Long arms....VG ball skills...lots of awareness and anticipation....But short - not good in run support...needs to get stronger....willlose some jump balls...wide receiver who moved to corner in 2015...As good a cover guy as he is, he'll lose sometimes due to his height. Projects as a #3 slot corner who should be picked up in Round 3 or 4....

USA Today - A feisty playmaker with solid technique and a nose for the ball, he should be a perfect fit as a nickel corner at the next level. Size may keep him from cracking the top two or three rounds on draft weekend, but he can be an immediate starter at a key position in today’s NFL, making him a potential bargain in the middle rounds...Don’t call Dawson “undersized” unless you’ve actually had to line up against him. This physical, confident cover man plays with the mean streak of a much bigger defender, and opposing receivers have found that out the hard way...

Lindy's - Played behind (& overshadowed by) future early NFL draft picks (Hargraves, Wilson, Tabor)...Lacks ideal height and length, but wins with quiocknes, anticipation and sticky hands...Impressive showing at Senior Bowl...Team first guy...built more like a safety...More than likely to let teammates do the dirty work in physical play.

PFW - Good press-coverage guy/strong jam...Sudden...alert in zone...has the athletic traits needed to play at next level...quick, but his iop-end speed may be just marginal...doesn't attack the run the way he should...height limitations could cost him some jump balls...If he runs better than expected, he could have a shot at playing outside.

USA Today - If you’re looking for a sleeper prospect who is still hovering under the national radar, Ward is your man. A talented cover man with ideal size and length, he has all the physical tools to develop into a starter at the next level....JUCO transfer who broke up five passes and picked off two more in his first season with the Blue Raiders, Ward followed that up with an impressive senior campaign in 2017, breaking up a team-high 14 passes. This year’s deep corner class could make Ward a valuable bargain in the later rounds.

USA Today - A well-built cover man with a great combination of athleticism and physicality, he has the confidence and skill set to develop into starting material at the next level.

Lindy's - Made a name for himself in Hawaii ...didn't register an interception but had fantastic ball production...will probably be underdrafted due to lack of elite speed, height and length...but makes up for it in field-smarts and consistent wins at catch-point...has the coordination and short-area quickness to mix and match in man coverage...ST (PR) experience...not twitchy...Only one season of Power 5 experience.
