NFL USA TODAY Sports Christian Gonzalez Joey Porter Jr South Carolina (Organization)

In my initial study, I have written up full scouting reports on 12 cornerbacks and they all received grades of at least 79.0. That is a high third-round grade and 10 of those 12 got second-round grades.

Here is how I have the class currently graded before the NFL combine and athletic testing.
