CORNERBACK RANKINGS 2027 NFL DRAFT

Corner is top-heavy. Two reach our top fifteen but only three make the top thirty-two, the thinnest depth at the position alongside 2021 in seven years of grading.

Notre Dame's Leonard Moore is the best cover man in the class, a true sophomore who took five interceptions and added seven breakups in ten games, mirroring routes in press and reading the quarterback in zone. Georgia's Ellis Robinson IV, the top-ranked corner in his recruiting class, tied for the SEC lead among defensive players with four interceptions in his first year as a starter, including a pick-six against Tennessee. Alabama's Zabien Brown started all thirteen games as a true freshman and has since taken two more back for scores, one of them from 99 yards.

Both of the top two have something obvious to clean up - Moore missed seven tackles, Robinson gave up 315 yards - which is what a year of returning tape is for.
