BEST MAN/PRESS COVERAGE CORNERBACKS 2027 NFL Draft

2027 BEST MAN/PRESS COVERAGE CORNERBACKS

Man and press coverage is the grade that gets a cornerback drafted in the first round. It scores every snap where he is responsible for one receiver: the press at the line, staying in phase, and the play on the ball. Stephon Gilmore (South Carolina) and Marshon Lattimore (Ohio State) both graded at the top of the country here in their draft years.

Below, draft-eligible cornerbacks are ranked by man and press coverage grade, with zone coverage, tackling, run defense and overall rating alongside.
