Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State
Not that Okudah needs a killer combine to impact his draft stock — I recently mocked him to the Redskins with the second overall pick, and you’d have to go a ways to find a mock that doesn’t have him in the top five. Okudah fits the profile of the modern boundary cornerback to a “T.” But if he’s able to run in the low 4.3s, as some believe he might, that’ll likely make him the most coveted defensive player in this class not named Chase Young.
