CJ Henderson, CB, Florida (16.5, -110) – Under
Henderson has separated himself as the favorite to be the second cornerback to be selected in the draft. Cornerback has become a critical position, with teams looking to build their defense with edge rushers and cornerbacks.
The Jaguars pick No. 9, and they traded away Jalen Ramsey and AJ Bouye in the last year. The Jets pick at No. 11 and need help pretty much everywhere. The Raiders pick at No. 12, and their two biggest needs are at cornerback and wide receiver.
With the depth of the receiver class, Henderson has become a prime target. The 49ers are also in the market for a cornerback at pick 13, and Henderson is definitely on their radar. I’d be thoroughly shocked if Henderson fell outside of the top 12-13 picks.
CONFIDENCE LEVEL: 5
