2. Trevon Diggs, Alabama
Size: 6-1, 205
The Good: With terrific size and excellent quickness, he’s got all the tools to go along with the experience to be ready from the start. He has seen everything, and he’s been able to come through with 57 tackles, 14 broken up passes and four picks over the last two seasons.
All the prototype NFL skills are there. He’s got the right size, the right body type, and the right long speed to hang around with any type of receiver. Smooth, he moves like a next-level starting corner is supposed to.

The Not-So-Good: While he has good size and he’ll get physical, he won’t come up with the big pop. He’s more of a functional tackler than anything a receiver has to worry about – there’s not a whole lot of intimidation to his style. He’ll take a few too many chances, but those are usually errors by putting in too much effort.
NFL Draft College Perspective Thought: Start with all of the tools needed and go from there. He made his share of big plays over the last two seasons and grew into bigger star. Now he’ll be the type of ball-hawker who’ll put up massive numbers when picked on as a rookie.
Projected Round: First
