The Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback room took a huge hit when it was announced that Jalen Ramsey was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. That need grew even more direr when the Jaguars doubled-down, trading All-Pro teammate, A.J. Bouye, just a few months down the road in exchange for a fourth-round pick from the Denver Broncos.

The Jaguars have a serious lack of both talent and depth at the position and will need to be on the hunt for their replacements in the 2020 Draft. The team seems confident in Tre Herndon’s ability to man one side, however, the team still lacks competition on the other side. Let’s take a look at the top-5 cornerbacks in this class as Jacksonville eyes help in their secondary:
Jeffrey Okudah
Why not replace Jalen Ramsey with the best corner since Ramsey? Okudah is among the best corners to come out in recent years. He’s long, fast, physical, and extremely talented. He’s regarded by many as the best player in the 2020 NFL Draft aside from his college teammate Chase Young, and it’s easy to see why. The Buckeye was rarely targeted but when he did he produced, intercepting three passes in his final season in Columbus. He also accounted for zero penalties, an impressive feat on its own.
