The 2023 draft might not see any corners go in the top four picks, but the overall depth at corner might be even better than last year's bunch. It wouldn't be surprising if five cornerbacks went in the first round.
A year ago, cornerbacks Derek Stingley Jr. and Sauce Gardner were drafted back-to-back at No. 3 and No. 4 overall to the Texans and Giants, respectively. Gardner became the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Joey Porter Jr., Penn State Porter is the son of 13-year NFL veteran Joey Porter, who won Super Bowl XL with the Steelers and went to four Pro Bowls. Porter Jr.'s length is ideal for press man coverage, which he excelled at with Penn State. He caught only one interception in four seasons, but he did total 21 passes defended. His hands can get him in trouble with penalties.
Day 2 prospects DJ Turner, Michigan Turner plays with the speed to match up with NFL receivers. A two-year starter at Michigan, he totaled 20 passes defended and three interceptions over 2021 and 2022. He might have trouble playing against bigger, physical targets, but he doesn't back down. He has some experience as a slot corner.
Cam Smith, South Carolina Smith had an impressive 2021, when he totaled 14 passes defended and three interceptions. He didn't have that much ball production last season, but he has the length and speed to battle for a starting job. Smith is versatile and can play inside or outside. He plays a physical style and attacks the football.
Garrett Williams, Syracuse In three seasons as a starter, Williams had tremendous ball production with 27 passes defended and four interceptions. He also totaled 9.5 tackles for loss. Williams is small for an NFL corner, but he has good football instincts. He suffered a torn ACL in October, which could be a concern.
