2017 Draft deep

This is a good year to need a new cornerback, edge rusher, running back, and tight end. Unlike in recent years, this draft class is loaded with talent at all four positions. Ten corners make Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 prospects, which is incredible. We may see players worthy of first-round selection fall into the second and even third round.

2017 NFL Draft: Grading each position group

http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2017/1/17/14287666/2017-nfl-draft-grading-each-position-group

Cornerback: A+
The 2017 class may not have a top-five overall corner, but is absolutely loaded with future stars. A many as ten corners go be taken in the first round, and possibly twenty-plus before Day 3. Size, speed, coverage ability and ball skills abound.

Safety: A+
Another loaded position, at least three safeties should go in the first round. As many as five strong safeties could be chosen before Day 3, but what really makes this safety group special is excellent depth from top to bottom and an abundance of natural free safeties. Headed by Malik Hooker, 2017 includes more than a few centerfielder types, which has been an elusive position lately.

Which position in 2017 NFL Draft is the deepest?

Daniel Jeremiah

Executive 2: Safety
“Overall, this is the best group of DBs we’ve had in several years. Specifically, I love the safety depth. I keep watching one good player after another.

Executive 3: Cornerback
“This draft is loaded with corners. There are some elite guys at the top of the draft, but I think there are some excellent value guys in the middle rounds and a bunch of sleepers I really like on Day 3

Executive 4: Cornerback
“I think it’s a very deep draft at several positions, but cornerback is the deepest…. I think we could see 20 of them go off the board in the top 100 picks.”

Executive 5: Cornerback
“I love the corners in this draft. I think every team has them in a different order and I’m fascinated to see how they come off the board.”
