The NFL is trending in a very clear direction and cornerbacks are more valuable now than ever before. Why? How did this happen? CarmieV explains. FrontOffice33 | NFL
In contrast, Jaycee Horn was the first corner taken in the 2021 NFL Draft at No. 8 overall, and do you remember how over-drafted Horn was thought to be at the time? Patrick Surtain II went one pick after Horn, leaving most surprised there were two corners going in the top 10. The year before was the same when both Jeff Okudah and C.J. Henderson went in the top 10 before you go back to the 2019 NFL Draft when, in a dramatic drop-off, only one corner went in the first round total.
What’s even more interesting upon looking at the corners commanding top dollar is the clear direction the NFL is moving in and what they are prioritizing from the position. They all fit similar characteristics: well-rounded, lengthy and scheme-diverse. Every single one of the corners mentioned by name above is at least 6-foot-1. Heck, Gardner is 6-foot-3.
