Pittsburgh Review

The 2025 NFL Draft is fast approaching, and analysts Dale Lolley, Matt Williamson, and Mike Prisuta have shared their insights on the top cornerback prospects. The draft will take place in April, with many eyes on the inside cornerback position.

Dale Lolley highlights Travis Hunter as a standout player. Hunter is a two-way star who can also play wide receiver, adding versatility to his profile. Despite injuries affecting several players in this year's class, Lolley notes that "some talented corners could slip because of their injury issues," which might lead to volatility during the draft.

Matt Williamson points out that each top prospect has some questions or red flags but believes these concerns will be addressed soon. He emphasizes the depth of talent available, stating that there are potential starting cornerbacks throughout the first two days of the draft.

Mike Prisuta echoes this sentiment by highlighting the speed and depth at the cornerback position. "There's projected first-round talent available at cornerback," he says while noting there's intriguing depth for teams not looking to invest heavily in a first-round pick.

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah shares his assessment: "There's a lot of Day-2 talent at the cornerback position." He suggests that there will be a significant group of capable players available beyond just the first round.

Travis Hunter from Colorado remains a key focus across all three analysts' rankings. His dual-position capability makes him an exciting prospect. Jahdae Barron from Texas and Maxwell Hairston from Memphis are also frequently mentioned due to their performances and physical attributes.

Overall, this year's cornerback class offers both top-tier talent and promising depth for teams seeking to strengthen their defensive backfield positions during the upcoming draft.
