We have hit every single position group for the 2027 NFL Draft, and now we wrap up with the defensive backs. This class is loaded at the top, with some gems sprinkled in the later rounds. With potentially five first-round picks from this group, what does the top ten look like?
Let’s talk about it:
1) Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame
3) Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia
4) Tae Johnson, S, Notre Dame
5) Zabien Brown, CB, Alabama
6) Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State
7) Ashton Hampton, CB, Clemson
9) OJ Frederique Jr., CB, Miami
10) Audavion Collins, CB, Penn State
As you can see, this cornerback class has the potential to be exceptionally good, headlined by Leonard Moore from Notre Dame, who has shades of Patrick Surtain II in his game. KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV from Georgia are such a talented duo that they could go within mere picks of one another. Four through seven could easily hear their names called in the first round, with all ten guys surely going in the first two days.
