Mayock's Look At The Draft: Cornerbacks and other draft articles

TOP FIVE

Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia

5-8½, 175 lbs., 40 Time: 4.35

Scouts at Austin’s pro day in West Virginia were blown away by his speed, especially when seeing it in person. Sometimes we get numb to seeing sub-4.4 40-yard dash times, but seeing how someone like Austin can use it to his advantage, it changes the dynamic entirely. He’s one of the top playmakers in the entire draft and could instantly change a team.

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee

6-2, 216 lbs., 40 Time: 4.4

His size, strength and speed immediately jump off the charts, although it will be his rawness that scares teams initially. There’s a chance Patterson can be a top-10 pick, but it won’t be without the hope that whoever selects him can polish his route tree. At the end of the day, though, he has the goods that you can’t teach.
