I wish Mitchell played against better competition as well but he donminated everyone he went up against. Teams didnt really throw at him and when they did it wasnt good for them. Cant wait to see how all these players test and see how these corners move in the drills

Maybe the most domiant game by corner ever

4 Int and 2 pick 6s

That was a great game by Mitchell, for sure. I believe he will eventually become a very good cornerback, possibly even top 10. My only problem with him, as I said, was level of competition. N. Illinois was a 1-4 team in a weak conference when Mitchell went up against them. Going up against the Justin Jefferson's and Cee Dee Lamb's in the NFL would be an incredibly big difference. I wouldn't mind if he was the pick, but Arnold is the most complete cornerback in this draft. It's not his fault that few great cornerbacks have come out of Alabama, although Patrick Surtain and Marlon Humphries have done very well in the NFL.

I would rate Arnold number 1 on my cornerback list followed by Mitchell and Wiggins who'd be tied for 2nd. Wiggins is extremely fast and may have the most overall talent as a pure cornerback. His interviews will be critical, in my opinion. He is known to be a constant trash talker, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a cornerback. If his character checks out fine, he'd be a solid pick. I just prefer Arnold at this time. He is still very young (20) and has room to keep improving. His football intelligence is considered very high in addition to leadership traits. He is much superior to Wiggins in tackling. "Kool-Aid" McKinstry is a good prospect, but I see him more as a 2nd rounder. Again, just my opinion.

Thats right, Surtain is the other one. You are sleeping on DeJean, he is great in man and zone on top of being a great returner. I think you could move DeJean around to if you wanted and get creative with him if a DC dedided to do so as well. Arnold improved a good bit this year but teams also went at him a lot with McKinstry on the other side. I think we will run more man with Niesen and Arnold was the worst out of all the top corners in man with the luxury of having McKinstry on the other side of him. Its sucks DeJean wont be able to test at the combine but hopefully he will be ready at the Pro day. I have Mitchell and DeJean as my top 2.
