Arnold most overhyped DB this class IMO his coverage production is simply not great and he doesn't have elite size or speed. Cooper is a stud but I'm lumping him with Safety's and Nickelbacks. I remember Clemson CBs coach scouting King in HS and being very impressed as Michigan is not the usual recruiting footprint. Same for Lassiter who at one point was Clemson bound so no surprise he turned out to be a player for UGA

I don't feel strongly about the order subject to change, I'll go
1. Mitchell
2. Wiggins
3. Kool Aid
4. Lassiter
5. Rakestraw

I think Cooper being white is why nobody takes him too seriously at the next level as a CB. Because it's just not traditionally a white guy position. Riley Moss, his former teammate, he ended up with Denver last year but was hurt at some point. 

DeJean is a better athlete than him. The reason I rate him highly is because of his versatility. He can play safety, he can play outside corner, he can play slot, he can play man and he can play zone. He also gives you a viable threat on special teams if needed in a pinch.

He's a natural athlete and because of his versatility I think you get more opportunities of having success out of him. At the very least, I think he'll end up being who everybody was hoping Jabrill Peppers would be in the NFL when he left Michigan. 

Agreed on Arnold. Not a fan of his. His counterpart, McKinstry is a better overall player in my opinion. I like his potential. I think his potential is high enough to where he could be another Jaire Alexander type in the NFL. 

Kalen King is a really good man-to-man option in RD2 in my opinion. He's been a good player for Penn St. Again, another good school and program putting out promising talent on defense. 

I don't think he's as good as Joey Porter Jr. was coming out of school last year but he has CB2 potential and that's at least one less starter you have to worry about if you need one. I think Kalen King has high end potential though. 

I like Wiggins size and he probably has the most potential to grow as a football player at the next level.

Wiggins 40 time if officially clocked at 4.2 is going to more than likely solidify him as a top 15 pick for some team. That's really good straight line speed for a 6'1 prospect.

I don't think his weight will scare too many teams off. It didn't stop teams last year from drafting guys like Forbes and McDonald (DE/OLB) earlier than expected. Wiggins at least already had some good qualities and a reputation on him leaving Clemson.
