  I think teams will have these corners rated differently depending on what type of defense teams run.  With as mush man as Nielsen runs and McKinstry was the best press corner in college I don't think it would be a stretch if he is Nielsens top corner.  Would love it if we good get him in the 2nd though.  Teams that don't run as much man probably won't have McKinstry rated as high.  Have to look at scheme fits.

That would be nice to land him in the 2nd, but even zone schemes will play man at times or have zone/man hybrid defenses.  If McKinstry is viewed as consensus best man corner in the draft, he's not making it to the 2nd round.
