I mean Mitchell is the 24th rated corner, DeJean is the 8th rated corner, Jarian Jones is the 70th rated corner, and Wiggins is the 79th rated corner.  Don't shoot the messenger.

I have no problem with you preferring others in the draft process. It's a message board for everyone to have different positions and would be quite boring if they were all of the same. The fault is where you claimed he wasn't exceptional and by any notable metric that's simply not true. By your own metrics chosen to prove this (Passer Rating/INTs) he's better or equal to the others you claim are better. The logic doesn't track here for your argument. You might not be wrong over time - anything can happen, but you are objectively wrong on "Not excellent by any stretch" and I would wager that's only based on you wanting your original opinion on him to be right and not data/games as that says otherwise. 

No big deal the point of my OP was I hoped the Jags invested early as the good ones tend to be chosen early. The exceptional CBs (Wiggins/Cooper/Mitchell) prove this IMO

Yeah, I had 2 corners at the top of my board as you had one at the top of yours.  Although BTJ was on my short list of guys I wanted us to get who I felt would be there.  I'm also glad we got BTJ instead of Mitchell and DeJean though even though both look great.  You still wish we drafted Wiggins instead of BTJ?  Have to give Trevor BTJ, that's more important than any corner right now.  As much as I liked Mitchell and DeJean i think Hunter and Will Johnson if healthy are a better prospects. Do you think Wiggins and is a better corner prospect than Johnson or Hunter?
