A look at the Chicago Bears’ scouting of cornerbacks, which is split into three tiers: First Round Talent, Rounds 2-3 Talent, and Late Round Talent. Each position’s scouting takes into account attributes, most importantly, physicals and age second, and ddt third, along with factoring in personal preferences and who fits the scheme or mold of a Monster of the Midway.
Round 1 Talent
Jermond McCoy
Rounds 2-3 Talent
D’Angelo Ponds
Malik Muhammed
Rounds 4-7 Talent
Daylen Everette
Keionte Scott
Theran Johnson
Domani Jackson
Mansoor Delane
Kapena Gushiken

Hindsight
The only position that I didn’t spend much time on for defense, my list is limited but fairly accurate. I classified this position group pre-draft as “fast but a*s” and I think it’s just better than I expected, so good on the guys who got day-1 starters and future starters, alike. I was absolutely right about McCoy and I’m pretty displeased that Jackson and Delane went first round, although Delane is good, just old. Malik and D’Angelo were both picked in the first 5 picks of the second round, so if I panic picked a corner in the first round, I would have at least got it right. A deeper position group then I gave it credit for.
