Which College Football cornerbacks project to be first round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft?

In the 2017 NFL Draft, five cornerbacks were selected in round one with the sixth being chosen with the first pick in the second round. The 2018 NFL Draft, however, was light on corners early on with only three selected in the first round.

Early indications are the 2019 class will be a repeat with three standouts followed by a lot of mid-round talent.

In day two and early day three range, numerous prospects are fighting for position. Some of the prospects who are currently in that discussion but did not crack the top five include Amani Oruwariye of Penn State, Levonta Taylor of Florida State, Derrick Baity of Kentucky and Iman Marshall of USC.

So who are the top three cornerbacks eligible for the 2019 draft and who leads the way among day two and three prospects at the position?

Here’s a countdown of the top five cornerbacks heading into the 2018 college football season.
