So, is there a cornerback in the 2025 NFL draft class that would be a good value pick for the Washington Commanders at No. 29?
That question was posed to Jeremy Greene, Sportsocracy draft analyst, on the most recent "Take Command" podcast episode hosted by Logan Paulsen and Craig Hoffman.
Paulsen and Hoffman both said they felt like Commanders' DC Joe Whitt Jr. wants a corner who can play good aggressive man coverage and tackle well. Here are some of the thoughts that Greene offered last week regarding some of the corners believed to be in the top tier of mock drafts.
- Shavon Revel (6-3, 193, East Carolina), who Greene said is more of a read-and-react zone coverage corner. "I love Revel, he is in my top 20 overall. The medical on him is going to be fine, it was a clean tear. But I do like him better in zone."
- "I love Trey Amos (6-1, 190, Ole Miss) if you are looking for someone that is going to play up in your face. Trey Amos plays like he is trying to get somebody in his family to tell him they are proud of him. He wants to get in everybody's face. He is hyper aggressive...I love Trey Amos."
- "If you are looking for somebody in the middle to late three, maybe even into four (round), Nohl Williams (6-1, 200, California). Williams has that aggressive, get into your face, aggressive, press man, really good with his hands, not super fast which I think will push him down."
- "I'm in like, not love with Azareye'h Thomas (6-2, 198, Florida State). Look, I'm a Florida State guy. I can just tell you, I kept seeing him in the first round (mock drafts) going, 'Don't do that, don't do that, you won't like how that goes...He's a bully corner that unfortunately is not all that fast."
- Benjamin Morrison (6-0, 190, Notre Dame) "I love the player. But the injuries scare the heaper jeapers out of me. That hip makes me super nervous. He had the hip procedure during the season. He had another procedure after the season, and no one will tell me what it was. I have a second round grade on Morrison."
