and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here along with

intern Haley English who has continued to bring the fire when it comes to writing

articles for Purple Insider.com and you should go check out her most recent which is living up to her haughtily brand by Hayton on the idea of drafting a cornerback.

Not exactly, but Haley, I was blown away.

What you researched was how recent draft pick corners

performed in college by their PFF grade and then in the NFL by their

PFF grade and it was remarkable to see how many guys who have been drafted high in

recent years have just been bad.

Even some that had really, really good PFF grades in college,

which I think is a decent enough measure,

even though you looked more into some different statistics

for this class, which we'll get to. But the fact that so many of them went bust, such a high percentage, should that like give us a little pause about the idea of the Vikings drafting a corner?

Like what is going on with all these college corners who are picked high struggling when they get to the NFL?

Yeah, it was wild like looking between the college coverage grades down by PFF, compared to the players

NFL coverage grades. Out of the 34 corners drafted in the past four years in the first and second rounds.

Only two of them have improved on that college coverage grade

at being a sauce gardener and Kyi or Elam,

and they're both from last year.

So we really don't even have a full sample size

and what they're going to be yet too.

So like they can easily underperform and now we can have all first and second round

cornerbacks having below average or not like below average stats but below stats from what they did in college.
