Today I wanted to look at cornerback prospects in the upcoming draft, a position that is very deep that the Pittsburgh Steelers could look to upgrade in the 2023 draft. The graph below uses their 2022 PFF Grade and their current rank on PFF’s Big Board that updates through the draft process:
The top overall player on PFF’s current board at the position is Devon Witherspoon out of Illinois at number six. He played 700+ snaps in each of the last two seasons after having 450+ in 2020, playing primarily on the outside along with increased snaps in the slot (100+ in 2022).
