Blinkscout 2023 CBs ...

Getting things done early this year for a couple of reasons ... first? My time management has reached almost "competent adult" levels. Second? The chatter as we get closer to the draft might have an effect on me and there's simply no new info that will be coming out this month. Third? These tend to get lost the week of the draft. I'll still do my "Top 2 rounds" draft week.
Also, since these get buried quickly, if you want to search for a position group, just put "Blinkscout 2023" in the search bar and they should all come up.
Another note ... defense usually has more players on the lists because of special teams play.

This is one of the better years I've covered for CB. I feel like by the end of the draft there will be more CBs than ever before drafted. We have one gaping hole and one questionable spot ... and honestly it really is not cool to not be able to ignore need in an area. From what I've seen we've met with guys we'd consider to be "our second CB pick" except Julius Brents.
I feel like many of the guys in the 3-4 area will last until the 5th and the people in the 5-6 range may go undrafted. there are a lot of players that didn't even make the combine list that I believe are draftable due to tape plus athleticism. If they're in the bottom tier I believe they are missing one of those.

I'm trying to be more stringent on my grades, but guys will generally be rated higher by me than others because I imagine them in their best fit.

I'll italicize my targets ...
