Amerson is the unanimous top eligible corner in this year's draft. I have yet to seen a source that doesn't have him at the top. Amerson has elite height for a corner at 6'3 and also possesses lengthy arms. He is excellent in the air as he came down with an ACC record, 13 interceptions in one year. Amerson has been starting for NCSU since his freshman year and was an All-American last year as a sophomore.
2. Xavier Rhodes* - Florida State
Rhodes has great size and athleticism for a corner at 6'2/217. He is effective at jamming receivers and plays very physical game. Rhodes had a breakout year in 2010 which resulted in him being named the ACC Rookie Defensive Player of the Year. With high expectations in 2011, Rhoades had a disappointing year but still has the talent and ability of a first-round pick.
3. Johnthan Banks - Mississippi State
Banks is a solid corner who has started for Mississippi State for three years. He has a lot of natural instincts but needs to add some weight to his 6'2/185 frame. He has been named to several preseason All-American teams for the 2013 season.
4. Dee Milliner - Alabama
Milliner was overshadowed by Dre Kirkpatrick last year, but he'll have his chance this year to showcase his skills against the opponent's best receivers. I'm expecting a breakout year for Milliner who has great speed and plays with an attacking mentality.
5. Carrington Byndom* - Texas
Byndom proved to be one of the best, if not the best, cornerbacks in the Big 12 last year as only a sophomore. With Texas having a great defense this year, expect Byndom to get a lot more attention.
