Cornerbacks

  1. Josh Norman
  2. Sean Smith
  3. Prince Amukamara
  4. Casey Hayward

Perhaps the most loaded position in the 2016 NFL free agency class, the cornerback group is headed by fastly ascending star Norman. If you had to start a secondary from scratch, Norman would be the cornerback you’d want covering No. 1 wideouts.

Not far behind Norman is 6-foot-3 Smith, who played second fiddle to Defensive Rookie of the Year Marcus Peters in 2015. With Peters an established presence in Kansas City now, Smith may be interested in moving to a new city.

Amukamara is as injury-prone as they come, but he’s also immensely talented.

Hayward is an outstanding slot corner, a hair above the three slot corners listed in the honorable mention section below.

Honorable mention: Leon Hall, Jerraud Powers, Brandon Boykin
