CORNERBACK SHOPPING

The Jets had issues at cornerback this season, so it’s an area they could address with a few of their myriad 2021 draft picks.

Here’s an early look at some of the corners expected to go in the first four rounds:

Patrick Surtain II, Alabama (6-2, 202)

A big, physical, durable, shutdown cornerback with great bloodlines, as the son of a terrific NFL cornerback of the same name, who was also his high school coach in South Florida. Surtain II is very good in press coverage.

Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech (6-2, 207)

Tall, physical cornerback with great ball skills, who had 4 picks and 12 PD’s in 2019. He opted out of the 2020 season, so teams will have to go off 2019 film, which was excellent. He’s terrific in press coverage.

Jaycee Horn, South Carolina (6-1, 205)

The son of former NFL wide receiver Joe Horn, he had 2 picks and 6 PD’s in seven games this year, before opting out mid-season. He has a nice combination of size and athleticism and does a terrific job in man-to-man coverage.

Shaun Wade, Ohio State (6-1, 195)

Played in 27 of 28 games over the last two seasons with 57 career tackles, 4 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles and 19 PD’s. A five-star recruit out of Jacksonville, Fla., he played this year as a graduate student.

Derion Kendrick, Clemson (6-0, 195)
