With the departure of Mackensie Alexander, Tankersley will take on the role of shutdown corner for the Clemson Tigers. At 6-1, 195 Lbs, Tankersley has good size, and is projected as a 2nd or 3rd round pick. He had 4 interceptions last season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2) Marquez White, Florida State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marquez White is another in a long line of very good Florida State DBs. When he returned for his senior year, it was a major lift to the Florida State defense. I&#8217;ve seen some mock drafts with White as high as a late first rounder. White didn&#8217;t have huge stats &#8211; 25 tackles and 1 interception, because opposing QBs just wouldn&#8217;t throw his way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3) M.J. Stewart, North Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember when North Carolina had a defense that downright laughable a couple of years ago. Now they have some quality players on defense starting at cornerback. UNC M.J. Stewart is coming off a 2nd Team All-ACC season. He tied for the most passed defended in the ACC last year 18, and had 4 interceptions \u00a0to go along with 62 tackles. He&#8217;s one of the most physical corners in the ACC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4) Des Lawrence, North Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Des Lawrence and M.J. Stewart may give UNC the top pair of corners in the ACC. Lawrence was a 3rd team All-ACC selection in 2015. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/draft\/prospectrankings\/2017\/CB\">CBSSportsline has Lawrence among the top 15 senior corners in the country.<\/a>\u00a0He finished 3rd in the ACC in passed defended last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5) Trumaine Washington, Louisville<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trumaine Washington is Louisville&#8217;s top cover corner and he&#8217;s a good one. A bit undersized at 5-10, he led the Cardinals with 4 interceptions last season while being named honorable mention All-ACC last season. He also had 47 solo tackles in 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Make sure you follow the All Sports Discussion Twitter account at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/allsportsdacc\">@AllSportsDACC<\/a>\u00a0and please like our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/All-Sports-Discussion\/184935911533629?fref=ts\">Facebook Page<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<br>\n<center>\n\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Bottom_Post -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1445137322\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<br>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Horizontal_6 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4619304738\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n<\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous and Upcoming Rankings Quarterbacks\u00a0|\u00a0Running Backs\u00a0|\u00a0Wide Receivers\u00a0|\u00a0Offensive Linemen\u00a0 |\u00a0Tight Ends\u00a0|\u00a0Defensive Linemen\u00a0| Linebackers\u00a0 |\u00a0Safeties\u00a0|\u00a0Special Teams 1) Cordrea Tankersley, Clemson Cordrea Tankersley was a 3rd team All-ACC last year.
