Should the Browns stay at pick No. 26, the more likely cornerbacks projected to be on the board could be Farley or Newsome.
Farley, who opted out of his 2020 season at Virginia Tech, missed the school s pro day due to a back procedure and enters the draft with injury concerns, but he s still expected to land in the first round. Analysts believe he could be selected as soon as the early teens or as late as the final few first-round picks, and he s considered to have Pro Bowl potential after tallying 19 pass breakups in 23 games with the Hokies.
Feldman tabbed Farley in his 2020 collection of freak college football players and highlighted speed as his top attribute.
