2026 NFL draft: a CB for every round

The Arizona Cardinals have a number of needs they will try to address in the 2026 NFL draft. They really could go with any position during the draft.

Leading up to the start of the draft, we have been going over players who could be targets in each round.

Let's have a look at cornerbacks.

Round 1: Mansoor Delane, LSU

He is nearly 6 feet tall and is compared to Quinyon Mitchell. He had two picks and 11 pass breakups last season and was an All-American.

Round 2: Brandon Cisse, South Carolina

His explosive jumps show an athletic burst. He is physical and will tackle in the run game.

Round 3: Keionte Scott, Miami

He is physical. He had 64 tackles and five sacks. Oh, and he picked off two passes that he also returned for touchdowns. He broke up five passes and forced two fumbles, and his old position coach is now coaching cornerbacks for the Cardinals.

Round 4: Julian Neal, Arkansas

He is 6-2 and 201 pounds with sub-4.5-second speed. He had two picks and 10 pass breakups in 2025.

Round 5: Hezekiah Masses, Cal

After three years at FIU, he played one season for Cal and had an explosion of ball production. He had five interceptions and 13 pass breakups. He is almost 6-1 and a lead 179 pounds, and he can move.

Round 6: TJ Hall, Iowa

Hall is nearly 6-1 and weighs 201 pounds, but his 40 was 4.59 seconds, which isn't ideal. He had good on-ball production with an interception and 10 pass breakups last season.

Round 7: Latrell McCutchin, Houston
