About the expert
For cornerbacks, we reached out to Charles Davis a former defensive back who is now an analyst for FOX NFL and for NFL Network.
The native of Elizabethton, Tennessee, was a standout safety for the Volunteers from 1982-86. Davis signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys in 1987 but was waived prior to the season.
Davis joined FOX Sports as an analyst in 2006 and in 2008 joined the NFL on FOX postgame show alongside Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw.
Since 2017, Davis has worked alongside Kevin Burkhardt and Pam Oliver as one of FOX's NFL broadcast crews.

Knowing the Vikings will likely add to the position at some point in the upcoming draft, we asked Davis to give his overall thoughts on the group of prospects. He described this year's group as having "good depth."
"Not as deep as the wide receivers they will be chasing, but still plenty of talent available, especially beginning in Round 2," Davis said. "With the size of receivers continuing to shoot up (taller and stronger), and with the tight end position now becoming a home for 'rocked up' wide receivers, the cornerbacks that teams are seeking are ones with height, length and strength to compete with those receivers and tight ends that are making plays downfield."
Davis provided insight on 10 cornerback prospects, which can be found below.
