Maybe you’ve heard? The Philadelphia Eagles need help at cornerback.

Sometimes, you can find things in places that you wouldn’t expect to. It happens to all of us from time to time. You come across something that you haven’t seen in a minute or you channel your inner Dick Tracy, and you crack that case of the missing eyeglasses. If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan, pat yourselves on the back because we’re all about to do the same thing here.

For every one of the league’s 32 teams, the NFL Draft is where the quest to build a 2021 depth chart will begin. Teams hope to add talent and a few game-changers. They’ll also be looking to find a few diamonds in the collective rough in later rounds.

Well, nothing exemplifies that theory like finding some defensive talent in a college football conference whose teams seem as though they have no intention of putting any real effort into stopping anyone. Here sits a collective of some of the nation’s most well-known programs, one that’s known for its offensive juggernauts. Still, NFL teams have often stocked their cupboards with defensive guys that come from a Power Five conference that’s called the Big 12 but actually only houses ten teams.

That’s another story for another day, but let’s do some homework in the meantime. Philly needs cornerback help, and they’ll be looking everywhere to find it. Here’s an attempt to assist them. What follows is the three best cover guys entering 2021’s selection meeting from the Big 12.
