The Houston Texans selected cornerback Kevin Johnson with the 16th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS).
Kevin Johnson of Wake Forest is arguably the best cornerback prospect in this class. Johnson has excellent cover coverage skills and projects as a starting outside corner in the NFL.

Johnson has all the traits scouts look for in a future #1 corner. Johnson is a smooth athlete that can play anywhere on the field. Teams will love that versatility and they will eventually be able to match him with the opponents’ top receivinag threats. Johnson shows outstanding ability to adjust to the ball. Johnson is a confident player who will accept the challenge of going against better opposition.

There are major concerns with Johnson physically. He is very, very thin. His size and frame will scare some teams off on draft day. Johnson is not going to provide much run support. He is easily blocked when chasing the ball carrier.

Johnson’s aggression is a double-edged sword. It leads to big plays, but also makes him bite easily on fakes. His hard-hitting mentality gets him flagged at times. He needs to be more disciplined in his coverage.

Kevin Johnson is a top three cover corner in the draft. Johnson has a lot of upside and will provide a team with a starting corner from day one. Johnson has a strong chance at being selected in round one, but won’t fall far into round two if he slips.
