South Carolina. Jaycee Horn. Scouting Report. 12. player. 54. Pick Analysis. CB
Jaycee Horn could be the first cornerback chosen in this year’s draft but he could also fall to the teens, but I see him somewhere in between as the Eagles scoop him up here at No. 12 overall seeing as they desperately need some help at cornerback.
The Eagles picked up Darius Slay last offseason and now they need a cornerback to start on the opposite side of the field to sure up the defensive backfield.
A Slay-Horn combo would be one heck of a one-two punch and it could end up being one of the better duos in the league in a year or two.
The South Carolina cornerback had 85 total tackles, six tackles for loss, three sacks and 17 pass breakups in his first two seasons. As a junior, he racked up 16 tackles, a tackle for loss, two sacks and six pass deflections. He was one of the best cornerbacks in the nation and he could be the guy next to Slay.
