Here is The Athletic's mock draft (sub req'd), which looks updated 12/4 and has him listed #28 to New Orleans.


look there's no doubt in my mind that many of these scouts will go solely on measurables but he really doesn't have much on game tape from this year.

I agree with this. I think he’s a 2nd-3rd round corner. His tape wasn’t impressive this year.


No way that's possible.
Every draft expert I’ve read still has him with a first round grade.

He may go in the first round because those NFL mofos love to stick to their numbers. Measurables are all that matters to some of those guys. I think he clearly regressed this year, and his ceiling isn't as high as we once thought it was going to be after watching him as a youngster. I don't expect him to ever be an elite NFL CB, and instead will spend his career bouncing from one team to another as a nickel or dime role player.

For his sake, I hope he proves me wrong. I wish him luck. Either way, the kid is gonna make a ton of money

Depends on who is editing. He had some great plays but he also had some not great plays.
Funny how I only remember CJ getting burned by average receivers and missing countless tackles. Yeah, the NFL will love your game film from this season. CJ.
Good riddance. More than likely not such a bad thing since Elam and Jaydon Hill are waiting their turn.

Good for him if he thinks that what he has to do. Thanks for representing the Gators. Always will have a home here.

Not sure why all they hate. He's rated 17 on Kiper's Board and highly ranked for other analysts. He's had an ankle injury for at least part of the season. His draft status will hinge heavily on his combine, so why not be as healthy as possible.

If we go to the Orange Bowl, I'm not sure that Henderson will be needed to beat Virginia.

I'm rooting hard for CJ. If he goes in the first round, recruits will notice. It furthers our DBU status. His combine will be very important.

He will do about as good as Jachai Polite did and get cut quick

No one can do that bad. He is a combine legend for all the wrong reasons. He refused to show up for practices with the jets. He was a complete train wreck. Nothing in CJ's history suggests that kind of meltdown.
