Greedy Williams and Byron Murphy will be long gone and are really the only two elite corners in this draft, with maybe an undersized Kris Boyd getting consideration. After that you can get good to great corners, but not “elite” players like the two linebackers.

We can probably get Boyd on day three. Scouts aren't particularly in love with his game atm. I'm a Longhorn fan and have watched every game this season, he hasn't held up well against elite WR competition in the Big XII. Here is what an agent said about him a few weeks back.
"It is "idiotic" that CB Kris Boyd has been invited to the Senior Bowl, but, has yet to accept the invitation. This agent is not going after Boyd (did not specify why), but has done work on him and says that he is not a player with high enough draft stock to forego such an opportunity. He said that maybe he already has an agent in mind to sign with who is giving him awful advice, or maybe he is just waiting to sign with an agent before officially accepting the offer, so as not commit to anything he'll have to back out of later.
The fact is, though, he is not seen as an elite prospect at this time and could really help himself with a good week in Mobile. He needs to accept the invitation before new Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy gives his spot to someone else. Boyd should feel like he has a lot to prove after a very disappointing end to his senior season at Texas based on bad individual performances in high-visibility matchups. Here's hoping he accepts the offer any day now, and will be joining teammate Charles Omenihu for the showcase of a lifetime in front of literally every important NFL decision-maker."
