I actually would pick Lattimore over them, but that more to do with my belief that they are a bit overrated (but still very good), whereas I think Lattimore can be a true shutdown corner.

I don't think this draft had any elite pass rusher, but it did have two elite secondary players in Adams and Lattimore.

I also don't believe Barnett is really a step down over Garrett and Thomas. I think all 3 can be very good if they reach their potential. I don't think any will be elite.

I give Garret the benefit of the doubt in part because Chavis' scheme is really not all that favorable to pass rushers like him, he doesn't give them much help at all. Still....he does strike me as a bit soft, we'll see.

Adams probably has the lowest bust potential of the guys listed, has the athletic profile and has proved it on the field.

We've discussed the hammies on Lattimore enough and that's really his biggest knock, but this misnomer is that they continue to plague him. Not the longest track record but definitely brought it last season, enough to establish himself as the best CB in a very deep class.

Garrett and Thomas are elite for their positions. So is Lattimore. I would take Lattimore over Thomas, but Myles Garret is a Peppers clone, hard to pass on. There's a reason he was consensus no.1 by all draft experts.
