Nkemdiche’s one of three Ole Miss players expected to go in the first round in 2016, joined by Laquon Treadwell and Laremy Tunsil.
In addition, Florida’s Vernon Hargreaves is rated the second-best defensive back coming out behind Florida State’s Jalen Ramsey. Those two expert covermen have been up for debate for some time and each possess a similar skill set.
