Kool-Aid McKinstry — NFL Mock Draft Roundup 2.0
Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, we will track where Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry appears in the latest NFL mock drafts.
Kool-Aid McKinstry NFL Mock Drafts
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which McKinstry has appeared:
#27 overall, Arizona Cardinals
The Cards added Sean Murphy-Bunting in free agency but still need help at cornerback for 2024 and beyond. McKinstry has good size and excellent length and plays a physical style of football. He would bring some tone-setting tenacity to the Arizona secondary.
#26 overall, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Trading Carlton Davis created a need at cornerback. Head coach Todd Bowles will always take care of his defense, and it plays hard for him. A center like Graham Barton could also be in the mix with this pick as the Bucs look to replace the retired Ryan Jensen.
#22 overall, Philadelphia Eagles
Corner is a big issue for them as age has become a problem with their starters. They need to get a young cover player who can improve the back end.
#43 overall, Atlanta Falcons
The two biggest needs in Atlanta heading into the draft are pass-rusher and cover corner. They got Dallas Turner in Round 1, so now I have them targeting his Alabama teammate to take away receivers. McKinstry has a Jones fracture in his right foot, but he still ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at the Bama pro day and could be in play even earlier than this.
