Take with a grain of salt, but I can see Hysterikal being livid reading this:

Henderson Could go Top 10
Updated March 31, 2020

Every year in the NFL draft, there are some late-rising prospects who climb up draft boards and end up going higher than where they were projected for the majority of the draft process. One prospect who could be enjoying that climb this year is Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson. After a stellar performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, sources from five different teams say that Henderson could be a top-10 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and multiple team sources feel he could end up being a better cover corner than Ohio State's Jeff Okudah, the consensus top cornerback for the 2020 NFL Draft and a projected top-five pick.

"[Henderson] is the best pure cover corner in the draft," said one director of college scouting. And that comment was echoed by others. Here's a what another director of college scouting said:

    "Yes, he could be a top-10 pick and better cover corner than Okudah. [Henderson] is a better mover than Okudah, who is overrated. Okudah hasn't gone and made many plays the last two years when you study it hard. He's a better tackler than C.J., but I'd take Henderson. Okudah's character is so clean that people feel so comfortable with him. C.J. isn't bad; he's just extremely quiet."

This is the same guy that reported the 49ers were torn between Quinnen and Nick last year.

Okudah looks kind of stiff to me, so I could see why some teams might be lower on Okudah. Okudah is a monster in run support though. In what little I've seen, Henderson is pretty much the opposite. A lot more fluid, faster, and horrible in run support. He looks and plays much smaller on video than his listed size, which maybe is less of a concern for a CB, but not great either.

Youtube videos obviously don't let you see most of the downfield play, but if he's really a great cover guy then it would be a pick that makes a lot of sense. CB, WR, and OL are the 3 biggest needs though this roster needs talent everywhere except edge rush.

He is definitely a beast in man coverage. His play doesn't suit us but i can see why teams in top 10 would want him
I hope this is true. Henderson before 13. I think Love will go before 13 as well. Should give us alot of options at 13, including moving back.

If you're taking a CB early he's gotta be a beast in man coverage. I like Fulton a lot as well

He looked damn good against Bama. Might like him more than Henderson, but Henderson has that extra speed.

Agreed.
I've been saying there is a big gap from Henderson to the #3 guy and have read a lot of people who actually like Henderson as CB1. He had some hiccups early this season, but coming out of last season, I thought he was a top 10 pick for sure.

Fulton aint too far behind Henderson. In fact for us, I'd rather Fulton. But after Fulton I agree that the gap to #4 is big

I'd say the gap between Henderson and Fulton is sizable. I'm not even sold on Fulton as #3
