TAUREAN

NIXON

Taurean Nixon, our 266th ranked cornerback, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the San Francisco 49ers because they could use a player of this quality after losing Anthony Brown for an extended period of time. The 49ers currently have 4 healthy cornerbacks, and none are rated better than Nixon.

The 49ers currently have no cornerbacks under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Nixon may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
