Defensive Backs
Winners
(Southern Illinois)
He simply broke the Combine for defensive backs. His 4.45-second 40-yard dash was among the tops at his position, while his 41-inch vertical and 131-inch broad jump (third all-time among safeties) were both top-two among all defensive backs. Chinn may not have played at a high-profile school, but after the Combine, he’s a high-profile prospect.
Not Jeremy Chinn but Adam Schefter tweeted this out:

I hope Chinn is the first safety off the board. Good for him and great pub for SIU.
I can't find the link now, but I was looking at a draft prediction about 1-week ago for the first two rounds. Jeremy was not on that list. The last guy (#64) was the S Kyle Dugger from Lenoir-Rhyne.
A local Cincy paper and a couple of work friends who claim to "know someone who knows someone who works for the Bengals", says Chinn is on high on their list. Could even be their 2nd round choice. IMO, I think theys will draft an LB or DL with their 2nd round pick or an OL.
Go Dawgs!
Worst case is he goes 2nd Rd, I'd for the Bears to snag him in 2nd.
Kid is a stud.
ESPN just published an article with odds of 2020 draft picks becoming a Pro Bowl caliber player. Jeremy Chinn is the 9th highest ranked player with a 45% of being a Pro Bowler and 80% chance of being a starting caliber player.
ESPN's Mel Kiper has Chinn going to the Falcons in the 2nd round in his latest mock draft
50. Jeremy Chinn, S, Southern Illinois, 6-3, 221 (4.45)
It's hard to ignore Chinn's versatility and athleticism as he lined up all over the formation. He doesn't always take the best angle, but he will be able to run with tight ends and should be able to play out of the slot.
The Athletic rated him #43 out of their top 300 draft prospects this morning. Concerns about his coverage reads was the main downside.
