Washington Football Team 7-round mock draft after strong free agency
By Pablo Rosero
Scouting Report. S. player. 851. Pick Analysis. Texas. Caden Sterns. 4
Adding secondary help could benefit the Washington Football Team on the defensive side of the ball and on special teams. Caden Sterns was a great player for the Texas Longhorns his freshman and sophomore seasons but fell off a bit his junior and senior seasons.
At 5-foot-11, 202-pounds Sterns, a former five-star prospect, has the size that teams like to see at the safety position. Sterns has also gained momentum as teams clearly view him as having potential that made him a top high school recruit and freshman starter. Worst case scenario, his potential isn’t fully realized and he caps out as a solid special team player, or best case scenario he becomes a star safety to pair with Kamren Curl.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 5. player. CB. Washington. Keith Taylor. 818
The University of Washington has produced defensive backs that have made an impact in the NFL for a few seasons now. Among them are Marcus Peters, Sydney Jones, Taylor Rapp, Bubba Baker, Byron Murphy, Kevin King, and a few more so it is clear they are doing something right in Seattle. Elijah Molden is the corner to go after early in the draft, but Keith Taylor offers value at this point in the draft.
Even though Taylor had zero picks in his college career, that does not mean he didn’t make an impact. In four years Taylor had 10 pass deflections and at 6-foot-3 he is a bigger than usual corner.
Ron Rivera has a knack for developing high-upside corners, Josh Norman and James Bradberry, and Taylor could be the next to join the list.
