Washington gets a top five talent at No. 13. His inconsistency at Florida State will scare some teams off, but Dan Snyder will take a chance on him.

Derwin James is a mix of Eric Berry and Jamal Adams. He is a physical safety that will play the run as well as he plays the pass. The tandem of Josh Norman and Derwin James will be fun to watch in Washington.

He will be compared to Sean Taylor often and I believe it is fair. He will be a big-time hitter and make a ton of plays in the stacked NFC East. (Justin)

Previous Pick: Denzel Ward

49. . Cornerback. Iowa. Josh Jackson. 14. player

I have had this pick for the Packers for weeks and I continue that trend here. The team could take Minkah Fitzpatrick here since he is on the board, but I think they address their corner need before they take a swing at safety.

Over the past several weeks I have talked about Jackson’s ball skills and recovery speed to match up with some big-time receivers. With quick receivers like Golden Tate and Stefon Diggs in the division, Johnson can stick on the hips of those two guys and make plays. However he has decent enough size and great hands to match up against players like Allen Robinson and Adam Thielen. (Stephen)

Previous Pick: Unchanged

player. 32. . Safety/Corner. Alabama. Minkah Fitzpatrick. 15

Getting a player like Fitzpatrick at pick 15 would offer great value. The Cardinals just cut ties with Tyrann Mathieu, so there is a huge hole currently at the safety position. Not only does he fit a position of need, he is the best player available. That is important because their roster, other than David Johnson, isn’t filled with young talented players.

He will get to learn from Patrick Peterson and become an impactful starter from Week 1 going forward. (Justin)

Previous Pick: Lamar Jackson
