It would be a stunner if he’s not the first DB chosen. He finished his career with 11 interceptions and 17 pass breakups.
CB Vontae Davis Illinois 5-11 203
He might sneak into the bottom of the first round, but there are questions about his size despite 21 career interceptions.
S Louis Delmas W. Michigan 5-11 194
With 11 career interceptions, he could be the only safety to go in the first round because he can cover running backs and tight ends.
CB Darius Butler Connecticut 5-10 183
A four-year starter for the Huskies is physical in the mold of Green Bay’s Al Harris. He’s probably a second-round pick.
Redskins analysis
A year after drafting a cornerback and two safeties, the Redskins would seem unlikely to go this route because five corners and five safeties are already on the roster. A possibility could be a cornerback who falls deep into the second day.
