Late in the draft, teams love taking flyers on guys with one positive attribute or another, yet have a major flaw. For the three defensive backs taken, two by the Redskins, early in the seventh round, it’s clear there’s a run on light, speedy players who could be used as nickel backs down the road. The Redskins took SMU DB Richard Crawford and Iowa CB Jordan Bernstine to try to shore up their pass defense.
