Even after adding Josh Norman this offseason, the Washington Redskins should consider adding even more help in their secondary this coming offseason. This draft class is loaded with defensive backs, and there’s one safety that could be a great fit with Washington.

Ohio State’s Malik Hooker is a turnover machine for the Buckeyes. The safety does a great job of reading quarterbacks’ eyes and has the ball skills to make great plays and jump routes. He also has the speed and instincts to cover the field sideline to sideline.

The big concern with Hooker is that he can sometimes bite on the play-action fake. That can be a huge problem for a safety who tends to play deep.

Still, with his vision and speed to jump in front of passes, he could be a great safety that could compliment Norman’s skill set very well.
