58. Scouting Report. S. Florida State. player. Pick Analysis. Derwin James. 13
Despite struggles by Florida State, especially on the defensive side of the ball this past year, Derwin James still produced.
The 6-3, 200-pounder can play either spot in the defensive backfield, though his future appears to be a safety.
James recorded 84 tackles, including 5.5 for loss, with two picks this past year. He played in just two games in 2016 due to injury, but shined as a freshman when he earned top honors after a 91-tackle season that included 9.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.
Landing a defensive superstar should help the Redskins contend with the likes of Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott moving forward in the NFC.
