Karl Joseph makes sense for the Redskins, but trading back is smarter

West Virginia safety Karl Joseph makes sense for the Washington Redskins, who haven't drafted a safety before the fourth round since LaRon Landry in 2007. That's why I picked Joseph in the NFL Nation mock draft. Thing is, that’s not where I think he ends up.

The reality for the Redskins when it came to our mock draft is this: My top choice was unavailable. So I went with a guy who would fit a need, who fits the description of players they want to add to their roster. I went with Joseph.

Actually, my top choice was trading back.
