Washington drafted DB Benjamin St-Juste with the 74th overall pick, in the third round of this weekend’s draft.
St-Juste, who will turn 24 years old near the start of his rookie season in the NFL, is a long-bodied cornerback who shows promise as both a boundary corner and, potentially, as a free safety. He has all of the extension skills and length that coaches look for, though he doesn’t possess great quickness or speed, which may be reasons for him to focus on the safety position as a pro. He will come to camp as a prospect who offers some of the “uncoachables” that doubtless led the Washington front office to draft him with their initial third-round pick.
