Louis Riddick is pretty sharp. And Jalen Ramsey is considered a certain top-10 pick, which doesn’t happen often for defensive backs.

In fact, in the past five drafts, only six defensive backs — and five cornerbacks — went in the top 10. Those six: Patrick Peterson, Mo Claiborne, Mark Barron, Stephon Gilmore, Dee Milliner and Justin Gilbert. Gilmore and especially Peterson have been good pros. Barron has already changed teams. Claiborne and Gilbert have tested the patience of their teams. You find far better stories in the defensive backfield in the middle and later rounds.
