Sauce Gardner, Tariq Woolen and Aidan Hutchinson headline my selections Kevin Patra nfl.com
CB Tariq Woolen Seattle Seahawks · Texas-San Antonio

DRAFTED: Round 5, No. 153 overall

To call Woolen a steal would be an understatement. The fifth-round pick is a ballhawk, netting six interceptions, tied for the NFL lead, with 16 passes defended.

The 6-4 corner possesses the size and length to lock up wideouts. Perhaps more impressive is his closing speed with the ball in the air. Quarterbacks think they have a window, and Woolen slams it shut.

A perfect fit in Seattle's defense, the rookie allowed just a 49.8 passer rating against, the lowest among all corners with least 200 coverage snaps, per Next Gen Stats

Yep, phenomenal draft pick, especially in the 5th round. Sauce is also damn good, but as a 1st round pick, he better be.
