Taylor Rapp, S, Washington

Taylor Rapp is one of the best safeties coming out of college. Rapp has the potential to be selected as high as 25th to the Philadelphia Eagles but could fall.

There are many good safeties in this class, but none as good as Rapp in coverage. Rapp gave up eight catches on 18 targets, for a mere 53 yards this past season, while also intercepting one pass, and breaking up four more.

Taylor Rapp played in a system that reflects Paul Guenther’s scheme. Guenther plays a two safety split look, which is what Washington plays. If the Raiders are unsure of Karl Joseph and Joyner being the full time starting safeties, then Rapp should be drafted.
