Cavaliers . Bryce Hall. 3. player. 888. . Cornerback

There was a time when Bryce Hall was considered a potential first-round pick. But an injury during his senior season cost him his chance to become that.

Still, Hall could be a good value for the Redskins here. He’s a solid cover man with good size and physicality. He’s not the fastest guy in the world, but he should be able to bother opposing receivers with his physical play and his length will may it hard to complete passes against him.

Hall was compared by NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein to former Panthers second-round draft pick James Bradberry. Here’s what Zierlein said about Hall in that report.

"Angular outside corner who uses instinctive footwork and long arms to close out and challenge a healthy percentage of throws. His backpedal and transitions are more functional than fluid and could be exploited by NFL route-runners and speedsters. His reactive quickness and ball skills fit nicely into zone-based coverages, allowing greater freedom to spy quarterbacks and squeeze short and intermediate throws. He can handle man coverage, but he needs protection over the top. Hall is a future starting cornerback but might garner attention at free safety at some point in his career."

That sounds pretty good. He’s got a shot at being a starter and at the very least, he’d be good competition for Fabian Moreau and Jimmy Moreland for the spot across from Ronald Darby. And if Hall pans out, he could be a rock-solid No. 2 option or even a good 1B like Bradberry.

One of the biggest questions about Hall is the health of his ankle. That may cause him to slide further than the No. 108 pick, as players weren’t all able to get rechecks amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But the ‘Skins should still consider him here and given that they chose another injured, falling Bryce in Round 4 last year (Bryce Love), Hall might be worth a shot here.
