Redskins add depth to secondary with Fabian Moreau

The Washington Redskins have selected cornerback Fabian Moreau out of UCLA in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Moreau was projected by some to be a first-round pick before tearing his pectoral during UCLA's Pro Day. He is reportedly expected to be ready before the season opener.

Alongside Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland, Moreau could help form one of the most dangerous cornerback trios in the NFL.
