Prospects Comments
NFL - Washington is a top-heavy receiver with dangerous build-up speed who has a three year history of hitting chunk plays thanks to his speed and ball tracking. Washington is more gradual than sudden with check marks in the vertical categories but minuses in categories like route running and hands. Washington has the potential to compete as a WR2 for a team looking to stretch the field. His limitations and dependence upon his quarterback's deep ball accuracy makes the chasm between his ceiling and floor a little wider.
Steve Smith: A top dog at Oklahoma State, Washington took the Batman role in the offense. The 6-foot, 205-pound receiver is a pure hands catcher and uses his strong physique to finish defenders. He's aware of the sideline and has a great resume coming out of college. Check out the 2016 Alamo Bowl, when Washington repeatedly beat Chidobe Awuzie, who started six games for the Dallas Cowboys this past season. The only knock I have is he can be too stiff at times. I'm curious to see how Washington performs with some of the upper-echelon quarterbacks of this class throwing to him at the combine. The ball was often late, overthrown or thrown behind him at Oklahoma State, so I want to see how he does with good ball placement.
CBS - Amazing movement ability and suddeness for a 6-foot-5 wideout. Often made highlight-reel catches at Florida State. Production was limited mainly due to below-average quarterback play in 2017. Possesses all the components to be a No. 1 wideout on the outside

DLF - PROJECTED RANGE FOR A ROOKIE DRAFT DLF’s latest version of rookie ADP had Washington as the WR6, number 14 overall. He is in an ADP cohort of wide receivers that includes Calvin Ridley, Courtland Sutton, Christian Kirk, Michael Gallup, Washington, Anthony Miller, and Dante Pettis that ranges from WR2-8. This class is very deep with no real answers on who is going to have the greatest impact. I would be buying Washington at his current ADP as I have him as my personal WR4, a late first-round selection. It’s plausible that Washington will be scattered around in rookie drafts, as high as a mid-first and as low as a mid-second. Since no one can seem to come to a consensus on WR rankings, the safest route would be to trade into the 1.10-1.12 range to almost guarantee a shot at him.
