They have shown the past few seasons that they want to have a bigger guy than Mixon who can churn out short yardage, catch passes, and block.
I don't see Mixon as being able to take on that role.
On the other hand, Washington fits the Bengals offense to a T, especially if they want to "eat more glass" at the LOS.
I don't personally see Washington being any worse in the pass game than the likes of Hurst, who was a late 1st rounder himself back in 2018 (25th overall).
But you're also getting a fantastic blocker, which IMO is an upgrade over Hurst in that area.
Hurst was a much better blocker than I thought he would be here, but yeah, DW might be the best blocking TE to ever come out.
That is how dominant he is in this aspect of his game.
