Edit: A little draft Tidbit Look for Darnell Washington from Georgia in the second round. One of the best blocking tight ends I've ever seen in college.. athletic and built like a OT.
We all knew Hurst wasn't going to be the best run blocker, this is no surprise. Still, I have also seen him make a few good
blocks that did surprise me so he can improve in this aspect. Can Washington catch the ball and run routes? If so, I would
take a look at him in the 2nd, but if not, I wouldn't. Need a TE that is a threat catching the ball if we draft one early.
Will have to watch Darnell Washington next time I watch Georgia play.
