Washington is an outstanding talent and while being the best blocking TE in the draft he is also a freak athlete and a natural pass catcher. The kid has not even realized how big a threat he can be for an offense. Taking this young man at #28 is not a reach for a player who's concensus ranking is #30.
Washington is not good value at #28, IMO. He is a block only TE today. He is a freak athlete only in shorts unless he is blocking, he does ok with the ball in his hands. He has no route tree and when he does go out for passes he runs like Frankenstein. He is not smooth whatsoever. I'd like to have him for his blocking and to watch his development, but Im not for drafting a project in the 1st Rd.
I would be surprised if he is taken in the 1st Rd.
