What’s early to you? 1st? I haven’t seen a single mock with Washington in the first. I’d be good with him at 52 (think he goes Early 2nd).

A month ago Washington and Ridley were the only 2 WRS being talked about in round 1. Yes Round 1 is too early.

I don't like Washington at all. Not as WR, he is too stiff. At the NFL level he will not out run defenders like college. There is not much to his game unless he gets past you. He does not create separation and doesn't have that quick twitch hips.

I think he is the biggest question mark

I think you need to re-watch him.

He consistently created separation and BPR already posted his route tree numbers. People keep saying he just ran 9's and ran by the defender. The statistics of his routes certainly don't support that.

I think he's a top of round 2 guy and is going to carve out a role early, but I don't thikn his ceiling is very high.

He even seems like a willing blocker. He seems fine against press here’s his va tech film.

Press is his strength though. Off man will be harder for him I think. I don't like the way he looks and runs routes like a running back. He doesnt look fluid IMO

It is interesting to me that there are so many differing opinions on the WR position. I've seen these names mentioned : Ridley, Sutton, Washington, DJ Moore, Kirk, Miller, along with Cain, Pettis, Gallup, Chark, Hamilton and more. No matter which ones you prefer, if the Ravens don't come away with one or two, I will be sorely disappointed... Bc

WNCR, there have been years when WRs were there for the taking, but we passed on them. Now I'm not saying they all went on to productive careers, but if you don't attempt to draft and develop a young WR then your passing game is doomed to failure. Just look at last year as a for instance... Bc

He’s a willing blocker too

Need to triple-dip at WR.

I agree with you on this. Not a fan of Washington at all. Wouldn't touch him until the third.
