DE and Washington ...
I don't know that Washington will test well, and right now he's slated to go in round 2 or 3, which to me is crazy. So maybe he lasts far enough for us to trade up with our early 3rd rounder. Again, this is crazy to me, he's a first round #1 WR talent that is a true deep threat because of his body control and hands. Watching him last year I assumed he'd be a top ten guy from the get go ... but he's being kept a secret for whatever reason. I'd take him on a deep ball over anyone in the NFL minus AJ Green.
But there will be a DE worth more than him at 37. Bummer, just true. We have to keep an edge presence to ensure that Donald cannot be contained. We will have a shot at a guy like Walker, or Lawson, or Smoot, or Charleton ... we have to take the best, because they are guaranteed sacks. The talent level is too high. Note, with those guys ... they are all seniors and complete players. The junior freaks, Barnett and Garrett will go much earlier along with the Alabama kids. Solomon Thomas from Stanford is also an option.
