3 93 Darnell Washington TE

[Steelafan77]

I love it.

Not bad dropping 13 spots and picking up a 4th….

[Smashmouth21]

I could not be happier. This is an A+++ draft.

Edit: Yes I know we cannot grade this draft for at least 3 years and my previous favorite draft was 2008 so yeah…

[stairway 2 seven]

Holy shit didn't see that coming at all!

[Charles Demarr]

Absolutely killing this draft.

[Pabst]

I would have been livid with this pick at 17 or 32. 93? A-OK

[Steelafan77]

Hands down from a value perspective best pick of the draft IMO…

[955876]

I like it too.

[Steelperch]

We’re gonna need super sized Jizz Mop in here for when STD arrives.

[Stosh-67]

Nice change in grabbing talent that dropped in JPJ and Darnell....
As opposed to reaching..
Bush. Edmunds.

[Smashmouth21]

I know. Felt like bizzaro world to say I’m in 100% agreement with him on this.

[gojira5150]

Finally a good pick. Best pick of the draft for the Steelers so far. About time. This dude will be a Beast.

[Steelafan77]

Washington recorded a 4.08-second short shuttle at the combine?

That is 3rd quickest by a tight end over 260 pounds since 2003.

[Stosh-67]

Double TE sets with two guys that can hurt you in passing game.... Will add alot of run or pass options out of those sets

And he's 6'7. He's not fat either. This dude will help this offense Tremendously. 2 TE sets will be killer

[Stosh-67]

Let's hope Simpson, overshown and Henley are three ILBs that will be trying to catch up to and getting burned by DW

[Steelafan77]

Comparison is Darren Fells….?.

I thought he was much closer to:

Mercedes Lewis

Needs to turn into a Redzone weapon...
6'-7" athlete who can wall off a guy on his back

[Gonzo]

I haven’t said this in a long time
Fantastic draft so far IMHO
Maybe was time for Colbert to go

Lewis is his floor.

He referred to himself as the 6th lineman in college….checks all the boxes here.

Opinionated, but I prefer the Lewis comparison over fells….

Run jet sweeps and throw short of the sticks on 3rd downs?

[Steeldrama]

Flown back into Pitt for medical recheck on knee he previously had surgery on
Cartilage issue
Still worth the gamble late rd 3

Yes Matt. Everyone knows…

He's the Steelers fastest TE and the heaviest.

[Smashmouth21]

If that knee is right Washington is such a steal.

[DP39]

LOVE this pick! I've been banging the table for him longer than STD. I think he got the idea from me -- and he just yells louder and way, way more often.

I've seen everyone of his college snaps (my daughter goes to UGA) and many live.

If/when completely healthy he's a major mismatch receiving AND blocking!

He brings a crazy combination. Biggest and fastest. His knee is suspect but if healthy, he’s going to fit in well — especially as a blocker.

[punum123]

Dude can block - Najee with a woody this evening! Nice pick.

[steelmann58]

This is a very solid pick love getting him here and this total match up issue.
