Miami OG, was rated in the 2nd round
QuoteBrandon Washington, OG, Miami
Washington is leaving early for the NFL after his junior year at Miami, but he already has two full seasons as a starter under his belt. After making one start as a freshman in 2009, Washington started all 25 games over his next two campaigns. He was called for just three penalties in all of 2011 while anchoring the offensive line for what was a decent (but unspectacular) Miami offense. The team allowed only 19 sacks and the offense finished sixth in the ACC in rushing at 145.7 yards per game.
Washington has great size at 6'4'' and 320 pounds. The Miami, FL native generally runs around a 5.3 in the 40-yard dash and he has been clocked as fast as 5.18 from that distance. He has experience at both guard and tackle, but is expected to play guard at the next level. Washington is a stellar athlete by guard standards, but he probably is not quick enough to play tackle in the NFL--at least not in protecting the quarterback's blind side. He sometimes relies too much on athleticism and lacks the tactical fundamentals, often times getting sloppy with his hands. Washington should be a real force in the running game, and he will likely be a second or third-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

know he was on Kiper's 10 best available for day 3, but nothing besides that.
I like this guy because there is a little known "One Brandon" rule that means Brandon Graham will now be cut.
this is a great pick in the 6h round
hes better than danny watkins RIGHT NOW and has a pretty high ceiling
supposedly his footwork needs quite a bit of work....but i dont know enough about that to say why

I honestly don't know but have to assume that his skin is dark.
yeah but that doesnt matter at guard....in fact i might prefer my guards to be corn fed whiteys...but not hockey playing firemen who take up football at the age of 23
If he has a high ceiling, I like Mudd to get him close to it.
lol at igy saying he's better than the Fireman right now. Took a nap in the hyperbolic chamber this afternoon, eh?
Anyways we should pump the brakes a bit. Why? Because Chris Steuber is on this dude
