Washington Football Team: Comparing our mock draft to the actual picks
Rounds 3-4
Round 3
Mock Prediction: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Wide Receiver, Southern California
Mock Prediction: Tommy Tremble, Tight End, Notre Dame
Draft Selection: Benjamin St-Juste, Cornerback, Minnesota
Draft Selection: Dyami Brown, Wide Receiver, North Carolina
Almost no one expected the Washington Football Team would select a cornerback in this round, but one was taken with the 74th pick. Benjamin St-Juste is a total miss for me and while the idea of taking a tight end seemed inevitable, that didn’t come to fruition.
Washington did select a wide receiver and that is a decent hit. When looking at both receivers, there is a difference between St. Brown and Dyami Brown. St. Brown is more of a possession receiver and Brown is a downfield burner who will open up the offense for other receivers.
Grade: C-
Round 4
Mock Prediction: Rhamondre Stevenson, Running Back, Oklahoma
Draft Selection: John Bates, Tight End, Boise St.
The tight end position was addressed on day three with the selection of John Bates – a round later than what I was expecting. Also, the mock draft featured a talented running back that I thought would be there in this round for Washington. This is a complete and total miss.
Grade: F
