James Washington (WR, PIT) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall

CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)

ANALYSIS: Washington sneakily showed some promise last season as Pittsburgh's deep threat as the year progressed. With three-straight 1,000-yard seasons at Oklahoma State, many thought Washington was on the path to being considered a bust before he started flashing some of his talents in 2019.

He saw a big increase in targets compared to his rookie season which allowed him to catch 44 passes for 735 yards and three touchdowns. If he didn’t have to deal with the erratic quarterback play from Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges, he might have been able to have a more significant breakout. Washington finished the last six weeks of the season with four games of 100 air yards or more. Once he started to get more run with the offense, he was used more as a deep option in the team’s passing attack which allowed him to see a 15.4 average depth per target. If a wide receiver is consistently seeing deep targets, then the odds increase that he’s going to eventually blow up the box score.

Entering his third year as a pro, PFF has Washington repeating his 2019 numbers in Pittsburgh, projecting him to around 115+ PPR points on the year by catching near 40 passes for 575 yards and 3 TDs. The upside could be higher, though, considering he'll play under a healthy Ben Roethlisberger this season. At his current price tag of WR78 there is nothing to lose in throwing a last-round pick toward Washington.
