Young to Washington!

[top dawg]

That's got a nice ring to it, eh? I gave the joke away with the tag. 

We've met with Malik Washington twice. Any UVA alums want to give us an opinion? ACC fans?

Guess his favorite receiver...

Well, I know people are going to complain, but I gotta say it: He got that dawg in him...

He looks like a promising prospect. There are concerns about blocking and press coverage, but I can't tell if it's due to his actual play or perceived limitations due to his size. He projects as a slot guy right now. He'd be a day three steal according to PFN. Of course the later you can get him, the more value he'll probably provide. He won't go early, due to size, but he's not exactly diminutive at 5'8" and 190 pounds. That's solid, but it may mean that the slot is his ceiling nonetheless. It will be interesting to see his forty time.

That third highlight (after the three clips in the opening at 45 seconds), I think he may have given the kid a concussion. Did you see the kid grab his head?

Now I am disappointed we didn’t trade Bryce to the “Commanders” for their 1st

I hate the title.

Wouldnt like it at 33, but I would like him later.

The topic name would be considered cruel and unusual punishment in some countries.  I was coming in ready to declare Dan Morgan the greatest GM in our history.

He’s rated as 80th best player in draft.  He’s a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder.  He’s 5’8 strictly slot WR in NFL.  He’s quick, physical with good first step and decent route runner but not blazing speed.  He’ll be perfect for Bryce because he gets a lot of yards after contact.  The only issue is Bryce might not see him over the line.

I didn't even think of this, and before last season would've brushed it off, but the thought makes me less enthusiastic. For real.

Panthers need to revamp their offense to old school west coast offense with Young under center with deep drop backs and rollouts.  Can’t have him snap the ball in shotgun and stay like a statue there, waiting for him to be able to see over the line.

Just edit it by adding "Malik"

Apparently Young is no longer something we can joke about. I get it.

I'm skeptical about Young playing under center. Talking about not seeing Washington over the line, Young may not see a lot of people over the line. This may lead to missed reads and some INTs. But, I am not the most objective person in regards to Young.

I am not the most "subjective" was a Freudian slip

I meant as a mod I hate the title. Means people will be reporting it like they do half of @TheSpecialJuan threads.

Other than that I've got no issues. I think it would actually work out and I don't think the height issue is what people make it out to be

Yeah, but what about two 5'8" guys playing in the forest? It's an issue for me, I'm not gonna lie. But, again, I've lost my objectivity about Bryce. Every post of mine on the kid has to be taken with a grain of salt.

[Shocker]

Got me with that one.  Do like Washington
