NFL Mock Draft 2018: Complete first round after Week 4
52. . Wide Receiver. Oklahoma State. James Washington. 10. player
The Jacksonville Jaguars have gotten off to a surprising start this year. Many left former UCF quarterback Blake Bortles for dead before his huge performance against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, resulting in a 44-7 victory.
If Bortles ends up being the quarterback that the Jags build around, they need to give him some receivers to work with. They already gave him a Pro Bowl caliber running back in Leonard Fournette.
Oklahoma State’s senior wide receiver James Washington is a potential All-American this year, and his numbers support that. Washington has already caught 19 passes for 520 yards and four touchdowns through four games.
What Washington gives NFL teams that other receivers will not is his ability to take the top off a defense. He’s a man among boys when it comes to catching the deep ball. He makes it look so easy that NFL teams will be ready to get him in the top 15, if not the top 10.
