The Chiefs Select Ohio St. CB Donald Washington in the Fourth Round

in 2009 Draft
315 comments
With the 102nd pick and the second pick of the fourth round, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Ohio St. CB Donald Washington.
The 13th overall cornerback according to NFL Draft Scout, the selection of Washington follows the 2008 selections of CBs Brandon Flowers (2nd round) and Brandon Carr (5th round). Washington started opposite Malcolm Jenkins, who was drafted 14th overall this year by the Saints.
Here's more on Washington from NFL Draft Scout:
In a perfect world, Washington would be the featured player on the Buckeyes' defensive unit in 2009 rather than vying for a roster spot in the National Football League. Regarded as one of the best pure athletes ever recruited by coach Jim Tressel, off-field issues and problems with the coaching staff, along with inconsistent play, prevented the talented athlete from realizing his potential.
Washington greatly improved his draft outlook with a sensational performance at the NFL Combine and in post-combine workouts. His 11-foot, 3-inch broad jump, 45-inch vertical jump and 6.84 three-cone drills certainly opened the eyes of league personnel in attendance during those performances.
Yet, his career never matched his athletic talent. There were flashes of brilliance, including 100 yards gained on three fumble recoveries and 104 yards gained on two interception returns. But in 37 games that included 24 starts, his great leaping ability was rarely on display, as he managed to deflect just four passes.
It appears that Washington is a man in need of polishing his skills, more of a raw talent than a complete football player.
Interesting pick by Pioli and Haley, considering I'd say cornerback is one of this team's few strengths.
Here's some more on Washington:
Positives: Good height and build for the position. ... Legitimate NFL athlete. ... Good straight-line speed. ... Low backpedal and smooth transition to run with receivers. ... A bit choppy out of his breaks, but accelerates quickly. ... Closes on the ball quickly. ... Flashes the ability to pop the defender and is generally a reliable wrap-up tackler. ... Good vision. ... Reads the field well with the ball in his hands and has averaged 40.8 yards on his five turnover returns, including one 70-yard interception return for a touchdown. ... Straight-line speed and vision as a runner could translate well as a kick returner.
Negatives: Enters the NFL as a better raw athlete than football player. ... Relies on his athleticism. ... Gives receivers a big cushion and seems content with making the tackle rather than going for the interception. ... Too often allows passes into his chest and lacks natural hands for the interception. ... Plays with bit of a cover corner mentality and doesn't get very involved in run support. ... Finished the 2008 season with only five assisted tackles. ... Suspended for the first two games of the 2008 season due to a violation of team rules.
His suspension for a violation of team rules runs contrary to the high character reports of the Chiefs' first two picks, Tyson Jackson and Alex Magee.
Welcome Donald Washington!

Kick returner until he learns CB more effectively

Returner??
A returner that runs a 4.53??? I don’t think so
This was a horrible pick, Ingram TE – Florida or te OG from Oklahoma would have been alot better

by KCSatchmo on Apr 26, 2009 11:41 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Carr fits better than Flowers
Flowers dropped last year because of height but the cover 2 usually has short corners so it was not a problem. Now it may be Flowers that has trouble in the new system that usually has a little more bump and run coverage.

And many think Donald Washington would be a 1st rounder if he came back to refine his game, and since we have some good CBs we won’t need to force him into anything. good pick

I guess we won't be selecting a WR.
I really wanted Mike Wallace, but we need o-line help more. I really hope we take Holtzclaw in the 6th. As for the 5th, RT is fine with me. If this draft is purely defense, it will leave me scratching my head. We’re looking pretty stacked on D at the moment.

I really want Holtzclaw in the 6th.
I had never heard of Holtzclaw before this site published an article. I loved what I read and decided to do more research. One of my friends attends a rival school of Holtzclaw’s—he says Holtzclaw is a man amongst boys. Sure, he comes from a small school, but does Jared Allen ring a bell? The guy has a winning attitude and is a playmaker to boot. He’s worth it.

This pick feels sort of Colt Griffin-y
Hopefully, Pioli et al know what they’re doing here, but I can’t wrap my head around why they’d gamble on a player in a position where we seem to have semi-decent players already.
I’d feel much better if they had taken a gamble on a troubled WR instead.

Being an Ohio State fan, and watching him over the last few years, I can tell you that this kid is a player! With this addition we can free up flowers to cover the quick slot receivers in a 3 wide receiver set and have two large corners on the outside. I am loving the way the defense is looking already!

He never really did any returning at the college level, but when he has picked up a fumble or had an int, he has shown good field vision and open field speed. With his athletic ability I could see a big upside in the return game.

Hey guys I was looking at qb rankings, Graham looks like he wouold be a late round or FA signing that could fit in very similar to Brady or Warner. I could see us signing him possibly, what do you guys think?

Great pick for Buffalo. I thought they should have taken Pettigrew in the first round, but Nelson is nearly as good in nearly every way, and in the 4th round that’s fantastic value.
