Brandon Washington to Eagles: Video Highlights, Scouting Report and Analysis

Brandon Washington is one of the most versatile offensive linemen in the draft, having played almost every position on the line at Miami except center.

Washington worked extremely hard to get himself an opportunity at Miami, and he made good on his chance, starting every game in the last two seasons for the Hurricanes. He played both guard and tackle during that time, although he will likely move inside to guard full time in the NFL.

Even though Washington had to spend additional time getting his grades in order, his football IQ is top notch (which could be why he was able to seamlessly move from position to position). Further proof of Washington's mental fortitude is proven in the fact that he only committed eight penalties in almost 2,000 career snaps at Miami.

Frank Cooney of the Sports Xchange sees Washington this way:

"

He has improved each year and is a brutal blocker on runs, but still needs work to recognize variables presented by various alignments and pass-rush techniques.

"

Washington saw a fair amount of talent on the defensive line in the ACC, but perhaps nothing (besides Quinton Coples) that might have thoroughly prepared him for immediate success in the NFL. However, scouts may see a lot of Orlando Franklin (a fellow Miami alum who played in Denver last season) in Washington, which bodes well for his ability to grow into a starter.

Pick Analysis

Washington isn't ready to step in and start for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he's got terrific potential to get there eventually. The Miami product is a hard worker who demonstrated above-average versatility and a good football IQ in college. In other words, he's got the tools necessary to improve with experience and time, and he gives the Eagles good depth along the line in the meantime.
