The Arizona Cardinals select OLB Daryl Washington in the second round

The Cardinals have selected OLB Daryl Washington out of TCU with the 47th overall pick (2nd round) in the NFL Draft.  Washington is a tad small at 6’1″, 226 but he makes up for his lack of size with his athletic ability.  Washington is very fast and he has a non stop motor.  He can cover RBs and TE out of the backfield on passes and he gets into the opposing backfield quite often on blitzes.  Washington played in 13 games (all starts) for the Horned Frogs last season in which he made 109 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, he had 2 sacks, broke up 1 pass and he had 3 interceptions.  In Washington’s four years at TCU he played in 50 games (15 starts) in which he had 222 tackles, 20.5 tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, he broke up 6 passes and he had 4 interceptions.  Washington played a lot of inside linebacker in college but because of his size he projects to the outside in the NFL.  I really like this pick for the Cardinals as Washington should be able to help the defense and special teams right away for them.
