FYI.

In Adolphus Washington and Cedric Thornton graded as the worst DTs in the NFL in 2017.

Washington plays both the 3- and 1-technique. He’s most effective at the 3, where he can operate in more space and trail runs from the backside with solid pursuit ability. However, the 23-year-old lacks the functional strength, pad level and hand usage to be anything more than a backup. He struggles to generate push as a pass-rusher, his feet stop on contact and he gives up his chest too often. His head gets too far in front of his feet in his pass rush, making him susceptible to offensive linemen swiping down on his hands, which causes him to lose balance. Washington tends to move his body toward the ball rather than shed with his hands, which allows most offensive linemen to easily control him. He’s marginal against double-teams, as he’s unable to keep his feet on the ground once the secondary block hits.

Without recognizing the name or knowing his position or having any clue about the scouting report, I think its safe to say this player sucks and the move is an indictment of our Front Office. What a clown show.

It's always easy to make up whatever conclusion you want if you don't want to be bothered by pesky things like facts and details.

SO, we need a WR!! and we get a ....DT?
We NEED a seasoned TE, and we get a ....DT? Lord I can only hope they decide we need a towel boy and they replace garrett...:)
Why in the world would we need a WR? We can always use a DT. Sure a TE would be nice, but let's see how our guys develop over the course of the season.

Sounds like Buffalo loved him.

The former Ohio State defender is wildly ineffective, whether he’s rushing the passer or attempting to anchor against the run. On the seldom occasion that he does beat his man and get into the backfield, Washington often fails to process his next move quick enough and finds himself out of the play entirely.
