Round 7: Texas Tech DT Broderick Washington Jr.
Voted team captain for the Red Raiders in back-to-back seasons, Washington is the type of player you look for late in the draft. He’s a little undersized and doesn’t have the greatest length, but you can’t measure the heart and technical precision this kid plays with.
He’s really good with his footwork and controlling offensive linemen down the line of scrimmage. He sheds blockers with relative ease, which makes for some serious disruption in the run game. He also has great closing burst when finishing off tackles and sacks.
Washington had an informal meeting with the Chiefs at the combine and was a teammate of QB Patrick Mahomes.
