With the No. 22 pick in the 2016 NFL draft, Washington selects TCU wide receiver Josh Doctson. 

Pete Prisco gave Washington an A- grade for the pick: “They have expiring contracts at the position and they get the best receiver."

Not many people had penciled in Washington for a wide receiver in the first round, but that's where they went after swapping the No. 21 pick to Houston in exchange for No. 22 and a sixth-rounder. Doctson joins a wide receiver corps that already includes deep threat DeSean Jackson and possession guy Pierre Garcon. Add that to Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis at tight end, and Kirk Cousins has quite the crew of weapons to spread the ball around to. And when you factor in the fact that Jackson and Garcon both have contracts that expire at the end of the season (Jackson has an unguaranteed $1.25 million due to him in 2017), this is a pick that makes sense, even if it wasn't necessarily expected coming into tonight.

Doctson started his college career at Wyoming before transferring to TCU, where he turned into a star during his junior and senior seasons. He caught a combined 144 passes for 2,345 yards and 25 touchdowns in those two years, and in his senior season was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award as well as a first-team USA Today All-American. He was the only player in the country to rank in the top-six in receiving yards per game, receptions per game (7.9) and touchdown catches (14).

The 6-foot-2, 202-pound wideout’s best skill is undoubtedly his ability to turn inaccurate throws into completed passes. He has excellent body control, leaping ability, huge hands that are essentially magnets, and he knows how to beat out defenders at the point of the catch. He is not an expert route-runner and he is relatively lean, but he makes up for that with his contortionist abilities. 

If you want to see a truly masterful performance from a college football wide receiver, turn on the film of Doctson’s 18-catch, 267-yard, 3-touchdown game against Texas Tech from this past season. It is truly a thing of beauty. 

Here’s what Rob Rang and Dane Brugler wrote about Doctson in their scouting report on CBSSports.com:

All of Doctson's experience came in a spread offense that didn't ask him to run a full route tree, but he shows outstanding effort on throws in his zip code, expanding his catch radius, contorting his body and finding ways to finish catches - bailed out quarterback Trevone Boykin on a number of errant passes on film.

Doctson lacks polish in areas, but has the resilient mentality and on-field skill-set to contribute early and settle into a No. 2 receiver role, drawing similarities to Jordan Matthews when he entered the league out of Vanderbilt.
