Round 6, No. 187 overall: WR Casey Washington, Illinois
This isn’t someone who had anywhere close to a free agent grade, let alone a 6th round grade. Casey Washington is a great, straight-line athlete, but this feels like the Falcons taking a guy for Special Teams more than actually taking someone worth this pick. Atlanta should have gone anywhere else here.
