Pittsburgh has 32 & 49. 
Detroit has 34, 48 & 56.
Green Bay has 42 & 45. 
Seattle has 37 & 52. 

Then you have teams like New England at 46, Chicago at 53 & L.A (Chargers) at 54. 

All of those teams above have a few common traits. 

1. Young QB's that need security blankets
2. A tendency to lean on the running game and Washington is probably the best bang for your buck in the blocking department with the highest catch radius and upside.

I would be stunned if he's there at 56 tonight. Also, I'll go one step further. It would not shock me if he comes off the board tonight BEFORE Michael Mayer.

Yeah I wouldn't be shocked but I think Mayer goes first but I have both with 1st round grades.  If we have a deal in place with one of these veteran pass rushers behind closed doors I could see us going offense again.  If Mayer or Washington falls to the mid 2nd it wouldn't shock me if we move up for one.  Washington would be like another lineman out there on top of giving Trevor that big rezone target we lack.  I think last year was more of a Baalke draft and this year I feel is more of a Doug draft and getting Dougs guys to help and protect Trevor.

I would love seeing Harrison and Little out there with Washington or Mayer lined-up next to them. Especially inside the redzone. Then you can flex Engram around as the move TE and with Kirk and Ridley on the outside? Take your pick. One of these guys is getting open.

And, if the defense is not paying enough attention and they back pedal without peaking in the backfield first? Etienne is already past your linebackers. 

Man, that would be tempting.
