Steelers select Georgia tight end Darnell Washington with No. 93 ...

Washington never put up gaudy numbers as a pass-catcher, but he earned second-team All-SEC honors in his third and final season with the Bulldogs, catching a career-high 28 passes for 454 yards and two touchdowns.

He's also built to be a highly valuable blocker on the edge. Washington is traditional in that he's an in-line tight end who has plenty of power to take on all comers off the edge, making him a weapon in a scheme that aims to attack the perimeter on the ground. A demonstrated history of running routes and catching passes gives him a dynamic upside.

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah compared Washington to a more explosive version of Marcedes Lewis.

If not for the knee questions, Washington would have gone well before the third round. The Steelers are betting on that upside.

With his ability to both block and catch the ball, he's a perfect fit for the Steel City.
