Fit for Chicago?

The Chicago Bears need a big play weapon on offense. They need someone with speed and someone who demands respect. A big, strong and durable weapon on the outside. They could be in the market for Washington. However, not in the first round. They are picking too high, and he is better suited in the middle or late part of the first round. Heck, Mel Kiper talked about him slipping into the third round.

However, if the Bears could find an edge rusher early, and Washington was able to slip into the early portions of round two, he would be a welcome addition to the Chicago Bears. He could slide in on the outside opposite of Cameron Meredith. His presence on the field makes life easier for players such as Meredith and Kendall Wright. They can both operate with the space of the added deep threat. It would be a great fit for the offense, and in the second round, a steal of an addition.
