Redskins take highlight-reel receiver Josh Doctson

The Washington Redskins have selected TCU wide receiver Josh Doctson with the 22nd overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

After sliding back one spot in a trade with the Houston Texans, the Redskins landed a player who has the potential to dominate in the vertical game at the next level.

That ability, lined up opposite the game-breaking speed of DeSean Jackson, could go a long way toward helping Washington's offense take another step forward.

Doctson closed out his college career with a 2015 campaign in which he racked up an impressive 78 receptions for 1,326 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Strengths

• Incredibly productive pass-catcher with 25 touchdowns over the past two seasons despite being the focal point of opposition defense.
• Uses height and incredible leaping ability to high-point the ball well, thrives in jump-ball situations.
• Possesses very strong hands and performs exceptionally on catches in traffic.
• Size and jump-ball ability make him a lethal red-zone threat.
• Utilizes deceptive speed shifts to create separation on vertical routes.

Weaknesses

• Very lean frame and lack of experience against physical, press corners could hurt at the next level.
• Played in a spread-style offense at TCU that saw sets create lots of space.
• The spread-style offense also limited the route tree Doctson ran in college.
• Was rarely called upon for extensive blocking, will have to improve in that area at next level.
• Missed the final three games of the season with a wrist injury, despite attempting to comeback.
