Malik Washington scouting report
The Dolphins needed a WR3 and waited until the sixth round to address that. To answer the most obvious question: He runs the 40 in 4.47. He caught 110 passes last season because he was targeted so often, including short passes. He doesn't drop passes. He has no problem weaving through traffic. He'll catch the ball in a crowd. He'll lay out for a pass. He could fill Miami's need in the slot since Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have the top two receiving roles nailed down.
