Overview
- Washington used pick No. 147 to select Tennessee edge rusher Joshua Josephs, a Day 3 slot some outlets list as the fifth round.
- Josephs measures 6-foot-3 and 242 pounds with 34 1/4-inch arms, an 83 7/8-inch wingspan, and a 4.73-second 40-yard dash.
- He was a four-year contributor for the Volunteers with 104 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and eight pass breakups, and he started the past two seasons.
- Analysts project him as an immediate third-down pass rusher, noting his length and burst while saying he must add strength and counters to hold up against the run.
- This was Washington’s third pick of the draft after taking linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 7 and wide receiver Antonio Williams at No. 71, reflecting a push to add youth to the defensive end group.
