Don't tease us.

He has potential to be good unlike Patrick Lorenzon

Smokescreen for that trade back into the 2nd round for a sleeper ILB pick.

Maybe Andy can sell it to Clark that he's a WR until after the draft then pull the ol switcheroo.

:clap: Whatever it takes.

Where he should be picked
Watson is a borderline first-round talent with the potential to develop into a long-time starter. Although I could see a team falling in love with his athleticism, intangibles and winning pedigree, Watson is probably destined to come off the board within the top 50 selections, probably between picks 25 and 45.

If I could pick a few teams that would perfectly match his talents, I would cite the Chiefs, Bills, Giants and Cardinals as strong fits. The Chiefs, in particular, would be an ideal situation due to the presence of a proven QB developer (Andy Reid) and a veteran QB (Alex Smith) that would allow Watson to redshirt until he is ready for a bigger role. Considering how the strategy worked for Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers, Watson would certainly benefit from joining a team with a long-term developmental plan in place.

Too much THC

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profil...son?id=2558063 Not worth a 1st round pick

"Frame is a little more slender than teams typically like.
Accuracy runs hot and cold.
Tends to over-stride on drive throws, causing release point to drop and balls to sail.
Ball placement on crossing routes and slants needs to improve.
Will leave throws behind intended targets.
Deep-ball accuracy has been scatter-shot over his last two seasons at Clemson, with throws sailing well beyond his target.
Design of offense limited his need to make full-field reads.
Has to become adept at working through progressions and playing chess against safeties.
Needs to let routes develop rather than rushing anticipatory throws.
Too many interceptions due to lack of vision, placement or decision-making. Threw interception vs. Troy against bracketed coverage he didn't see.
Baited into bad-decision interceptions twice by Florida State cornerbacks.
Has issues improvising away from initial, pre-snap plan even when pathway to target becomes muddy.
Shotgun quarterback who, like Jared Goff, could take time getting used to huddling, pace of play-calling and drop-backs from under center."

"Smith’s biggest strengths are his intelligence and the efficiency he plays with. He sees the field very well and makes smart decisions. He will rarely make a bad decision on the field. He is a very accurate passer, displays a solid arm, but he is also extremely mobile. He can escape the pressure, but he can also make plays with his feet when things break down. He is a leader, and a hard worker. He already earned his bachelor’s degree during his true sophomore season.

"When you see the numbers Smith put up, a lot of people assume it’s because of the system he was in. In Smith’s case, it is a valid question. Urban Meyer put together a great program at Utah, and he’s now headed to Florida. Smith could also stand to sit for a year or two on the pro level to develop his body some more. He is a true junior, and he needs to bulk up to take the beating the NFL is going to give him."

I see Watson going 10th.

F that "not a first round" noise. KC would have to trade up to get him and they should. I'd go off on this but I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Again.

edit: would you trade a first round pick straight up for Marcus Mariota? If not, welp. You were born stupid.

how do you think watson compares to MM? I would trade a 1st for MM in a second.

Same thing I said in the other QB thread. If Dorsey believes this kid is the one, trade up and take him. We don't have a ton of holes and he could find a ton of success stepping into a team that is set up like we are. Now's the time to make a move like this.
