So who drafts Watson

[SoCalWizFan]

I don't think New Orleans is sold on Grayson. Then there is Brees who is about to turn 38 in a few days is only signed through the end of 2017. If the guy they like is available I don't think it would be a bad idea to draft him before Brees is done.

Well if they can get him a little later - perhaps. However - just like w/ the Redskins - they have so many holes that I believe they need to address other areas. They likely will go w/ Brees for at least another 2-3 seasons. Why not see if perhaps you can luck out w/ a somewhat later pick.

Just can't trust the pundits. They are wrong too often.

Jets sign him with their 1st pick.

They are normally right about the pool of players that will go in the first round, they just aren't right about where they are taken and who takes them most of the time. The main two things that would drop him out of the first round would be off of the field character issues (I don't know of any) or a serious injury which hasn't happened yet.

That's definitely an option that they have. Let's just say that they do draft other positions and get marginally better. Now their draft position further down. Surely they are going to have to give up some valuable picks to move up to get anyone who is considered a top prospect which is a tradeoff they'll have to consider.

I'm going to say the Jets, but who really knows. A team may reach for him even though there are 2-3 better QB's than him.

Meh, Trubisky, Kizer and Mahomes are all going higher than Watson.

I would take Watson over each of them. Give me the guy that has consistently proven he can win big games. Those 3 are huge question marks, while we know very well what Watson is.

I feel sorry for any team that drafts Mahomes before round 5

I still think Hue Jackson has RG3 penciled as his starter next year, no matter how dumb that sounds
