...or the Cowboys

Yep. He's got Jerry World written all over him for sure.

Yeah. Wishful thinking at best. Unless Graham has some kind of wild medical scare there's no way he honestly makes it outside of the top five in my opinion. Watts is a good player. 

Every time I saw a Notre Dame game on primetime last year and this year he's either always around the football, closing in on the action or making some type of splash play. I really like that kid the more I watch his highlights.

I really like this safety class. I think we need to build the lines but if we wanted to rebuild our secondary this would be a perfect class to do it in.  We could get a lock down corner in the first and we could get 2 really good safeties if we wanted.  Im hoping we can fix the oline in FA.  Hopefully Little finishes the season strong and we can resign him and we can get Trey Smith in FA.  Smith will be very expensive but he would be worth it imo.  I wonder how the new regime will feel about our DT group.  If the new regime wants to put Armstead at DT and Hamilton finishes the season strong and healthy they might like what we have there with Maason Smith and Jefferson behind them.  I think we could turn our secondary into a strength with this draft though.   I really like Emmanwori at SS as well and he is a bit of a ball hawk like Watts, both have 4 Ints on the season.  A Watts, Emmanwori, and Hunter/Johnson secondary would be nasty with Campbell and Jones.  We have to shore the trenches though.  We have a lot of picks so if we have a good draft we can fix a number of things.  Hopefully we can hit on a WR in the mid rounds as well and we need Kirk to come back 100%

Agreed. Really comes down to what the hell Khan is going to do with this next hiring cycle. Need a General Manager and Coaching Staff on the same page and in lockstep to get this corrected. 

It's really difficult to understand how a team went from 9 - 8, 9 - 8 to now 2 - 9. Other than there's some fundamental issues in there and a lot of it feels like that goes back to forcing a previous general manager to work with a coach that didn't have a previous relationship with him.

Pederson clearly doesn't know how to establish a defense with his decision making hiring wise. Baalke has clearly failed in adding competent upgrades to both sides of the football in the trenches. That's where it all starts really. 

Arranged marriages usually tend to suck. Ours certainly did in this case.
