Quote:It's the same reason why people on this board don't want to take a QB at 3, when you can draft a guy in the second round that grades similarly, or has more upside. That same logic should apply to the WR position as well

 

People don't want a QB at 3 because they won't think (other than the Manziel kids) that a QB is the third best player in the draft.

 

That is why most people have the Jaguars taking Mack or Watkins at 3. Assuming Clowney is gone, one of those two (or both) will be available.

 

Consensus appears to be that both are worthy of the number 3 pick. While the consensus also being that no QB is worthy of the number 3 pick.

 

Maybe you think someone like Allen Robinson or Jordan Matthews is "graded similar" or "has more upside" than Watkins. But there is little reason to believe that is true. Donte Moncrief was brought up earlier. If you actually watch both play...why would you think that Moncrief even has a remote chance at being better? Because he's a few inches taller?
