Quote:Reminds me of a quote from High Fidelity, one of my favorite movies:

 

Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have (expletive) for brains.

 

Yep!

 

 

Head - Mack

 

Caldwell has described scenarios in the past where teams may be less likely to move up in a draft for a player at a specific position if the position is considered 'deep'. He then stated that OT and WR are deep for this class. This tells me that while he sees value in a Matthews or a Robinson or even Watkins, he knows that while he may not get the same value later, he can get a good player later at that position. This leads me to believe that he takes the best player at the shallowest position that provides the best impact. That's Mack. Also, I just don't see Jeff Fisher letting Watkins go past him.

 

Heart - Watkins... no! Mack! ... no wait! Watkins! ... Mack! ... Both?!

 

Mack can limit the playing time and by extension increase the performance of the Sam 'backer and the LEO. That means Dekoda Watson, Chris Claiborne, Jason Babin, Andre Branch, and some other people that I'm probably missing. That's a lot of impact by one guy.

 

As for Watkins, he takes the top off of the Defense. Not many guys do that and it would be a lot of fun to have one of those on the roster instead of trying to defend against them. The man scores points and there aren't a lot of people on the team that do that.

 

Gut - Trade down

 

Gus takes a package, trades down a bit and gets a 'not quite as good' pass rusher in Barr, or a Mike Evans. Just seems like he is looking to move back.
