Quote:I can understand why they signed him. I might have taken a shot at him too. The guy is a slightly bigger version of Telvin Smith. At his pro day he ran a 4.40 and throughout the draft process stayed in the 4.4s and 4.5s. He is fast and is exactly what Bradley wants. But there are plenty of guys in the NFL with superior physical talent but don't seem to have it between the ears. That may be Watson.

Sometimes that's what it comes down to. You need a certain level of athleticism, but if you're slow at diagnosing plays because you lack instinct and football intelligence, you'll be constantly reacting and in bad position as a result. 

 

It would be awesome to have a player or two in the back 7 who just knows where to be at all times. I don't even care about making "big plays" at this point - just get some bodies who won't let WR's be 10-15 yards open.
