I remain unimpressed with Watson as a high draft pick candidate.  I just don't think he was even that special as a college QB.  That's a very talented team around him as well.  Good, very good player... I'm just not sold he's a special player, particularly as he projects as an NFL QB.

 

I'd prefer we take a look at a guy like Jerod Evans with a later pick.

 

He needs development at the NFL level for sure, and a dark horse behind some of the names thrown around from the ACC.

 

If you look at his numbers, he was very impressive in his single season in D1.  His numbers stand up to Trubisky, Watson, and Jackson.  He equals Trubisky in Y/A, edges out Watson and Jackson in QBR, and is better than Jackson in comp. percentage and yardage as well.  Finished third in the ACC for yardage.  Third in QBR.  Fourth in TDs.

 

Again, that kind of production and efficiency from a first year D1 player.
