If he’s as highly regarded as Marcus Mariota was coming out of OR then he has to be in play at 4, especially with Tom Coughlin at the helm. To me, Watson is a similar prospect to Mariota, an athletic guy that processes information fast and delivers an accurate ball with a tight compressed throwing motion, he reportedly aced his combine interviews and has a ridiculously high football IQ, a Peyton Manning-esque football IQ.



This should come as no surprise to most who’ve watched him dissect Alamba’s elite pass defense in consecutive years on the biggest stage in college sports, there has been a ridiculous amount of positive buzz surrounding Watson after the combine and at this point he’s destined for a top 10 selection. While I’d never advocate selecting a player based off what they’d do for the this team off the field, one can’t deny the impact Watson would have in terms of rejuvenating this fan base, while bringing some national attention to the scene as well, both are a positive.



Imo, Watson is as good as a prospect as Marcus Mariota was coming out of OR, and he’s certainly a better prospect than Prescott was coming out of Miss ST, I have to believe the Jaguars have legitimate interest in a guy like Watson who posses’s a high floor and ceiling. If you take a look at what we did in free agency, and try to predict what we’re going to do in the draft, you can probably rule out defensive back, outside of a tradeback you can rule out OL, and Lat Murray's interest tells me they're not considering a RB in that spot either, so that leaves DL, TE, QB. It’s certainly possible they take Allen or Thomas if they’re available, it’s also possible we take a guy like OJ Howard, but I think a dark horse is a QB, and imo Watson is the best in this class.





Doug Farrar (a guy with connections) wrote this piece on Watson after the combine, its a good read
