Quote:You're describing wentz' situation to a T last year. Just sayin.

 

I wouldn't say that at all.  I was Wentz over Goff from the beginning.  As it got closer to the draft, you saw all the TwitterScouts^TM change from team Goff to team Wentz as they caught wind of GM/real scout sentiment as well.  By the time the draft rolled around Goff had faded.  That's not happening with Watson, I don't see that happening with Watson in these last weeks.

 

The only thing that stands out as similar to me is how some choose to overrate Watson similar to what was done early on with Goff Far too many tend to "fall" for their guy way too hard instead of being objective.

 

One thing that did not change during draft speculation, however, is that QBs were expected to come off first and/or extremely high last year.

 

Contrast that with this season, where the top teams need QBs and all or most are expected to pass... there's no comparison.  Goff and Wentz weren't world beater candidates, and they still went high to QB needy teams.  The top QBs of this draft aren't special candidates either, teams at the top need QBs, yet the same isn't happening.  It's certainly not for lack of need, it's lack of value.
