Yeah, this is one of the rare drafts that I am sitting here looking at 4 prospects and thinking.."I won't be disappointed".I tend to lean Mathews, but if we select Watkins I'll be excited.
I think Sted will do that a fair amount this year. He has a pretty amazing ability to set defenders on their heels and then run through the would-be tackle. Not sure yet if it will translate against NFL caliber talent but same can be said of any receiver coming out of college.The only WR on our team that can actually break tackles or break contact is Quick. I love that Watkins plays that way also.
Too bad we don't have like 4 1st round picks ;0

^That kid looks solid. Has he had any durability issues? He reminds me of Danario Alexander.
Personally, if you ask me who I want, I think this guy presents the best value:
6'3" 215
4.40 40 time
206 catches, 2800 receiving yards and 15 receiving TDs in the SEC the last two years
His Starting QBs were Austyn Carta-Samuels, Patton Robinette, and Jordan Rodgers
He's a projected second round pick. You heard that right. 6'3" with 4.4 speed, elite production in the SEC with questionable QB play, and he's a projected second round pick. Oh yea, forgot to mention, from all reports, his work ethic and film habits are off the charts good. Phil Savage was taken aback when Matthews asked him for film of the CBs they were inviting to the Senior Bowl so he could study up on them before the week started.
