Before the draft, it was said repeatedly that drafting Watkins would be about trying to find that #1 guy. And of those four receivers, only Quick was looked at as a potential #1. Austin is a specialized weapon. Bailey's a 3rd rounder, and Givens is a 4th rounder. Both might still develop, especially Bailey, but even had we taken Watkins, that'd be a great thing.Fisher said he never had to draft a OL in the first. As farr as Watkins when u have the #2 pick you visit with all of the top 5 prospects even if you have no intentions of drafting them. Me personally i dont know how anybody would have thought we were drafting Watkins after we drafted 4 receivers the past 2 years and gave uppicks to get Austin. at some point you have to let what you have develop.
So there was a logic there in being interested in Watkins even though the Rams chose to go another direction.
