What a stud.

For me there are two "can't miss guys" I'll put my name on: Watkins and Mathews.

I love both.

I tend to lean Watkins because of the high pick, and a playmaker lean toward those picks...

Gonna be fun.

Good pick if we go with him or......

 

[Rams and Gators]

Any way we could take both Watkins and Robinson/Matthews?

Is the draft still 55 days away .

Rams and Gators thinking about draft odds:

I'm pretty sure we can get Robinson and Matthews in the 1st round with our first two picks but I think there's only a 50/50 chance Watkins will drop to us at #44 in the second round.

Sorry R&G.

what about Watkins and one of the top OL in the first? Starting to come around to Watkins, want Sammy to have the best.

nighttrain just can't help falling in love with Watkins:

I have to stop forgetting to use blue font.
1a. Matthews/ Robinson
1b. Ha-Ha/Gilbert
I think Watkins is a luxury we can't afford until next year.

That is what I was thinking, BUT with RS back in the fold, if Watkins is really as good as his highlights, we should take him just so SB has his man. I could see starting recivers next year as
slot Austin
WR Bailey
WR Watkins
receivers, the good ones seem to make their move In 2nd seasons, great ones like the Rev and Holt are ready from day 1. The question then is, which is Watkins?

nighttrain still prioritizing Watkins:

That would be a great WR corps for sure and I'd take Watkins with our #13 pick in a heartbeat and look for a FS later in the draft. But I wouldn't take anyone over one of the top OTs. IMO, it doesn't matter how good your WR corps is if your QB is on his back or getting injured.

If we could be certain that Long will last the whole year without injury I'd want Watkins too. Are you certain?
