Don't forget, tough wise, Jones ran a 4.3 40 with a broken foot. I'm out of this. Best wishes, especially for our team. Watkins said he would break the 40 record...did he? No, not close. I like him, but not at @ #2.

Watkins isn't even the fastest in his family.
 
RFIP said:
Taller? Yes.

Faster? Only if you use the combine and not game speed.

Tougher? Heck no.

Better run after catch? Nope.

Jones was a stud, no doubt. As is Watkins. But because Watkins isn't the same height he gets dinged, but he plays taller and has a big catch radius not to mention his ability to adjust to balls behind him or at his feet.

Going to be interesting.

If they don't draft Watkins then I take Matthews AND I do not pick any other wr in the draft because we have cornered the market on guys who can't play, aren't players, or like like Tarzan and play like Jane.

RFIP, who's your second choice for the Rams' first pick? I asked you this in another thread but I don't think I got a response (apologies if you did respond and I didn't see it).

Watkins isn't my choice for the Rams first pick but to deny his talent is silly. Did you ever see him catch a screen pass and take off like he was shot from a cannon? His ability to accelerate quickly is rare. Julio can't match that. I rate Watkins above Jones too. Heck, when White is healthy Jones isn't even the best receiver on his team.
 
LOL Both of his run times were stopped by the Steeler dude who admitted he screwed up. No one runs a faster time the second time around.

And if you WATCHED the combine then you saw all the NFL players tweeting that Watkins would break the combine record right?

Maybe you changed the channel.

Whoa! So you are saying in this deep WR draft that there is no other worthy of playing in the NFL? And the Rams have no NFL worthy WRs? Medication is in order.

RFIP,

Actually, some players have run faster times on their second attempt.
Also, there have been plenty of players NFL players, media, and fans expected to run great times that didn't.
It happens almost every year, if not every year.
 
RFIP with this gem:

Really smacks of sour grapes there RFIP.

I'm OK with not picking any WR in this draft too but not ,of course, for the reasons you gave.

It is NOT Watkins Sapp is watching at the combine:

I have no problem with drafting Watkins though. Dude's awesome.
 
If Jones & Watkins were both in this Draft we would not be talking about Watkins.....Jones all day, every day, every hour and every minute....not even close to Jones IMO. Even I would be pulling for a WR with the #2 and Jones would be my choice.

Not at all what I'm saying.

What I AM saying is the Rams are at a point where they can no longer wait years for a wr to FINALLY develope and Watkins IMO is the ONLY plug and play wr in this draft.
