Deshaun Watson

[sportznutt]

Would look great as a Cardinal.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Has he ever taken a snap under center??

 

[stewdog1]

We rarely do it seems.

 

[stewdog1]

Him and DJ in the backfield? Dang.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Has he ever taken a snap under center??

Remember, Shipley sucks, so does it matter?

He can just hold the ball in his outstretched arms, like we used to do on the playground.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

Has he ever taken a snap under center??

He just did.

 

[GatorAZ]

Hoping he goes before the Cards pick. Jets?

 

[Shane]

He's a stud

 

[unseenaz]

he'll be there at 13, we won't take him. my prediction

 

[Bodha]

Hes not an NFL QB.

Taj Boyd came from the same exact system and was just as impressive. We want a QB, not a RB who occasionally throws the ball.

He won't be there

Taj Boyd was absolutely not as impressive hahahhaha

 

[Bodha]

Taj Boyd was absolutely not as impressive hahahhaha

They are practically identical.

The kid has some magic to him no doubt. He also performed very well the last 2 years against the top teams almost every time.

I'd take him in a heartbeat, but unless Keim pulls the trigger he's not making it to #13. IMO he's the best of this QB class

 

[Buckybird]

Not a chance, especially after tonite

 

[ajcardfan]

If someone like Jared Goff goes #2, then hell yeah Watson will go in the top 10. The league is DESPERATE to find QBs.

 

[Finito]

Taj Boyd dude seriously.

He's very much a QB before a runner.

You do understand in TWO national title games this kid has THROWN for over 800 yards on These Alabama defenses. I don't care who you are that's impresive

 

[Buckybird]

Has he ever taken a snap under center??

Winston, Mariotta, Wentz & Newton rarely did either

I'd be more worried if Watson was coming from the Tech air raid offense because nowadays most college teams are running the spread or pistol offense anyway.

Wow

 

[sportznutt]

Look at the teams that are still in the playoffs.....half of them have a QB who has won a Superbowl. It's a QB driven league. Win that position and build around.

Good points. I like Watson a ton, don't get me wrong. The kid has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be tough as nails and a winner. What he's done versus Bama alone, on the biggest stage under the brightest lights is simply stunning! And he is a physical freak for sure. Still don't know how he stayed in bounds on that one TD run last night!
Who knows, maybe he comes into the NFL and pulls a Dak... but I have my doubts about how quickly these spread-only QB's can effectively transition to the NFL... that said, he will absolutely NOT be there at 13. He's top 10 for sure, if not top 5...

Wow

This was against the best defense in the country. No small feat of sure.

 

[Harry]

He won't be there at 13. In fact I think a few teams have likely moved him ahead of Trubisky. I see nothing in his performance that is Boyd-like. Watson is far more polished, stronger and much better at making several of the throws the NFL looks at when judging.

 

[az jam]

The top 3 drafting teams need a qb. (Browns, 49ers, Bears) IMO one of them will take Watson.

I remember some posters wanting Boyd when he came out, never amounted to anything. I also remember watching Boyd and saying he'll never make it in the NFL. Watson at best may find mediocre success in the NFL. He's a waste of a first round pick. I know I will get a lot of flak for this but I wouldn't pick him any earlier than the 4th round. Great athlete, fair QB. Career backup at best. Might make a good WR ala Terrelle Pryor who I hope the Cardinals make a play for in FA.
