Armani Watts

[CATCH17]

I don’t know much about him.. What do you guys think? Where is he being projected to go?

 

[DFWJC]

Definitely makes the rookie all-name team

Seriously though, he is a ball hawk with lack of size and tackling issues.
3rd rounder?

Not sure Id use a 3rd, vut he could go then. Some have him even earlier,so later.

• Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M
  Height: 5-10. Weight: 191. Arm: 31.63. Hand: 8.88.
  Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
  Projected Round (2018): 3-5.
  3/17/18: Watts totaled 87 tackles with five passes broken up, four interceptions and two forced fumbles in 2017. He missed the Aggies' bowl game with an injury. One of his picks was in overtime to beat Arkansas. Watts is an instinctive defender who is always around the ball and covers a lot of ground even though he lacks speed. He makes a lot of clutch plays.
  
  Watts has problems in man coverage, and that was exposed by UCLA tight end Caleb Wilson. In the open field, offensive players can run away from Watts, and sources say that lack of foot speed will likely be seen from him timing a slow 40.
  
  Sources say that Watts has good reaction on plays underneath, struggles in man coverage on tight ends, gets caught flat-footed, and jumps any initial moves. They feel that he is smaller, lacks speed, and misses too many tackles. Those sources graded him in the fourth round.
  
  7/24/17: Watts made a lot of clutch plays for the Aggies in 2016. He had 56 tackles with six for a loss, two forced fumbles, three passes broken up and two interceptions on the year. Watts totaled 126 tackles with two passes broken up and one interception in 2015. Like teammate Myles Garrett, Watts was an impressive freshman who was impossible to ignore in 2014. He totaled 59 tackles with nine passes broken up and three interceptions that season.
  
  Watts has displayed some instincts and play-making skills with free safety potential for the NFL with his ability to contribute in pass coverage. He could stand to improve his tackling, but has flashed the ability to make tackles in space.

4.65 is slow for his size and his position.

 

[beware_d-ware]

His tape just said "JAG" to me. I couldn't name one standout trait about him besides his ball skills.

4th or 5th round sounds right to me.

 

[Dalmations202]

Best guess is 3rd-4th round. I watched him the last few years, and he makes plays -- but also gambles and gets beat some. Seems to have a pretty good IQ for the game. Doesn't have elite speed though.

 

[DanA]

Looked pretty good when partnered with Evans two seasons ago. Not so good this last season.

 

[Prime21]

Instinctive and has ball skills, we haven't had that in our secondary for a long time. Take him with the 4th round comp pick or a small trade up from the 5th round comp.

Especially if we beef up the DLine earlier in the draft. A good pass rush will hide his lack of speed and highlight his ball skills.

Deep Safety draft, would not be upset if we took two.

 

[TheCoolFan]

He's small for even a nickel CB, much less a safety. People are high on Xavier Woods, who is already a little small for a safety too so I'm not sure if Watts would be an upgrade.

The thing is we play a lot of single-high, and those guys have to be able to run. Watch Brett Kollmann's video on Minkah Fitzpatrick, he made that stuff make a ton of sense for me.

 

[NotForLong]

Thought JJ had another brother.

I was like he'l yeah don' want to miss out again
