No hype for Christian Watson?

[tm1119]

With the Cowboys bringing in 1st round WR targets, could Watson be going under the radar?

6’4 208 with 4.38 speed and 38.5” vert.

It’s actually going under the radar how much of a freak athlete Watson is. His measurables line up with the elite of elite WR’s.

Obviously combine workouts aren’t everything…
43 catches for 800 yards and 7 TD’s this year. For reference North Dakota St only threw the ball 255 times last year…450+ attempts is normal for most power 5 conference teams.



Watson also blew up the day Senior Bowl playing against D1 talent. Winning “WR of the week” for his team



Other than level of competition in college…I’m not sure what’s not to like about Watson.

NFL has him 6th, above Dotson.

 

[Cowboyny]

I have seen some 1st rd projections to both the Chiefs and the Lions.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’m a fan.

I just don’t think he lasts to the point of the draft where I’d feel comfortable taking him (3rd round).

 

[Rayman70]

CW played for ND state. Thats why. Its a huge jump to haye a guy from that level to the NFL. I like him as well. I see him as a rd 3-4 guy.

0 way that happens. He is a 3rd rd guy. Its possible a team reaches for him in rd 2 at earliest.

I like him, but JD is much better right now.

I wouldn't rule anything out, especially for receiver needy teams like KC or Lions.

He is my favorite 2nd tier receiver as not only does he have long speed, but has unusual quickness for a player of his size. Only knock on him is his level of competition.

You stating your opinion over and over doesn’t make it a fact. Show me a reliable source that has Christian Watson projected as a 3rd round pick.

 

[AsthmaField]

I actually like Watson a whole lot. IMO he is going to end up being one of the best WR’s out of this class. People are sleeping on him, I think.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I'd take him over Drake London. He could easily go in round 1.

 

[MonsterD]

He is definitely going in the second, with some chance to be drafted in the 1st. He is consistently rated after either Olave,Dotson or Williams.(edit and Pickens)

If he is ranked 7th-8th in WR that means after 6 go in the first he is in the next group. Wilson,Olave,Williams,Burks, and London are 100% going in the first, then it is Dotson and Watson, you do the math.

 

[Killerinstinct]

I like him but not at 24 and he will be gone by 56. Maybe in a trade back or trade up.

 

[morasp]

I like him, but JD is much better right now.

I think he'll have trouble with press coverage but I like him as well.

 

[cnuball21]

I’m a huge fan…don’t see much difference from him and the top guys outside of the sticker on his helmet.

I could easily see him getting drafted in the 1st.

Im very curious to see what kind of impact the WR market being drastically reset with crazy $ has on the draft. Will teams pick WR’s higher because the cheap 5 year contract will have even more value?

He has no clue. Don’t listen to him

 

[Gaede]

He's got all the measurables but I feel like I've read his hands aren't great, which I never like to read about a receiver

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

I’ve hyped him up big time on the eagles board, check this out:

Faster 10 and 20 yard split than Tyreek Hill or John Ross
