Very pleased when the Cowboys drafted Watkins in the 5th round; couldn't believe he was still available and that we moved up to grab him. In fact, except for Carpenter (I would have been happy with either Lawson or the other kid), I wasn't pleased with Fasano or Hatcher cause I didn't think we addressing our needs. Drafting Green late in 4th room wasn't too bad but when we moved up in the 5th round to grab Watkins, I was thrilled. When he was followed by Stanley at DT/NT, then I was satisfied. Had no problem with McQuistan or Whitely in 7th round (although I wanted OL picks earlier).
Anyway I hoped Watkins would show enough to catch the coaching staff's attention so he would get some playing time on defense. I didn't expect him to look so good so soon nor turn out to be the best draftee so far. The picture of him jumping for that ball is incredible. Can't wait til he plays and hopefully makes one of those grabs. Can you imagine the announcer's reaction and the comments when it's played back. Word is going to get around the league about this kid real quick & some of those other teams who passed on him will just kill themselves. Ha. Hopefully he continues what he has started; he's going to be a real pleasure to watch.
Davis is in front of him for now at FS & I expect Davis to remain the starter through most of the season, but Watkins is going to be pushing Davis every minute and Davis better be looking over his shoulder.
