Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson - Legit alternative to Jared Goff in 2017?

What other options are there? This is another weak QB draft, and he's the best by a mile. We are starved at QB currently. Sorry, but it's looking like we'll draft in the top 10. Shouldn't cost much to move to #1.

What??? This draft has much more talent in the top 5 than last year. Watson and Garrett are much better prospects than anyone in the 2016 draft so it should cost a lot more to trade up to #1 or #2 than it did last year. Fournette is also much better than Elliott who was picked fourth.

If we're outside the top 5, we're looking at giving up multiple first round picks to get Watson.

You realize Garapolo would be a heck of a lot more proven in the NFL than Watson right? It's not that I'm against Watson...if we have an early enough pick but I doubt we'll have #1 overall which is what it will take so trading a 2nd round pick for Jimmy G and drafting a stud player at another position with the first rounder could be a better idea than giving up a bounty to try to move up for Watson.

if watson is on the board when we draft we should take him no matter what im not in favor of trading up for him however

its to early to say that

kelly is a fit and a top talent (like watson) he does have maturity issues though

i like kaaya as he is pro ready but he doesnt fit this offense(hes not that mobile)

mayfield and falk are easily potential risers but imo neither are ready day 1 but they both have lot of talent

Unfortunately I live in Mississippi and I've seen a ton of Chad Kelly. Would not touch him with a ten foot poll. Mayfield is what, 5'10"? It's Watson or bust.

He will be closely monitored. Let's see what he does this year.

Our chances of getting Watson just took a hit with the news that Tony Romo broke his back. We may win that game now with their starting QB and several defensive players out
