Exactly, there's no way in hell that Mitch is better. If he is selected ahead of him it is because he is white, calling it.

you think people care about race?
Lol is a serious question?

Will be interesting to see what the Browns do. This probably boosts Watson to on par with Trubisky and Kizer, but there's a chance none of those 3 QBs is there at 12 if the Browns pass on QB at 1.

I still think they'll draft Garrett and then either toss the dice hoping a QB falls to them with the backup plan of acquiring Garapollo or they'll trade up from their 2nd first round pick to get a QB after taking Garrett.

Agreed. But I think he might be worth reaching on with the 2nd pick. If we dont someone else will

Terrible value at 2.

You sure?

Yes.

The issues with Watson will still be there on draft day. Limited playbook, half field reads, and floats some balls. His mental capacity at the NFL level will be the major question. Is he ready to start his rookie year...because that's the expectation for a top 5 pick.

He's a great college QB, at the NFL level that means nothing on Sundays. He needs a year or two to be ready. That doesn't scream 2nd pick to evaluators.

Finished his season with a win...you know who didn't?....looking at Kizer and Mitch....lol
Meet your #1 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. Browns fans must be new believers.

Any way to get both Watson and Williams????

yes, It would involve trading out of the 2nd pick, picking up an additional 2nd and then moving back up into the first. Plus a bit more. It is possible anyway.

Herbstriet is right about @DeshaunWatson4 Let all the talent evaluators talk about others. He's my No 1 QB in the draft.

Mitch would've threw a pick there

Mitch threw 2 versus the stanford defense (who isn't a push over in their own right). If Mitch was qb in spot of Watson this game would have been over at half time in bamas favor.

He'll go high but I don't know that he'll be the first QB off the board.

Teams will love all his mental attributes he has..a winner from day 1..great head on his shoulders..i think he goes top 5 and maybe number 1 with Hue Jackson at Cleveland..

I have no idea how this game could make anyone think he is an NFL QB. Great college QB -sure. Great athlete-sure. Great clutch performance-sure, but his entire night was one read throws on slant routes or jump balls to Mike Williams.
Deshawn Watson =Vince Young
IDK if he can really throw but god damn was that clutch.

I disagree regarding a top 5 pick being expected to start his rookie season. Look at Goff lol

Has Dak written all over him
Regardless I want the browns to be in love with him so we get garrett but if garrett is gone I'd take Watson over Tribisky in a heart beat
