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..

Dude has earned it. I'm not sure anybody can make a compelling argument for Trubisky over Watson. It's just preference.

No disputing Watson is an all-time great.

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.

Gonna be a lot of pressure on the browns from the fans to take watson.

I think it puts Watson 2nd in the draft. Still behind Mitch but clearly ahead of Kizer. But, that can all change after the combine and workouts.
Great win. Still dont want him

Tell me again how Tribisky is suppose to be better than Watson?

Because the best college quarterback isn't necessarily the best NFL prospect. I definitely think Watson can do well in the NFL but he's going to need to play to an offense specifically geared towards his skillset. The guy he would have fit best with just got s**tcanned a week ago.


Maybe he could follow chip to Cal, if that holds up.

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.

Trubisky also doesn't play with an offense stocked with NFL talent. His most NFL ready receiver is a 5'9" slot receiver.


Not sure why people have to knock a player to appreciate another. I'm happy both Watson and Trubisky are in the draft, I think they both have special talent in their own right. Options are not a bad thing at all.

I saw one sideline completion on a corner route that was an NFL throw but I agree with your point.

Lol did u watch the game ?
Originally posted by fip24:
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

Don't forget who is picking at #1.

That was the closest thing to an NFL game against an NFL defense that u will get in NCAA.
