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.

amen brother!

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.

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

Goff ended up starting this year. Watson needs a full year or two...not 10 weeks.

I like him but you're looking at somebody running a simple scheme. He's going to be asked to do something he's never done and that will be a hit on his stock.

You're basing all this off this win. Regardless of winning or losing the issues are still there tomorrow. Can we invest the 2 for a 1-2 year wait?

Yeah but Hunter Renfrow is the one who shredded Bama today, he's a walk on. Though I agree that his talent is better, I will up your take and say he did it against the best defense in CFB history according to most "experts." I do not believe in one way shape or form mitch could do it.

Watson looks BETTER against top competition. He regularly shreds top defenses. If anything, saying he has talent around him makes him even better. He is ALWAYS the best player on the field. And that includes a loaded Alabama roster.

When the announcers stated that Watson is sharp, he is like a coach on the field and has a grasp of the whole play book, I thought, done for the Niners to draft him at spot number 2. He is a proven winner and the Clemson coach stated he is the face of the team.

I am sold

This is absurd. Watson was hitting those back shoulder throws all game. He threw some passes tonight where only his receivers could catch it. That was impressive. He carved Bama up.

Imo you sit him behind Kap for one year he'll be ready in 2018

The reality is that we'll never know. I watched Trubisky lead some huge comebacks and be clutch down the stretch like in the Pitt game but he also never had the benefit of being able to chuck it up into a crowd and have Mike Williams come down with it.

All I know for certain is that Trubisky had a very good season, Watson struggled early on but finished off fantastically and regardless of the order, they will be 2 of the first 3 QB's drafted.

They have to take him #2 or try and trade down and take Williams. One them needs to we wearing red and gold on April 27th.

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
More like tee martin

What does this guy have to do to convince people? Throw 70 yards from his knees?
