The NFL Draft is little more than week away, but we have known this years players for almost four months. Do we really know these players? Lets find out with scoring reports on the drafts’ top prospects
Player: Sammy Watkins
Summary: Watkins is the top playmaking skill position player in the draft and will not be on the board very long. Watkins has been mocked to every team in the Top 5 at some point except the Texans. Watkins is a rare talent that has the ability to be the best receiver to come out of the draft since Calvin Johnson if he finds himself in the right situation
Pros:
- Elite Speed
- Durable
- Intimidating stature and build
- Great first move off the line
- All the makings of an elite prospect
Cons:
- Disappeared some in 2012
- One off the field incident
Pro Comparison: Percy Harvin/Josh Gordon Hybrid
Watkins earns the respect of safeties of all types like Gordon and has the playmaking ability of a better, healthier Harvin. Put those two talents together and you have a player with the ability to be a player like the league has never seen before. The question is can Watkins put his tools to the test with a subpar quarterback.
Perfect Fits: New York Jets, St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions, Anyone
Any team would be better for having Watkins on their team, but very few have the need and the ability to bring out his true potential. The Jets don't have a quarterback that could make Watkins better but Watkins could make their quarterback situation much better. As for the Rams, they should not pass up on Watkins at No. 2 and if they decide to add him they will have given Sam Bradford all the tools to succeed.
