2022 Second Round Pick, #34, Christian Watson Discussion Thread

[Jaire]

I think Chris Simms is the best draft analyst. He misses occasionally -- who doesn't? But given Watson's high character, I don't see the downside. Simms had Watson as his number two receiver. Packers take developmental receivers, not finished products (so too with most high picks). It also reminds me that one of the coaches is his division said that Watson was the best receiver in the FCS since Randy Moss.

I am very happy with this pick and the Wyatt pick.

Good job man, I with you on all this, especially about Wyatt and Watson - they have me all pumped this weekend!

If the Sr bowl dbs think he was the best that says something. Metal sharpens metal and if he challenges them he must be at least decent. No he will.habe stokes pushing him on speed and jaire for technique. I think we got a good wr here. Hate giving up the 2 2nds but really could not wait based on who was gone already. I thought someone would get him in 1st actually.

Maybe proof read your posts before you post. “Sr bowl DBs think he was the best that says something.”

If you’re a Sr Bowl DB, there has got to be something wrong with you. I mean, you don’t see Sauce and Stingray playing in Sr bowls, do you? Nope. The best corners enter the draft prior to their senior year of eligibility.

A bunch of JAG DBs saying Watson is the best they’ve ever covered ain’t saying much, hombre. I mean, I once shut down Darren Charles. Charles ain’t in any shape, form, matter or antimatter the best WR ever conceived in cold, dark and dull Wisconsin. That honor belongs to Bill Schroeder.

So regardless of the talent these db have they also competed against pierce and dotson, who are also highly regarded prospects.
They said watson was the best. That says something and it isn't negative.
I'm not saying watson = moss from this. I'm saying he was recognized by a group of players whose job is to shut down wr that he is the best there.
Maybe understand what is being said before commenting.
Dude is an athletic freak. He has potenial. He is 1 of 3 wr I thought might be an ok #1if he develops. The others were injured, and I down grade watson already due to the competition he faced. That is why I repeatedly said there was no sure #1 wr, only a bunch of #2.

I am amused that a player who I think is comparable to your boy dk is garbage in your eyes. I doubt he will be as good but he is the best wr athlete since dk imo.

No. Just the best at the senior bowl. Not nothing, not GOAT.

DK and Watson are very different. DK outweighs Watson by 20 pounds. He is all about straight speed and power. Watson is almost as fast, but is also a much more flexible athlete.

True, but athletic freaks both of them. I didn't see the comparison until today and I have run I to twice so far. Maybe it is some random draft guys hyping the pick, but I'm hoping it's accurate.
If he is 75% Metcalf still a good pick imo

YouTube “Miles Austin.” Watson not only looks like Austin, he plays like Austin.

I’d rather have a poor man’s Randy Moss (Thornton) than a poor man’s Austin.

38 on the Wunderlic. Wyatt and Walker both scored in the single digits.

[Scott Campbell]

I'm going on record and way out on a limb to predict he has a way better career than Joey Harrington.

S’up, Campbell, how many wives do you have now?

[Scott Campbell]

Still just the one.

Except most days it feels like 11-12.

How does APB not like a 6'4" 210 lb 4.36 WR. This guy is right up your alley, APB.

The 40 never excites me, but his 10-yard split three cone and short shuttle or insane for a guy his size

I dig Thornton more. 4.28 > 4.36

Where the hell was Scott Campbell when we had GB Brandon causing havoc? Campbell would have destroyed Brandon.

Campbell’s a poor man’s Rand. Might not be poor, though. I recall Campbell mentioning his fabulous ski trips back in the days. As Bobble likes to brag, one has to have sumptuous frogskins to ski.

So harv great 17 minute video. I actually watch the whole thing. Some people are calling him a Randy Moss or MVS clone but I'm thinking more Julio Jones. My best guess is he's instantly an upgrade from MVS.

As for tex thinking we upgraded with Watkins and Watson. That's just crazy. Watkins is a poor man's devonte, but that's kind of an insult to poor people. He's more like a flat broke. No checkbook, shot credit eating out of a garbage can devonte. That production is going to have to be made up for through every single guy on the offense.
