First, I didn't say he wasn't going to be a bad player. I think any above average athlete that plays OLB in a 3-4 should get at least 8 sacks a season. Watt uses his hands really well, and has a really nice feel for the game. I think he played in a really great defense at Wisconsin that could bring pressure from any where and he benefited from that by using his own abilities but capitalized from having Beigel on the other side. For my money I would rather draft Beigel later in the draft and take a top corner in round 1.

Also Matthews was a second round talent coming into the draft. He made it into the first round when the Packers moved back into the first round with a trade with the Pats.
