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

[Jaire]

Christian Watson 50% bust
Doubs 65% bust
Amari Rodgers 80% bust
Toure 90% bust

Well be lucky if we get one player out of this group of misfits.

I feel a lot better about the OL we took the last few years. Runyan, Newman, Rhyan, Tom. I like their chances.

wow

rg went from negative nellie to od'ing on blackpills

RG is just in troll mode right now.

I’m glad to be wrong about Watson. I had my doubts, but his upside looks unquestionable now. He creates separation! He’s a worker! He brings contagious energy! He blocks! He’s a legit deep threat.

Definitely more dangerous than MVS on the crossers and horizontal stuff. Wins deep.

I’m optimistic! Harvey was right!

Gonna be some frustrating drops. But he’s a playmaker.

[RashanGary]

Doubs looks like a player too. 2 of 2 on those two picks will be huge for Rodgers twilight.

He ain’t the bomb if he ain’t on the field. Watson is soft and fragile.

what did watsons first two drops of the game look like?

the first long TD pass he had kinda looked like he had problems finding it again. it was a high lob and he actually caught it with his inner elbows.

then on the third TD, it was a dart right to him, and he tracked it and caught it perfectly

any chance his problems come from the high lobs that rodgers throws. losing in the lights or sun or domes are just not knowing how to turn his head right?

its hard to catch a fly ball if you haven't played baseball in awhile or have never done it before. same with fielding a punt.

maybe he just needs some time adjusting to rodgers flight trajectory

Oooof....the Amari Rodgers stuff from June is painful to read. I hadn't scrolled back far enough to see anything to shame myself, but I own him in a dynasty league, so comments weren't necessary.

[bobblehead]

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.

Sometimes I amuse myself...but I defy anyone to tell me I was wrong.

I thought he looked decent before his injury this year. Since he came back he looks like he's either not 100%, or he's afraid to run all out for fear of injuring the hamstring again. Which is exactly what happened to him last year. Got hurt and hardly had any catches after he came back from the injury. His snap count is going down (22/36% last night), so maybe we'll see Toure more.

I think Sammy Watkins should have been cut in camp. He looks like ass, is not a long term player, and shouldn't play anymore this year if they're tanking. For a #3 overall pick, what a bust of a career.

[Jaire]

Watson (to change the subject) is flashing what he can do. The three rooks have a bright future. I do hope AR finishes his contract. If they get some more OL help next draft, the offense can flourish again. Just a rough year, as was predicted. Not a great plan: crossing their fingers and hoping it would work out.

They need time, but the rooks are very dedicated and will develop faster than most, barring injuries.

The near term future is bright. Get a new DC and they can be competitive the next two years, esp with a little help on the line.

Oh, if we are tanking he needs to see every snap.

I am 100% convinced the horses up front are on the roster. They just need to play together and be consistent. Jenkins probably needs the off season to get right. Bak has FINALLY strung together some nice starts. Tom is going to be a stud.

[run pMc]

They have the pieces on the OL if they can stay healthy. Contracts could be an issue. I like Tom. I expect 2 out of Njiman, Bahk, and Jenkins are gone this offseason because they can't keep them all.

As for the WRs - Watkins looked better pre-injury. He's had a few moments but overall agree he looks slow or hurt. He's done.
Two good consecutive games for Watson is a very good sign. I think Watson, Doubs, and Toure could make for a good group if they continue to develop. They need more help at receiver though.

I thought the same thing. If we're tanking, bench Christian Watson!
