That the guy he's replacing was a third-round pick - pretty high for a guard to be taken. I mean, you're right, but it sure looks like Rhyan is going to be their swing IOL, as Joe said. Hell, train him up at center and see how he does. What if he's the center of the future? Though Mike Wahle was gushing about Monk, so I'm guessing he'll be starting at center next year.
You have higher expectations than I do for this round picks.
Watson got banged up a couple of times, but was in at the end. He seemed to be okay.

It's mostly because the guard position is generally not seen as a high-value spot, so when you pick one in the third round, I'd have thought the team would have some high expectations for him. If he were a quarterback or even a receiver I wouldn't have the same expectations as I do for a guard in the third round.

Yet you Doubters think Watson is going to be THE GUY. He is never going to be that. He can be a big play machine used in spurts. He can’t seem to take the pounding this level dishes out. Time for all of you to realize he isn’t the 1 or the 2. Get the fuck out da way for Doubs you Watson groupies.

he couldn't take the pounding at the college level either

There's nothing anyone disagreed with in your post. Everyone knows he's had injuries and that might be his legacy. What people are saying is always in the context of if he can avoid injuries.
That being said, his hamstring injuries have nothing to do with the pounding of the NFL.

He missed the last few games of his senior season with a hamstring injury. Other than that, he was healthy.

He was something like the 7th guard and the 16th OL in the draft. I expect a solid backup, and hope for a multi year starter.
i thought he got banged up in college too, but i can't find anything on it
so i'm probably wrong
Maybe he was bonged up.
