    No shit, this class no real franchise QB available. He is the best one available, but he is going to be a career backup.

    Went out on a limb there.

    But knowing how stupid NFL GMs are, some team will take the UNC QB ahead of Watson.

    After watching all of his games... He's going to die behind an average o-line, he has no pocket awareness

    He completely lacks pocket presence but y'all will use the word "clutch" to believe he's a first round pick. How did johnny manziel do without an elite defense?

    It's like y'all forgot how he played in the first half of the championship game or the whole season

    Edit:

    According to Pro Football Focus, 232 of Watson’s 420 yards on Monday came on throws that traveled 9 yards or fewer, including those caught behind the line of scrimmage. He was 26-of-32 passing on those attempts. On the rest of his passes, Watson was 10-of-24 for 188 yards, and he had more success throwing deeper passes to the left — mostly to Mike Williams — than he did to the right side of the field.

    UNC QB has pocket awareness and can throw in short windows.

    I haven't watched much of him but it seems like Watson can make all of the throws but his consistency will be a problem. Mike Evans made Manziel look better than he really was and Mike Williams has done the same for Watson.

    Also he didn't have to go through his progressions very much. Usually it was a short pass or locking onto the primary receiver for a longer pass. Sometimes it seemed like he'd take off running as his 2nd option though his OL wasn't as good as it was last year.

    Hardly saw the NC QB play but his 1 year of starting reminded Roddy White of Blaine Gabbert (cbssports.com/nfl/news/roddy-white-cautions-nfl-about-mitch-trubisky/) and Mark Sanchez is another notable QB who had 1 great year as a starter before being drafted too high.

    If I was an NFL GM, I'd probably draft someone like Brad Kaaya later rather than taking a high pick risk on a 1 year starter.

    My jeans also get awfully tight when I think about Sam Darnold so I'd hold my fire instead of going for it all with Mitch a year earlier.

    Kaaya is awful.

    Why you're not an NFL GM

    No KOMO4 required.
