That opinion is one of the most logical ones for the drafting of Watts and Reed because I do not see a defense that has Watts and Reed along with Smith, Barwin and Mario. Well maybe if Watts played NT. Other wise there is not enough position on the field.
But this is the same team that currently has 5 TE signed for next season, and did not appear to be a player on the cut player signings after the season.
