Official 2017 NFL Draft - Round 1 Thread

[Roy P]

So happy Mahomes is off the board. Keeping my fingers crossed the somebody takes Watson so we take Davis Webb.

[Roy P]

Trading up to #12 for Watson?

[Warren]

They're all in

[Arky]

Keith called it!

What are they giving up?

[chuck]

Dumbasses.

[popanot]

WTF. Lets just give up all of next years picks. My gosh.

[chuck]

Everyone around the league is laughing saying lolololol Texans gonna Texan.

People have been saying that Ricky has been in total control over the draft and this makes that pretty clear.

This is how a frachise cements suckitude.

[chuck]

So in 2018 they're going to implement the veer. That's the good news. The bad news is they won't have any picks to draft the seven running backs they're going to need.

[Nconroe]

I love the Watson pick for QB. Super leader.

They likely have quite a few compensatory picks next year.

I think we gave up less than Chicago or KC gave for their trade up.

Coverage seems positive on NFL network to me.

And now I can go to bed early.

[chuck]

This guy comes from a one read offense. I can't wait to see him in BOB's Stephen Hawking devised scheme.

Seems some others on the Board have a couple reservations about the pick Nconroe, but I really don't have any idea what kind of an NFL QB Watson will be ?

[bikerack]

From my friend....

"This pick was all OB. If he goes down, it will be swinging. Watson was the most mature kid I met this draft season."

[Nconroe]

Nobody know for sure. I heard earlier in evening of last 21 QB drafted in first round, 4 seem franchise good but haven't won SB. Eight are out of league already.

Got this analysis off Jets site.
PRO: He's a winner
There is no doubt about this. He led Clemson to a monumental win in the national championship game this past season against Alabama. Watson played with poise throughout the game, in which he completed 36 of 56 passes for 420 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. That is impressive, big-game stuff.

CON: Interceptions
He threw 17 of them last season and 13 in 2015. The Jets have experienced major problems in recent seasons with their quarterbacks throwing too many interceptions — from Mark Sanchez to Geno Smith to Ryan Fitzpatrick. If the Jets draft Watson, will they be able to cut down on his picks?

Deshaun Watson's scouting report
From NFL.com: "Teams will have to weigh the inconsistent field vision and decision-making against his size, athleticism, leadership and production. While not perfect, teams can add checks to both arm and accuracy boxes for Watson. However, discussions about whether or not his areas of improvement can be corrected will likely determine whether a team will view him as a high-upside prospect or a franchise quarterback. Watson's transition from Clemson's offense to a pro-style attack will obviously take time, but his combination of intangibles and athletic ability make him worth a first-round selection."

[Arky]

Wow, so including the Brock deal, Cleveland gets our next years #1 and #2. Texans won't pick till the 3rd round....

At any rate, Texans have taken their first 1st round QB since one D Carr.
