QB Watson - I don't believe he's got the football IQ to excel at the next level.
DT McDowell - thinking we're overdrafting a bit with him at number 23 overall.
LB Reddick - not sold on the hype, a bit of a workout Warrior. We have bigger needs.
TE Howard - right in our wheelhouse. Proven Player, mis-match nitemare. Strong position of need.
RB McCaffery - Frank Gifford Lite. At 197 lbs. Don't think heither is built for the long haul.
OT Bolles - 2nd Rd. Talent that's getting kicked up the food chain because of a shallow OL pool.
OT Ramczyk - small body of work. Babywhales has dah Skinney on this Prospect.
My two cents...
I mostly agree with this with only a couple of slight changes (just my opinions)
I think you are right about Watson. Very talented athlete, but question his ability to become a cerebral QB instead of an athletic QB....and the cerebral part is what separates the men from the boys in the long haul. I'd take Davis Webb over Watson who I believe has the highest upside of all the QB's, but will need a couple years of NFL mentoring and physical development.
I also think McCaffrey is also right in our wheel house the way OJ Howard is, but do not see his weight as a problem. He would be a dangerous weapon to add to our arsenal and personally, I think he'd become Eli's go-to guy the way Romo always went to Witten when he absolutely needed to move the ball downfield. Witten made Romo in my ever so humble opinion, as he bailed him out over and over and over.
I also think Bolles is 1st round material. I'm just not sold that we should burn our no.1 on an offensive lineman that probably won't be NFL ready for a couple years. I would like the pick to go to a player that will be used extensively from day 1. It's exceedingly rare for an offensive lineman to come out of college and be able to take the next step into the NFL without a ton of work first. The trenches are filled with real men, not just athletes who are used to using their quickness and size advantage during college to over match an opponent. In the trenches, there are almost no over matches....(see Flowers)
