Con te Giolito Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Dallas might be the only team that can stop Rodgers by keeping him off the field. Lately they have gotten carried away with Prescott and not using Zeke. Who knows if that was being done to preserve Zeke for the playoffs or whether their philosophy is shifting, but its been a noticeable trend of theirs.

Prescott has been pretty strong as of late, but they're going to need Zeke to run like crazy to protect that defense. The Cowboys are very talented, but they clearly have an achilles heal in their often anemic pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Jordy Nelson has at least two broken ribs. Ouch. Not that the injury stopped Rodgers on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con te Giolito Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So if Watson makes it past the Browns and 49ers what do the Bears do? Trade down for a boatload of picks? Take Watson themselves? I'm not sure I see him falling out of the top 2 but if it somehow shakes out that way the Bears would be in an ideal spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con te Giolito Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Unless his combine/pro days are abysmal he won't fall further than that. The Alabama defense is littered with pro players and he's shredded it two years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant really say that about Watson. He was pretty much put into the perfect system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and one thing's for sure: Unless Watson gets drafted late in the first round, it's unlikely he gets thrown into as good of a situation as he had in college. Every team picked 4 times before Prescott was taken. Watson is unlikely to be passed on once by each team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I still think there is a chance that Kizer, Watson, Trubinsky go 1-3 (in no particular order). Watson looked like an NFL QB last night. He has issues with his accuracy at times, but he showed that he has the arm to make all the throws (and made quite a few NFL type throws) and also obviously has the athleticism to make plays with his feet as well. He also showed pretty good adversity given how he battled back from the tough start. Guys don't get picked based upon one game, but putting up over 800 yards in two national championship games against one of the elite college defenses can only help his resume.

GoSox05 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Watson is almost surely going to be over drafted. Not sure I would take him in the first round. Not sure he is accurate enough to be an NFL QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he probably was going to go in the 1st anyway (too many teams have QB needs and his resume is pretty good and the tools are all there, albeit, I agree there are concerns about his accuracy...but outside of that he clearly has the NFL arm and plus athleticism). He also has shined on the biggest stages. If he slid through the 1st, I don't see him getting much past the early 2nd round (where any team like the Bears / Niners / Browns...who passed initially on a QB would clearly be going QB at this point). Outside of him getting hurt or doing something dumb off the field, there is no way he is a 3rd or 4th round pick (whether he played in the championship game or not...that is just ridiculous).

Of course, because there are stupid teams that won't be able to pass him up. I'm not ready to take a chance on him with 3 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I dont watch much of any college football because I think it sucks even worse than the NFL product but I do think that accuracy is underrated when teams are drafting the QB position based off of a guy being gifted athletically. From what I understand Watson threw a ton of INT's this past year. We all know what an inaccurate toolsy guy looks like as Bear fans. Not quite what I am looking for. You have to show me both to get drafted in the first or second rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con te Giolito Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'd be shocked if he made it past the top 10. If the Browns, 49ers and Bears are all not interested someone will trade up for him. I think he's a lock for top 3 as long as he does reasonably well in shorts this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
