I think that the two players are quite close. I think Jordan is the better choice for experience, strength, and tape. I think that will make a lot of people like him more than I think they should. He's run his course athletically and I vew him as a solid starting role player. Nothing more, nothing less. 34's that don't rely on d-lineman as much as NE could make him into a valuable player.
Watt is the textbook "oooh shiny!" player that some (including myself) easily fall for. He has the prototypical size, prototypical technique, plus burst, plus agility, and the awareness to be a ball batting machine. Incredible agility for his size, closes the backside and clogs the lanes on boots or reverse option passes. Relentless in pursuit, shoestrings guys others can 't because of his height and wingspan. He can play end in the 34 for depth as a rookie and play every d-line position in sub. No other 34 end is capable of that this year. The only real Seymour type prospect for a right end since Seymour. Only problem? Strength. He is lacking it a bit, but given his conversion happened only a year ago I'm willing to accept that. Throw in a limited sample size and the debate between him and Jordan becomes a wash.
The one thing that would sway me in this wash is intangibles. One is a highschool bluechip son of a pro-bowler described as a locker room clown with work ethic concerns. The other is a walk-on who won the Lott IMPACT award, started a foundation before he made money, and was a two year consecutive academic all big 10 athlete. Gimme the Walkon.
