Sammy Watkins of Clemson

[Ochmed Jones]

Could be available when we pick in the first round. Given the sorry state of our current receiving corp. (Banana-dola and the three rookies) Watkins would be an immediate upgrade.

Meh. I say wait until December. If things are STILL "sorry," THEN consider taking a receiver early.

Wouldn't Sammy Watkins be another rookie though?

Watkins is an exciting player but I have to think that if BB didn't take a first round receiver in the last draft considering the need then, I don't think he'll take one next year.

Defensive tackle and interior OL needs to be our biggest needs going into this draft. Our DL is a Vince Wilfork injury away from being pathetic and we have nobody in the wings.

On the interior OL, Logan Mankins is 31, Wendell is a bit underpowered and Connolly is slightly above average.

Sammy Watkins is a beast and I think he'll be a pretty special player and a very high pick. I hope we aren't in the range of being able to pick him though.

Agreed. I'd like to think at least one of Dobson, Boyce or Thompkins will have a similar 2nd year jump like Ridley/Vereen did.

I can see a lot of the 'top wide receivers' in next years class falling down the board. Marquise Lee, Cody Hoffman, Brandon Coleman. But Watkins? Not really seeing it.
