This kid is a project and that plays right into belichicks hands. He may slide simply because his body is not ready. Belichick could grab him in the 3rd round if his spies show him slipping due to readiness. Love this kid and especially it leaves our 1st 2 picks available for immediate needs like CB / LB. He very well could be the best WR taken in this draft 3 years down the line. WR does not have many elite players this year...so the good ones are likely to slide duw to draft value when a team's pick comes up....IE "The best player available"...will usually be at another position.

Todd Watkins is a tall, slender receiver with excellent speed. He has reportedly been clocked as fast as 4.28 in the 40 and is one of the most dangerous deep threats in college football. He runs crisp routes and has very good hands. He does a good job of adjusting to the ball while it is in the air and catches the ball with his hands at its highest point. He will make the tough catch in traffic and is very skilled at getting yards after the catch once the ball is in his hands. He lacks a great deal of experience at the division I level, having only played the past two seasons for BYU after transferring from Grossmont Junior College. He isn’t a very physical receiver—He needs to add bulk and increase his strength to use his body rather than just his speed to gain separation. He struggles getting off the line off scrimmage against the jam and needs to improve his blocking to become a more complete receiver at the professional level. Although he has some areas of his game he needs to work on, Todd Watkins’ big play ability cannot be ignored. He should be among the top receivers selected in the 2006 NFL draft.
