I've said it over and over. Forget need. Just look at talent. I'm more confident Watkins can be a stud for the next ten years than any other player.
I think he's both one of the safest picks in the draft while also being one of the players with the highest ceilings
...of all things using the term safest with any WR pick is crazy. No position crashes and burns like these guys. The funny thing is in the Evans thread we will be unstoppable because our WRs are tall,here we will be unstoppable because he is fast. Are WRs just "easier" toLike than other spots because it seems every year a large crowd is always about drafting the latest hotness at WR.
Yet people are falling over themselves for Manziel. He is probably the riskiest pick since Tebow.
Watkins at 7 is a no-brainer. We need a lot of things but nothing helps your O-Line, or your QB like a guy that can take a 7 yd hitch 75 yds for a TD. Hey fellow Bucs fans wouldnt it be great to see some one, two or three-play drives along with Lovie and Leslie's defense? If he's there, Watkins at 7 is non-issue, we take him with a smile
He is a game changer.
I fear his huge bowl game will tempt a team to jump up and draft him...

Me too. Only good thing is if Bortles declares then there are 3 QBs project in the top 5 picks plus Carr. Clowney and Matthews are projected as top picks. And you still have Barr, and Mack. Hopefully the WR isn't a priority or at least not viewed as worth the price to move up.
Just don't see a team going WR before us. So much need at QB OL and DE. Two of the 3 out of Barr Mack and Watkins will be there
Proud of him I hope the Bucs would consider bringing him back home
Can we make this a sticky. Really want to see Sammy in pewter he is like a large version of Desean Jackson, who happened to shine at Cal under Tedford.
Sammy Watkins has declared for the draft
He should be the BPA available at 7.
You gotta consider the Oakland Raiders and the Rams for Watkins. I don't see the Rams taking him though since they already took Tavon Austin in the top 10 just last year but you never know. Oakland loves those big, fast, lanky WR's but they are the ideal spot for Clowney out of all teams. They could go just about any direction. There's a good shot Watkins is there at #7 and I honestly would take him without thinking twice. Its a passing league and you need at least 3 WR threats unless your name is Brady. If one of our WR's go down again next year the passing game will go down the toilet. Not only that Sammy can flourish in the #3 spot and takeover as the #1 in a couple years when VJAX contract is over. Tedford would go nuts with his game-planning with him on the field. Gotta keep those safeties honest and boy would he open up the rest of the field for the rest of the offense.
Not sure if Oakland loves those big fast lanky WR since Al Davis died.
Glad to see most people are on board with Sammy now. I hope he is there when we pick.
Need a QB more than Watkins. Watkins is nice. But Bucs need a proper gunslinger. Manziel is that guy. Worth the risk.
Are you saying take Manziel at 7 or give up a kings ransom to get him?
