2017 Draft Prospects

Foxsports.com mock draft

DeShaun Watson - QB - Clemson

This totally depends on how contract negotiations go with Kirk Cousin, obviously, but if Cousins is franchise tagged for a second year or signs elsewhere, Watson, who showed a lot of guts in the National Championship Game, would be a great fit here.

(Washington could also go with Jabrill Peppers in this spot — there are few teams that could assimilate him easily, and Jay Gruden’s team is one of them.)

Needs: Safety, linebacker, defensive line, running back


Thoughts?

If we let Cousins go and Watson is there at 17 we have to take him. He's underrated if you ask me. He's a winner. Winners are good for the QB position.

For our sake, I like that mock.
But then RG!!! starts for Cleveland next year?

I'm a FSU fan, I've seen a lot of Cook. He's a freaking game changer. Best player in the draft if you ask me. He doesn't have fumbling problems. Just YouTube the Orange Bowl and watch him turn 3rd and 21 into a 71 yard run and 1 inch away from a TD. If we have Cousins locked up and he's there at 17 I'd cry if we didn't get him. And it's not like it's not a position of need. We need another back.


Cook is a beast. No doubt about that and I believe he could boost our running game. He has a great attitude and plays hard every down but in my opinion, there so much rich defensive talent in the first round and I don't see how we can afford not to take a defensive talent in the first round. I think the defensive line and secondary has to be our two biggest needs to fill in the first two or three rounds.

Kinda similar to what I said responding to your Cook comment. I think we should be thinking defense but if we don't have Cousins' then that might change the whole mind set of what we will need in the first round.

There are definitely arguments to going defense at 17. But if either of those guys are there they'd be the BPA at that point.

FWIW reportedly Alabama OLB/DE Tim Williams failed several drug tests..... his stock is dropping.

Yet he played in the NCAA championship game
