They also didn't track arm velocity when Brees/Brady were at the combine.

I called it average prior to all the combine stuff; I was never a fan of his arm strength.
And no, I really can't but I haven't gone through all his throws. I just can't see any way that having a below average arm isn't going to impact him on timing routes. The WCO has all those short, quick routes where space is tight; if you can't fire it in there, you're operating with no margin for error.
And I'm aware they didn't track velocity then, but they've been able to determine it now. You're not using Brady or Brees as prospects, you're using their pro performances to support your argument. As a pro, Brady can hit 60 so he's really not the argument you're wanting to make here.
And if you draft Watson hoping for Brees, you're a hell of a lot more likely to get Pat White for your efforts.
