Answering your questions below…. I evaluate wrs based on what I think is a good fit for mahomes. I think mahomes does best when he has wrs with separation. He’s been unlucky with tipped balls and can get in his own head. But mahomes has performed best with wrs that can create separation so that’s the wrs I look for. I evaluate my own guys. My opinions maybe wrong but they are mine. I can be swayed with good arguments. I didn’t like watson at first. Small school, lack of comp, drops, limited routes…. But the more I watched him, he’s got athletic traits that translate to one of the best wrs in the nfl. Will that happen? I don’t know. And to answer your question, pickens has great hands. His drop rate is really low. Pickens also tracks the ball well on deep routes. He also high points the ball well. Watson is more of a question mark in some areas but I’m comfortable with him coming year one and becoming our gadget guy. Watson played rb quite a bit. He’s got speed at every level. His burst and short area quickness are sick as well as his top end speed. Watson shows the athletic ability to get coached up on his route tree. He hasn’t been asked to run very many routes and has tended to round those off. But when you watch him with the ball in his hands, he’s got the feet and athletic ability to get better. He’s a small school guy with elite athletic traits that can be coached up. Until he’s coached up, he can be our gadget guy and get better over time.

I like Watson too, he was one of the first guys i was really in on.
But wait one goddamn second now, that boy has some issues that are concerning to me too. There's some things that Pickens is simply better at than Watson.
And after reading your evaluation of Pickens i gotta say, most of that is simple not true.
I couldn't disagree more with your evaluation of Pickens.
Let me ask you this though, what do YOU think Watson needs to improve on?
