No, his upside is much, much higher. MVS doesn't have near the agility.
Watson's upside is, well, Megatron.
His floor is wash-out. That's what's scary.
Now maybe you feel like that is more likely-and I'm not sure I disagree with you. I'm really not pounding the table for Watson in the first. I think there's a legitimate, big risk there.
#2 Relative Athletic Score since 1987, behind only Calvin Johnson. In 35 years, that's the only real comparison. #2 out of 2,613.
To downplay that potential is silly.
Now there are very real questions, and yes, it's a big risk and I'm not sure the risk is worth a #1. I think there are safer bets. Much safer.
But if Veach and Andy decide this is their guy after meeting with him, I'll assume they've decided his head is on straight and he's worth it.
Arguments against the athleticism are bogus. Arguments against the production are valid.
This kid will never be a decent #2. He'll either be a star, or a JAG.
