I kinda differentiate between the two fwiw.
Yes, Tyreek had the situation in college which was obviously fairly horrible. But he was young and by all accounts it was an isolated incident. And people at that age are more prone to make mistakes and have more room to grow and improve. (Note: I'm ignoring both the possibility that the situation in college was less bad than it appeared as well as the stuff that happened with his son a few years ago.)
Watson on the other hand seems to have a serial problem in this respect. Not a one-time thing. And to me that plays a little bit different.
I'd hate to be a Browns fan needing to defend the guy. Here you are, a fan of a team that for years has been a loser but at least a loveable loser that fans of opposing teams could actually support (not unlike the Bengals), and you suddenly skip the line because you're willing to pay more than anyone else for Watson.
Yeah, I wanted the Chiefs to win, but if we did it by getting Watson, the SB victory wouldn't have been remotely as satisfying.
