Williams
Cook
McCaffery
Howard



In that order

And tbh, I wouldn't be mad at anyone of those picks

Watson ball velo was 49mph at the combine. The threshold for elite NFL QBs is 55mph.

Mahomes comparatively was at 60. A guy like Cody Kessler 55.

For context 2mph is the equivalent of 3ft net yardage gained/lossed on a 20yd throw over an equal time frame

Easy,

I pick the best pass rusher available and list him as RB/DE on the depth chart. Give the 300 pound freak athlete goal line carries.




otherwise D Watson, OJ Howard, or Mccafery

So he'll just throw 17 yarders instead of 20 yarders.

Corey Davis. Some scouts legitimately think he is the next Antonio Brown, and I'm not satisfied with Ginn as our third option

I think OJ Howard would benefit our offense the most.

Bc they both went to directional schools in Michigan?

Davis is 6'3" 209, Brown is 5'10" 186

Saw that. Almost would prefer taking a shot on Peterman later in the draft, unless somehow Trubisky falls to the 2nd.

Turbisky is a bust waiting to happen. Last guy Mel Kiper hyped up so much before no one heard of him was Christian Ponder.
Merrill Hodge said he doesn't know why he is rated so high lol.

its still debatable how important of a metric it is. people had a good debate on it underneath. again, velocity doesn't equate to arm strength weirdly but i guess its something to take note of.
