Add in the threat of being a rusher in spots or even having screens drawn up for him and Watson is not just a deep gadget type guy like many envision.I don't say all this to oversell him, but there isn't a rookie out there that likely year 1 comes in and does all for the offense that Watson does right now when healthy I think is too much to ask a rookie. I don't personally see a FA out there that could likely step in and do his role either...the best WR targets like Godwin, Slayton or even if you want to bring in Higgins are not in the same vein as Watson.</blockquote>
