2017 NFL Draft: KC Kingdom Staff First Round Mock Draft
2017 NFL Draft: KC Kingdom Mock Draft
New York Jets – Trevor Beurman
Clemson. Deshaun Watson. 6. player. 30. The New York Jets have failed to find reliable quarterbacks for as long as I can remember. In this year’s draft they invest in a true winner in Deshaun Watson, who led Clemson to two undefeated seasons and a bowl championship against the college football tyrant Crimson Tide. The road to recovery begins.. Quarterback
Deshaun Watson’s College Career Stats consisted of 814 completions on 1,207 pass attempts for 10,168 yards giving him a 67.4 completion percentage. He had 90 touchdowns versus only 32 interceptions for a 157.5 Quarterback Rating, per Sports Reference College Football.
Staff Reaction:
It looks like the Browns were right to move up for their QB. The Jets have been a disaster at the most important position on the field, and this is a decisive move. With New York signing Josh McCown, there is a buffer for Watson. They definitely needed some kind of an answer here, we’ll see if Watson is it. ~ Ben Almquist
My first reaction to this choice is that the Browns drafting Mitch Trubisky forced the Jets hand. However, the pick does make a lot of sense. Newly signed Josh McCown is the presumptive starter right now but he’s not a guy to build your team around. Deshaun Watson has all of the potential in the world. He’s shown the ability to thrive under pressure in the college atmosphere. ~ Jesse Holt
