Here’s what I’ve seen at training camp so far. We’re going to have a roster projection, but I wanted to offer a sense of performance rather than the practical in/out calculation.
I prefer to start with the bad:
Stock down
Jordan Watkins
Every ball looks like it catches him off guard. He seems to catch everything in his armpit, if he does catch it. What worries me is what I said to Dieter. He’s got a Ladd McConkey-esque mold and similar usage when he’s on the field. But McConkey has tremendous hands and craft. I don’t trust anything about Watkins going over the middle. His contested catch rate is abysmal, and that’s worrying when he’s the guy who should be the beneficiary of Ricky Pearsall missing the season.
