00:00Where would Christian Watson fall, who's going around him, and whom would you rather have?
00:08Well, Watson currently is going at wide receiver 40, which is kind of absurd because if you look at the consensus, DeAndre Hopkins, who again, this will probably adjust after the injury.
00:17But the fact that they were even going close to each other, I think is absurd.
00:20You're talking about a wide receiver who is up there in age on a transitioning Titans team with a new offense in place.
00:26I think there's a lot of questions there.
00:28Hollywood Brown.
00:29Okay, yeah, he plays with Patrick Mahomes, but he's not the talent that Christian Watson is.
00:34Jackson Smith and Jigba going in that same range.
00:37Now, JSN, definitely a talent.
00:39Pedigree from Ohio State.
00:40All the things you're looking for in NFL wide receiver.
00:43But what's the quarterback situation there?
00:45Ain't Jordan Love and Gino Smith is already also dealing with an injury of his own.
00:48And he's still behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in terms of theoretical target share.
00:53Now, JSN could take over for Tyler Lockett this year.
00:55That could happen, but it hasn't happened yet.
00:58So once you get past Terry McLaurin around 30, you've got guys like DeAndre Hopkins, Hollywood Brown, JSN, and then there's Christian Watson kind of sitting in that middle.
01:08And to me, Watson is the guy that I would circle and say, can you see this player grossly outperforming this ADP easily?
01:16And the answer is yes.
01:18It's just a matter of health.
01:19It's just a matter of health when it comes to Christian Watson.
01:21The quarterback play is there.
01:22The need for an alpha wide receiver is there.
01:25He's got a lot of guys to take the burden off of him too, where he's going to see a lot of single coverage.
01:29Watson lines up very well this year and is an extreme value.
