I’d be very happy with either of these guys.

"Love this kid!!

Just wish he had more than the one big year. His acceleration is perhaps best I've seen this year other than the Alabama kid (Henry Ruggs). No, he's not even close to Ruggs when you talk about speed. Just great in open space. For someone who hasn't played this position too long he's really advanced. Doesn't run every route...did do a good job of selling on some. Will return punts. Really good at it."

"Yeah, not an X, really. See him as a Z or slot. Like the TCU kid (Jalen Reagor), very strong with ball in his hands though that kid is built more compact. What's also important for us is that he tracks the ball so well. It's almost hard to believe he's that good at it since he hasn't been at wide receiver as long as the other guys. Wired really well which will be important for what's ahead. If he had another year (of production), he's going in first for sure. Don't see weaknesses, per se. Just not in that first group. Surgery not a big deal. Will be good by June."

"I'm sure you know this if you're talking to a lot of guys. Get him in space and he's gone. Think he played running back as a kid or something. That probably has something to do with the way he plays. Here's something you should know: Some plays that he had to wait for the ball to come down. You can see that on TV. Don't need what we get to see to understand. Think about that just for a minute: Best with RAC (run after the catch) and there were plays that he had to wait on from the QB. As for concerns? Just don't see him as a lead guy, but man he does have a chance to be REALLY good. Routes OK, not great. He's like a lot of these kids...just not going to run a ton of NFL routes. Very few of them come in right away and can run our routes. This takes time."

QUEZ WATKINS

(6'0/185)

Watkins was a very productive wideout when he was on the field for the Golden Eagles, and then posted the second-fastest 40-yard dash time at 4.35 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I might be a little higher on him than some others you talk to because I saw improvement and I see areas of his game that can keep getting better with time and work," an NFC Scout told Zierlein. The NFL Media analyst noted that Watkins improved in his ability to make contested catches, and that he's at his best working through zones. The concern is whether he can separate from press coverage, but Zierlein believes that the reward is there for him to be a Day 3 selection who can be a fourth-or-fifth wide receiver.

Watkins came into testing with little fanfare, but ended the evening having posted the second-fastest 40-yard dash of any receiver in Indianapolis(4.35). Only Henry Ruggs (4.27 seconds) ran faster. That speed showed on the field in the fall, with the Southern Miss wideout averaging 18.6 yards per reception.

In the 20-yard shuttle, Watkins ran a 4.36, which was 11th-best among wide receivers. He also had a measurement of 36.5 inches in his vertical jump and 125 inches on his broad jump.

Watkins should be selected on the third day of the draft, according to NFL analyst Lance Zierlein. Watkins need to do a better job of getting away from press coverage, Zierlein said.

"Early-entry prospect with adequate size and speed but needs to prove he can rise to the occasion against NFL competition," the analyst wrote for NFL.com. "Watkins' confidence has been affected by level of competition and his catch focus appears to change when he works into traffic."
