Was Watts as fast as Parrish (4.4)?I like the offense the Bills are building, they are a couple of OL and a possession WR away from being a playoff caliber team. Parrish fills his stretch-the-field role well, and Losman throws a decent deep ball. Roscoe needs quite a bit of polish to be mentioned with SS. Steve Smith is a once in a generation type wide receiver.
Looks like 'Sco is about a 1/2 step faster.Watts draft profile from SI
ARIUS WATTS Position: WR Class: SrSchool: Marshall Conference: MAC Ht., Wt.: 6'1½, 18840 Time: 4.45Grade: 3.54Selected by Denver Broncos Round 2, pick 22 (54 overall) BIO: All-conference selection every season since his sophomore campaign. Suffered with a leg injury as a senior but still posted 74/968/11 after 71/1,030/12 the prior year. Exploded onto the national stage posting 91/1,417/18 as a sophomore in 2001.POSITIVES: Explosive pass-catcher that breaks games wide open when focused. Quick route runner that gets separation from defenders, adjusts to the oncoming throw and displays good eye-hand coordination. Plays much faster than his 40 time and has the ability to switch it on then run away from opponents down the field. Tracks the deep ball or gets vertical to make the acrobatic reception. Uses the sidelines well and elusive running after the reception. Instinctive wide out that finds the open spot on the field or gets past the yard markers on third down.NEGATIVES: Continually lets the pass get inside him and cradles it against his body. Does not always come away with the tough grab in traffic. Lazily rounds off his routes at times.ANALYSIS: Not known as a tough receiver willing to do the extras to make himself a better player, Watts has the underlying skills to be an explosive receiver at the next level should he decide to take his game to the next level.PROJECTION: Early Fourth Round ------------------------------------------------------------------------------I loved Watts' quickness, but his lack of hands cost him his job. He could get open against Champ Bailey almost at will. However, he would then drop a pass right in the bread basket. :shrugs:I agree that 'Sco needs quite a bit of shine. He's a raw athlete with playmaking ability. I don't see him ever becoming more than a slot receiver.
The post and the title are, as they say, inconsistent.
Price has looked better in Buffalo this year than he had in Atlanta, he's the #2.
