McVay changed the offense.
They could have done a lot more, both short and long term, with the pick.
Subtract Watkins from 2017 and IMO nothing changes that much. If anything it might have been better.
There is still time for them to do a lot, short and long term, with the Watkins pick since they haven't used it yet.
It's only a difference of about 30 picks. And the reality is, Snead's 2nd and 3rd round hit percentages are about equal.
You may be right that without Watkins nothing changes but I tend to trust the coach on this one. He said it was a must for his offense to have a guy who handled the Watkins role. Who would that have been if not for Watkins?
