And I say this because the Rams have given players $$$$ based on potential. Not that I am pining for it. I don't know a lot about Watson. I've watched a few games and some highlights... I don't necessarily see him as an elite QB but maybe McVay/Snead feel like they could make him into one. And Snead will swing for the fences. Snead also doesn't seem to value 1st rounders as much... maybe he feels that with Watson they would be low 1st rounders anyway, and the talent drop-off to the 2nd round pick isn't substantial.
