Engram will be a hell of a pro and had first round measurables. I'll give the gm props for making a pick like that.
Now Chicago gm should be fire for getting Mr. I like kissing titties.

He is fast enough at 4.4 - 4.5 speed. He is probably going to be more of a slot mismatch guy than an outside WR. He isn't a good enough blocker to be a true TE but he is going to help Beckham Jr. They still could have gotten him in the 2nd round though. A good bit of defensive talent is going to come off the board in Round 2.
I understand the hate by folks for Engram because he went to OM, but he's by far the most NFL ready talent on their roster in the last 5 years. He runs good routes, he has well above average speed, he's got height, and he catches the football.
I can get the hate for him being from OM, but the kid will do well at the next level. I will say he makes more Pro Bowls than Tunsil, Nkemdiche, and Treadwell put together.
I'll rephrase, even though I think the wonderlic is bogus, and state that Watson is at least articulate when he speaks.
There are intangibles when evaluating QBs that can't be measured. I think Watson has qualities that will help him be successful. The one big help he'll get right out of the gate is that he will be surrounded by talent. Prescott would have sucked last year had he been on the Browns. He was surrounded by talent, which only helped him to succeed. It wasn't the only reason, but it sure helps!
I'll concede that they may have a reason, but there are outliers:
Terry Bradshaw - 16
Dan Marino - 16
Jim Kelly - 15
Wayne Madkin - 14 (HA! - had to include)

Dak Presott - 25
Chad Kelly - 22 (not sure how! - must have been high when he took it)
