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.

I don't see it, and not because he went to Ole Miss. He isn't big enough to be a tight end in the league, and he isn't fast enough to be a WR.

6'3 235 4.42 40. Yea the kid can play and play at a high level in the NFL. You are going to see the giants put him in formations to be matched with a lb.

Didn't Bama slow play him and that is why we were in the picture? Seems like we were #2 but he was waiting on a Bama offer or just wanting Bama to "show more love".

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.

Not to be a dick, but his 40 is faster than ODB. and hes about 4 inches taller. Dude could play outside the numbers imo, cause he aint blocking shit.

Jerry Rice ran a 4.6--just saying.

Jerry Rice also was the best route runner in the history of football.

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!

TBone, I have the memory of a largemouth bass, but I seem to recall Marlon as a 5 Star type, and maybe a top 10-20 Ntnl guy...
MDL is picky, but not THAT picky... I think, perhaps, the kid was just "enjoying the process (recruitment)"....
"It is not courage to resist TUSK; It is courage to accept TUSK."
No.
Easy there buddy. Tusk is...well Tusk is Tusk. Tireddawg 12.20.17

It certainly could be just getting some free trips. I didn't remember if it was an issue of Bama looking at the #1 CB and only taking either/or. I am getting old so I might just be making some shit up in my head.

I agree with that, but the only Super Bowl winning QBs playing in the league have an average of 30.7 on wonderlic. Cant be that bogus.

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)
http://wonderlictestsample.com/nfl-wonderlic-scores/
Dak Presott - 25
Chad Kelly - 22 (not sure how! - must have been high when he took it)
