saw he's now ranked as the 14th best player on the walterfootball big board....

he's a lot like Watson for Houston....very strong arm & can run like the wind...
I now wish we'd of traded A.D. last yr & picked Watson....
could we do it this yr w/ Jackson...? I doubt it....too big of a change....
same  w/ trading up w/ Tampa for Nelson...
we'll probably sit tight at 12...Pick James....& that's ok I guess....as we could do a lot worse...

reminds me of the old Chinese proverb:
old thinking won't solve new problems...

ie. sometimes we need to try something different...if we want different results

Watson is much more accurate than Lamar Jackson, but Watson did have a better cast of receivers at Clemson compared to what Jackson had at Louisville.

I think a more accurate comp for Jackson might be Mike Vick. Jackson is a few inches taller but about the same weight. Both are less than 60% accuracy passers but dynamic with their scrambling/rushing ability.
