Also needs to be said that if there was a redraft of the entire league..... Brady is 39 years old, Rodgers will be turning 33 this year, and Newton just lost a SB due to running away from a fumble in the 4th quarter.

As for Watt vs Brown: Brown needs a good QB to be good. Watt doesn't need anybody else to be good. It's not a coincidence that Brown averaged 4.25 catches/58.75 yards/0.00 TDs in the four games Roethlisberger was out and 9.91 catches/133.25 yards/0.83 TDs in the 12 games with Roethlisberger.

Meanwhile JJ Watt had a broken hand and still led the NFL in sacks, AND is only 27.



If there was a redraft of the entire league, I would probably go JJ Watt with my first pick, Aaron Donald with my 2nd pick (over Geno only because he's 3 years younger), and maybe Khalil Mack with my 3rd pick. After that is when I would worry about a QB. I'm sure I could get an Andy Dalton or Blake Bortles then pretty easily, but the point would be, it doesn't matter who my opponents have at QB because they would never be healthy/standing upright.
