On one hand I like Watkins, I watch ACC Ball and know what he can do. The offense would be absolutely sick with Megatron, Tate, and Watkins together. OTOH I remember all those first round WR busts from the Millen years. Also, our secondary is, as we say, a 20-year tire fire.

I think the better move would be to take the best CB available, obviously keeping in mind BPA. Detroit needs a legit CB, bad; and Megatron has Golden Tate now to take some of the pressure off. Watkins will be great, but trading up to take him with your need at CB just doesn't seem wise, in my opinion. Justin Gilbert will most likely be available when Detroit picks first, and that's the direction I would go.
