I think JuJu would have pushed to stay and Watson's mobility would have covered up some of the o-line issues. The team would have been an immediate contender...
    We would have had Watson and none of the other FAs, though, minus a ton of picks. And maybe Watson for only half a season.

    Put Jordan Davis and Desmond Ridder on this team and they're legit.

      In my mind, it's pairing TJ, Cam and Minkah while we have all-pro talent with him. It would have created a VERY short window of opportunity.

      Side Note: I'm not exactly sold on Ridder, my money's on Corral to be the best of the bunch...

        Granted, I used CB as my examples, but you get the point.
        I'll take 8-10 years of quality starting play from a 1st round pick everyday. Especially if you throw a couple Pro Bowls in there.

        You also have to look at how teaming Hamilton and Minkah would create problems for offenses. It's not just about what the one guy does but how he fits in the puzzle

          I'd be fine with Davis and Corral, too, just thinking Corral will go in the 1st.
