Might as well go back to the well at NDSU for another guy, this time a quality BIG receiver with plenty of speed to get downfield in a hurry. I've seen his name tossed around a few times so I'm surprised that he doesn't have a thread yet. Pretty much a perfect fit for the 49ers offense and he already has some built in chemistry with Lance as he was his favorite target in 2019. The other positive is that he's been used in every conceivable way at NDSU. The way Kyle uses Deebo is pretty much how Watson was utilized. It wasn't unusual for him to line up outside, in the slot, out of the backfield...etc. He was also an effective kick returner for the Bison. A big play guy that can get up for passes and be a serious redzone threat, I expect him to wind up going anywhere from the late 2nd to late 4th round. Reminds me of Kittle coming out of college in that he was underutilized as a receiver in a very run heavy offense. Tremendous upside for the NFL and could really be the missing piece to the 49ers WR group. He's basically everything that Shanahan was hoping for from Hurd, but also quite raw as a receiver. If they are confident that he can greatly improve his route running skills, he could become a huge steal. Please welcome WR Christian Watson @ChristianW2017 from @NDSUfootball to the 2022 @Reeses Senior Bowl!!! #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ @JimNagy_SB @PaniniAmerica #RatedRookie pic.twitter.com/WahZnl78cb— Reese's Senior Bowl (@seniorbowl) January 6, 2022Ok, I watched Christian Watson w/ Trey Lance. THIS IS DIFFERENT. Look how quickly he's at top speed, the twitch and the body control. This run shows me so much. Tall guys don't do this. pic.twitter.com/hpDdKBW8XS— Matt Alkire (@mattalkire) November 16, 2021Feel like we've probably said this a few times before, but ......Christian Watson. TO. THE.

Closes a cushion and runs by CBs with ease. So fluid. Zero strain. #NFL scouts will be watching the 6'4" deep threat in today's FCS nat'l title game vs. Montana St. 📺 ESPN2 at 12 pm ET.#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/I3kVfv4vkO— Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) January 8, 2022

May take a couple years for this guy to get going.. Rodgers playing status at that point will be a beautiful mystery..

#Packers rookie WR Christian Watson said his knee started feeling sore running and cutting on routes late in OTAs. He thought about playing through it, but ultimately he and the team decided on surgery. Watson had no timeline for when he'd be off PUP, but says it's "day by day."

Christian Watson had another drop against air in drills today. His hands have definitely been questionable. I don't think there's been a practice yet where he hasn't dropped at least one pass. Does it matter much? Prob not - but noteworthy at least.

Christian Watson is, in fact, the perfect replacement for Marquez Valdes-Scantling pic.twitter.com/7MUgB10VIu
