Isn't Watkins eligible to have the 5th year team option picked up since he's a 1st rounder?

I wanted Watkins or Matthews!!!!
That's alright I got a feeling Marquise Goowin and Aldrick Robinson will ball out this season!!!!!
Would have liked Watkins over Matthews we have a ton of a slot guys. I'm fine with who we got going into this season

Hopefully there was an attempt on our part and the price was too steep.
Why would the 49ers want either of those players?
Fans overhype mediocre players on other teams. If Watkins or Matthews were on this roster people would treat them like we treated Torrey Smith last year.
For others Idk, me I wanted dude (pause) while coming out of college. Dont see our current WR's as markedly better either, enough room imo to add another. At the right price of course.

We're chalk full of slot WRs he blows oh the outside...would rather have Watkins all day
Totally, would've so rather have Watkins
Not for a 2nd rd pick and having to pay him in a yr though....he's a top 20 WR when he plays but he never does.

Yea cuz that Woods and Watkins duo has certainly set the NFL ablaze in previous seasons.
This is Snead trying to save his job. I hope it works. I'm not the least bit worried about this trade.
I would be furious if the 9ers traded Robinson and a 2nd for Watkins. The foot injury is a concern, now add the fact he is a free agent next season. Not a franchise tag player. What are you going to do when Watkins wants $55/5 years? Or $44/4? Based on his youth and "potential". No thanks. Give me the combined 7 years of control of Robinson and the 2nd rounder.
Casual fans overreact because they watched Watkins destroy in college and get selected 4th overall. He must be great right? Bottom line, whether injury, QB play, or his own lack of ability to play at a high level, Watkins hasn't shown he can live up to the billing....yet.

I still don't understand why the hell the Bills traded Ronald Darby. He's one of the best young corners in the league.
Bills are idiots.
No chance in hell I trade Darby for Mathews and a third.

My only guess is they really like Tredavious White and we're scared of eventually having to pay Darby

Your sarcasm is awesome.
You act like he totally sucked in the NFL. Yes his injury may be a cause for concern but I'm sure the Rams gave him a clean bill of health before trading for him or at least he showed it last night.
This trade helps the Rams cause....who is the second best receiver on that team? Go ahead and say Tavon Austin so I can LOL. You act like the Rams paid a top 10 pick for him they gave up a 2nd round pick for a young starting receiver with potential. And if you think it's gonna be a one year rental think again, would a team really give up a 2nd round pick for a one year rental?
