Yahoo Sports: 2. Deshaun Watson, Clemson — 6-2, 221 — Clutch touch passer with athletic gifts who leads quietly but can carry team on his back despite lacking rare arm talent
NFL Analysis: Watson took Clemson to back-to-back National Championships against Alabama in 2015 and 2016, winning the second time around in thrilling fashion. Watson can sling it, but battles streaks of inconsistent accuracy. This was partly to blame for his 17 interceptions in 2016, though to his credit he cleaned up his act over the final five games. Of his four INTs in that span, two were tipped, his receiver fell down on one, and the other was a great defensive play. Back to Watson, he shows great poise in the pocket and displays excellent touch and anticipation on his throws. He looks like a complete quarterback and will likely push to start in Week 1 this season. His running ability boosts his fantasy value the most, and in the right offense he could be worth a late-round flier in redraft leagues.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "I root for this kid. He's best when the lights are brightest. That's the biggest compliment you can give a quarterback. Watch both Alabama tapes and tell me this kid can't play friggin' ball." -- Mike Mayock
