How do Sammy Watkins measurable values ​​compare to other wide receivers?
This section compares his draft training metrics with players in the same position. The line represents the percentile rank of the player. For example, if the bar is halfway, the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and that would be considered average.
With Watkins, the question is always health. Last year he managed 10 games, 9.4 YPT, 13.0 YPC and two 40-yard catches on just 55 targets. And that doesn’t include the playoffs when he caught 10 of 16 goals in 176 yards in two competitions. With Patrick Mahomes at center, it’s hard not to be effective, and Watkins, still just 26, has the size (6-1, 211) and speed (4.43 40) to play plays. But Watkins struggled early through knee and hip injuries before missing six games with a right leg injury. It wasn’t the same foot he had previously had two surgeries in his career, but Watkins has missed at least three games in three of his last four seasons and appears in the injury report almost every week, i.e. It is rarely full of power. He signed a contract that guaranteed him 30 million dollars last season, so it was concluded as one of the key possibilities for receiving bosses if he stays healthy. Moreover, head receiver Tyreek Hlll, who pleaded guilty in college to assaulting his girlfriend’s home and battery, was investigated for a home battery accident involving his three-year-old son this off-season. If Hill gets discipline from the NFL – or goes the way of Kareem Hunt who was released by the Chiefs for his own off-field transgression – Watkins would be the best player in the league’s best attack. Of course, the world of Travis Kelce is still present, and the bosses won Mecole Hardman with the 56th election, allegedly to fill Hill’s role, so Watkins’ target ceiling is probably limited even if he stays healthy.
Watkins finally had to play in a credible pass, and the results were mixed. On the one hand, he scored eight times on 70 goals, as many TDs as AJ Green, who had 142 odds, and Watkins averaged 15.2 YPC and 8.5 YPT, more than respectable efficiency per game in this dunking the age. On the other hand, he saw only 70 targets, despite competition for market share being third-round rookie Cooper Kupp and his former Buffalo addition, Robert Woods. Why the Aries didn’t feel the need to give Watkins the ball is unclear, but the Chiefs have guaranteed him $ 30 million this season to play against Tyreek Hill, so that should change – to some extent. Hill was the most explosive receiver in the league last year, and Travis Kelce functions closely as a rival. 1, are often placed in the groove. Chiefs also throw their tails well, so if everyone stays healthy, Watkins ’ceiling is relatively modest. But Watkins – who has a good size at 6-1, 211 and an impressive speed (4.43 40) – should have a better floor given his contract and lack of reception depth beyond the aforementioned options. He will have to play with unverified second-year quarterback Pat Mahomes, but that could be of use to him, as Mahomes also hasn’t established a long-term relationship with Hill or Kelce, and has a hand cannon that matches well with Watkins ’(and Hill’s) ability to play on field.
Health is the main – and only – concern of Watkins, who has missed 11 games in the past two seasons. When he played, he was advertised, a great threat of great size, great speed and excellent ball skills. Watkins put those skills to good use in 2015 when he had seven catches for 40 and more on just 96 targets, which is easily the highest rate of a big game in the league. That year he also led the NFL with 10.9 YPT. The question, however, is whether Watkins can endure. In May 2016, he broke his foot bone and drove a bolt. Although it matched for week 1, it was clearly less than full capacity. He tried to play but was ruled out from weeks 2 to 12, after which he ended the season on a still broken bone. Watkins had his second operation in January, and he practiced voluntarily in April before learning that the bills in May refused to select a fifth year of election. Just three months later, he found himself a member of Aries, joining former Bill Robert Woods. Switching from Tirod Taylor to Jared Goff is more likely to inhibit his ability to produce, but if he stays healthy, Watkins is by far the most talented receiver on his new team.
Watkins quietly had a great season in 12.5 games. Watkins was the NFL’s most efficient receiver last year – his 10.7 YPT was first among 40 league WRs in the league, and his 17.5 YPC second. Watkins had six catches of over 40 yards, one less than Antonio Brown at less than half the target. And Watkins scored nine TDs, despite only seven views within 20 and four within 10. That should change in 2016, as Watkins has seen all of his targets from the red zone in his last six games and all of his targets within-10. in the final five. His relationship with first-year starter Tyrod Taylor improved significantly in the second half – Watkins have had five 100-yard games and double-digit targets in four of the last six in the last nine weeks. Watkins doesn’t depend on targets from the red zone either. With a speed of 4.33 40 in the combine, 4.33 unofficially – and athletically, he can attack from anywhere. And with a 6-1, 211 it has above-average burner size and toughness to be efficient in traffic. With Taylor and Watkins in a joint second season and without serious competition for targets, Watkins should record a significant increase in volume. If it comes close to last year’s efficiency, be careful. Watkins had foot surgery in May, and although he returned during the preseason, it still poses a certain risk. (Before the news, it was our number 6 WR.)
Given that Watkins struggled with nagging injuries and playing a weaker quarterback during his rookie season, it was a promising professional debut. He barely missed being the ninth rookie to break the 1,000-meter hurdle since 2000, but managed to pass 7.7 YPT (22nd among 41 WR league goals) and 15.1 YPC (8th) while playing in the fifth least effective addition to the NFL offense (6.7 JNA). At 6-1, 211, Watkins has a decent size and great speed (the official combination time is 4.43, but unofficially he ran 4.33 and 4.37) and is strong and athletic enough to play controversial games anywhere on the field. Along with Percy Harvin and Charles Clay along with current Robert Woods, Watkins will have more competition for goals this year, and new coach Rex Ryan plans to have a bigger attack behind newly acquired LeSean McCoy. Still, Watkins is a major talent among pass catchers in this group and, if medically permitted, should increase in Year 2. Watkins, who had hip surgery this season, is not expected to participate in the OTAs, but he should be ready to start training camp.
Taken with a fourth overall pick, Watkins should be the main target of the Bill right after Steve Johnson leaves. Watkins ’prospects will largely depend on the development of second-year quarterback EJ Manuel, who has struggled through a beginner year charged with injuries. Moreover, novice recipients rarely have significant impacts – when Keenan Allen broke 1,000 yards last year, he became only the fifth to do so in this millennium. And 1,000 yards isn’t a particularly high strip to clean in the modern NFL – 23 receivers hit that mark in 2013. That said few receiver novices are probably the No. 1 of their teams outside the gate, and few have a decent size Watkins combination ( 6-1, 205), toughness and ignition speed; Watkins ’official time for the NFL combination was 4.43, but unofficially he ran 4.33 and 4.37. The bills have brought in Mike Williams this season from Tampa Bay, and Robert Woods gives a nice possession option, but both profiles are complementary parts.
