Patriots also have some interesting things to say about Todd Watkins, rating him as the #7 receiver in the draft. According to patriots.com:
Watkins definitely has the ability to play at the next level, and it's looking pretty good for him the draft.
Todd Watkins, BYU – One of the more underrated receiver prospects. Tall receiver who is a big-time deep threat. Scored 15 touchdowns in two seasons at BYU, despite the team’s inconsistent play at the quarterback position. Very good hands. Has a knack of making tough catches look easy. Made a lot of acrobatic plays in college. Readjusts well to the ball. Needs work on his route running and with his slim build he doesn’t break a lot of tackles. Has excellent speed and acceleration. At the very least will be a dangerous deep threat in the NFL.
