124. Few coaches believe in the idea of investing at the quarterback position more than Andy Reid. Now with Alex Smith approaching his mid-30s, the Kansas City Chiefs need to start thinking about bringing in some young competition. Especially if the team makes an early exit from the playoffs. Smith remains the competent, efficient and opportunistic game manager he’s always been but if he can’t break through to a Super Bowl this year, it’s time to consider a change. <p>Deshaun Watson has enjoyed a stellar career at Clemson, showcasing his natural athletic ability mixed with big-game poise and productivity. Some worry about his streak accuracy and good-not-great arm strength but he seems to do just fine against the best programs in the country. He’s certain to remind Reid of Donovan McNabb, whom the coach enjoyed an extended run of success with during their years in Philadelphia.</p>. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson . 30. player
