24. Chicago Bears (via OAK)

Deshaun Watson . 24. player. 57. Everything about this draft says the Bears would like to come out of it with a young quarterback they can develop behind veteran Mike Glennon. The tricky part is when. At #3 was just too high given the drawbacks of this class. That said there is a considerable belief that if the right player drops far enough, the team might be convinced enough to jump from the 2nd round back into the 1st in order to get him. Such is the case here. <p>Deshaun Watson represents everything Ryan Pace and John Fox love in a QB. He’s smart, humble, competitive and does nothing but win. He lost just two games over his final two years at Clemson and capped his college career with a national championship win over Alabama. Very few players can say they’ve done that. Watson is also a good athlete on top of it. Nobody has a more proven track record of success.</p>. QB. Clemson
