ESPN released their NFL Mock Draft 5.0 and both analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay agree on Clemson's Sammy Watkins Sammy Watkins

The ESPN mock draft has Watkins projected third overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Analysis: First of all, the Jags will deserve absolutely no heat if they don't take a quarterback here. There's just not enough certainty at that position anywhere in the rookie class to make it imperative to get one at this point. Secondly, even if it seemed like less of a risk, I'm not sure the Jags would do it. I really think they will take the best player at what is probably at least a minor position of need, and I like the Watkins fit. Watkins gives them a dynamic talent, a player who really can help a quarterback, and, given the uncertain future of Justin Blackmon, the depth chart could use Watkins' size and speed combination.
