Dude, I would bet my bottom dollar those two QBs will suck in the NFL. Engram is a tweener and doesn't have a position. He's too small for an NFL TE and doesn't fit as a pure WR. He's a flexed out TE/slot at best. Watt was drafted on name alone, not production. He should have been a 2nd-3rd rounder at best.
Engram and Watt at least have a chance to make it. Those QBs, no way no how. It's crystal clear that unless they blow up into someone they have shown no hint of being, they are going to crash and burn hard.

He had 11.5 sacks in his first year at the position. Not only that, he is an elite athlete at the position where athleticism correlates most strongly with NFL success. He does have a pretty spotty injury history but, assuming good health, I expect him to be a top 10 player from this draft.

Which is perfectly fine. He'll play a similar role to what Jordan Reed does for the Redskins and likely be highly productive. In fact from a size and athleticism standpoint he actually compares pretty favorably to Reed.
