2011 NFL draft revisited, would you take JJ Watt over Cam?

I was reading the 2011 CBS remock and both of the writers had JJ Watt going first overall. Cam slipped to 2nd and 3rd in the redrafts, btw.

Knowing what we know now, would you still take Cam over JJ Watt, who is quickly becoming the best pass rusher the league has ever seen? If you spent this offseason shitposting about "BPA! BPA!" would you still think that Cam is BPA over JJ?

 

Oh yeah and please don't turn this into yet another "CAM HATER!!" witch hunt/circlejerk please, you have a bunch of other threads to valiantly defend a million dollar athlete against the legion of evil sports writers who are probably saints and cowboys fans.

Tempting, but if you take Watt over Cam the Panthers essentially become what the Texans are now: dominant defense with no QB stuck in mediocrity because of Brees in New Orleans and Ryan in Atlanta who would far outperform whatever we managed to pick off the scrap heap.

The defense would be too good to tank for Luck or RG3 the next year but maybe we pick Tannehill which then leaves another generational talent Kuechly on the board.

There's still an element of need when it comes to BPA so I doubt DG would have passed him up. If Hurney saw the talent was there I'm sure DG would have as well.

Look at it this way in a redraft with the two first rounders and the one second rounder from 2011 and 2012:

 

Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly

 

or

 

JJ Watt and Andrew Luck 

 

or 

 

JJ Watt, Luke Kuechly, and Russell Wilson

 

3 options to find that QB.

Fun fact, if you reverse our first round draft orders for 2011 and 2012, we could have picked JJ Watt and Luck instead of Cam and Luke.

I think the results would have been the same to this point. Luck would have had as much success as Cam. however, Cam has the higher ceiling if he can solve his accuracy issues.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
