Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins will pass up his senior season and enter this year's NFL draft, according to multiple media reports Sunday.

 

Watkins had a record-setting night with 16 catches for 227 yards and two scores in Clemson's 40-35 victory over Ohio State in Friday night's Discover Orange Bowl. Watkins became Clemson's career receptions leader and set an Orange Bowl record for yardage. 

Watkins had 101 catches for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

 

 

Looking for some insight from people that know more about the draft than I do. How much does it cost teams to trade up to a higher first round draft pick? 

 

One of the biggest factors to success next season will be giving Cam a true WR1 weapon on the field. I know I know, first round receivers are a high risk. Few have actually panned out over the last decade, but Watkins seems to be the real deal. He is 6'1" and weighs 205 pounds and doesn't shy away from contact. He won state championships running track in high school so he obviously has the vertical break away speed. He's had Tajh Boyd as his QB who isn't the most accurate passer and he still has broken records and performed well in big games.

 

What would we have to give up to trade into the top 10? I would be perfectly fine with giving up maybe a 4th or 5th round pick along with the garbage pick we got for Beason.

 

Then take the best offensive lineman available in the 2nd round. I'm confident that management will do a good job finding talent to patch up the o-line and secondary in the off season.

I can't give you a specific answer, but I can assure you it would cost more than he's worth to us.

From where we'll be drafting?  Probably this year's first, second, and next year's first at least.  

 

I do not think we should do it.  Too much at stake.

[TN05]

No. We need to fix up our line and secondary first.

For Jstew, straight up.

Their 1st, 2nd that year, and 1st and 4th the next year... I think.

Do the names Armanti Edwards, Everette Brown, and Jeff Otah ring a bell?

I am certainly glad it is no Gmans style to do this type thing.

This is not nearly enough.  Not even close... Maybe to go up a spot or two, but not to go up 20+ spots.
