Because if we had taken Watt over Taco, do you think our defense would have been better? That we maybe would have won a few more games? I think so. And in doing so, would have been further down the draft board. Not to mention, if we had a guy like Watt already on the roster, I sincerely doubt we would have been looking to take somebody like Parsons. Hell, if you believe the reports, we were barely considering Parsons to begin with, looking at the corners.
If we had Watt, 0% chance Parsons is a Cowboy.
