Savage, IIRC, was a low 4th-rounder and he's look good at times but the book is far from written, plus, how well can you demonstrate your skills when you have little time to throw.
As for Watson, he's the only QB I would draft ahead of Webb and for one simple reason. This guy has the 'win' gene. When the game is on the line, he finds a way to win, whether by his legs or by his arm. He went to the national title game twice as "the guy" on Clemson's offense. What big games has Trubisky been in? Kizer? Mahomes? If you play for North Carolina or Texas Tech, the phrase "big game" isn't in their vocabulary. Watson shows up with 80,000 in the stands and figures how to stick it in the end zone.
If I were a betting man, I'd bet Watson goes further than any other QB from this year's draft.
