Deshaun Watson ranks among the seven worst quarterbacks in the NFL by adjusted EPA per play over the last five years, alongside Bailey Zappe, P.J. Walker, Tommy DeVito, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance. Davis Mattek's quant model projects 2,000 passing yards and eight passing touchdowns, but Mattek emphasizes 'It's not like it's a good situation. It's not like you want to take Deshaun Watson.' Despite this, Mattek selected Watson as a late-round value at pick 207 in best ball, comparing him favorably to Aaron Rodgers at pick 162 as a closing-line value play, though Mattek acknowledges it was not one of his proudest draft moments.
