7. Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans
Sorry to go hard against Chris Simms here, but placing Watson at the top of the deep-ball list is an impossible errand at this point in his career. Last season, the Texans’ talented quarterback completed 38 of 84 deep balls for 1,313 yards and 11 touchdowns, but he also threw five deep-ball interceptions, and these were not events in which his receivers gave up. Watson is still susceptible to underthrowing his guys on seam and post routes, and cornerbacks can read his intentions and jump his routes. Unfortunately, this situation will be further complicated by Bill O’Brien’s seeming intention to trade or dump every player with any talent on Houston’s roster.
