26CornerBlitz Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Grading first-round draft picks: Offense It's time to grade this year's first-round picks. Starting on offense, Rookie Watch hands out marks for Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles and New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., among others. Sammy Watkins, Bills: (4th pick) Watkins would earn a higher grade here if it weren't for stretches of streaky play. After piling up 12 catches for 279 yards and three scores over Weeks 7 and 8, the Bills pass-catcher was held to 35 or fewer yards in his next four games. Part of that channels back to the wildly inconsistent play of Kyle Orton. We also know that Watkins has spent most of the year dealing with rib and groin injuries. He has all the tools to be a star. Grade: B+
