The Canuck would be able to elaborate with his insight on the past years numbers but in my estimation it will cost a 10-12m signing bonus for Taylor and a 1-2m bonus for Watson. Where is the money going to come from this season fellas let alone down the road. We all ready have a credit card mentality to spending and cap budget without the 13-15m dollars in bonus money these players bring us. Mean while in the scenario that we trade for 21, 32 and 56 picks the bonus money would be substantially less (approx 8m cumulatively I am guessing)

From what I have been able to come up with on various draft board's it look's like watson will go in the top 1/3 of the second rd., If he does jump up the board that far [1st rd.] we may look at peter's as an alternative, he look's like more of what we want out of a TE, he probabaly would need some work if we wanted to use him in the passing game, although he is said to have good hand's, If we did take watson late 1st we would have to find a lineman in the 2nd rd., I as a lot of us really am not that up to date with how we can fit these player's in money wise? But I think we will find a way.
