Menelik Watson starts 9 games

Over

The 2013 second-round pick missed all of last season with an Achilles’ injury. In 2014, Watson started 9 games. Can he surpass that mark?

Personally, I believe Watson is too athletic not to start at right tackle. He showed a lot of promise in last year’s offseason. I think it is only a matter of time until he cements himself as the right tackle.

If he can not earn the starting position, he may find himself looking for another team next year.
