32. There have been reports that the Arizona Cardinals want to trade up for Clemson QB Deshaun Watson. But in this mock draft anyway, I believe they can wait it out and still get him at No. 13 overall. The Cardinals actually have the perfect situation for him to go in and learn. <p>Watson has so much talent but just as much to learn about playing QB in the NFL. And the Cardinals have veteran Carson Palmer, who’s getting closer to retirement, he can learn a lot from. Once he gets the pro game down, Watson will show us what he is all about.</p> <p>What he is about is intangibles like his poise in the clutch to make plays when his team needs it. Watson has a smooth, quick release and a good arm strength to make all of the throws. He’s a gunslinger that will try to fit the ball in there so he can make a play.</p> <p>The Cardinals may want to reign that part of him in but he is not afraid of anything. They may want to reign in the running element he brings so he could stay healthy as well. But Watson is a great piece for the Cardinals to go into the future with. </p>. QB. Clemson. DeShaun Watson. 13. player
