CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- At the end of Mark Richt's tenure at Georgia, the team's most glaring weakness seemed pretty obvious. The Bulldogs could not quite figure out the quarterback position, a situation that was amplified when Deshaun Watson began his star turn at Clemson.
Though Watson grew up in Georgia, Richt and his staff got on him too late. That decision sealed both their fortunes -- Watson won a national championship, and Richt lost his job at Georgia and ended up at Miami. This time around, targeting a quarterback had to be a priority.
