Is Je-Vaughn Watson a long-term solution at right back?

Jay Heaps is a fan of Je-Vaughn Watson, but how will Heaps manage the right back situation and what is Watson's role going forward?

Je-Vaughn Watson was a late addition to the Revolution's preseason camp, but made an immediate impression on Head Coach Jay Heaps. After spending a week with the club in Arizona, the Revs traded their 2017 third round SuperDraft pick to FC Dallas for his rights. It was unknown how big of a role Watson would have on this squad, and fans and media alike wondered if the move was made simply for his versatility, or perhaps to fulfill his request for an east-coast move.
