2024 Stock Watch – DB Ryan Watts

Player: DB Ryan Watts

Stock Value: Down

Reasoning: The signing of ILB Tyler Matakevich could cause a ripple effect that sends rookie DB Ryan Watts off the roster. Matakevich won’t necessarily take the place of another linebacker, and Watts is sort of in between positions. He will need to prove that he is as good as somebody like Mark Robinson, potentially, to make the team. He was going to have a battle making the roster before this, but the move only makes it tougher.

How does the signing of an inside linebacker affect the job security of a defensive back?
