Merchantmen select guard Andre Watson
With their fourth round pick of the 2086 draft, the Maassluis Merchantmen selected guard Andre Watson from Nebraska. Albeit considered a raw talent, Watson showed his speed and agility at the rookie combine, while the Merchantmen staff assessed him as one of few players in the class capable of being a reliable run blocker and pass protector. The retirement of Carlos Webb left the Merchantmen behind with only two guards on roster. It does seem unlikely he'll see much if any playing time behind returning starters Harvey Hank and Michael Szott.
