I don't think so .... My starting point is 4 #1's. I don't see the equivalent of that in any of those deals
LoL. Exactly.
The only 2 scenarios worth HOU’s time are the 1st 2.
And that’s because hypothetically they would be in position to either have the 2nd pick or swap the 3 for 2 with NYJ. The rest are window dressing and do not address the problem. Chubb, who’s in his 5th year option will need to be paid. And I don’t even know if he’s worth it. He’s kinda meh.Then Fant the next year. Hell, I’d rather get Okuegubanam (spelling) the other rookie TE. Cheaper And just as good.
HOU is already in cap hell.
The key isn’t necessarily players, but how does HOU jump from Watson to another franchise QB.
That's the question.
Watson to another franchise QB.
Theres only 2 sure fire, elite franchise QBs in this draft. Sorry, but that’s the truth.
HOU has to prioritize getting to 2.
Because that nets them at worst Zack Wilson. On a cheap, 5 yr deal with a big window to rebuild. Like KC did with Mahomes. Like BUF did with Allen.
The rest is somewhat important in the valuation of Watson but as long as it nets you a return on your loss we’re good. CAR and DEN don’t get HOU to the promised land and all I see in those trades are expensive players who will want out so they can get paid. And those teams aren’t giving you 1st round players and more 1st rnd picks on top of them.
That’s why these teams in your mocks are doing the trades your proposing. So they can get to the promise land....
Watson. Franchise QB.
They aren’t settling for Justin Fields or Mac Jones. Neither should HOU.
HOU must get to 2. That’s the floor.
How they and these other teams do it is inconsequential. But they must do it.
