What is Watson's value in a trade?

After watching the Broncos first four selection I am now interested in them as a trading partner for Watson. Cornerback Patrick surtain, running back Devonte Williams, Center guard Meinerz and Baron Browning LB. Give me 2022 rounds one and two also.

This has been a great draft for the Broncos......I don’t think Watson brings more to the table than these four guys will over the next 4 seasons.

Listening to the 610 boys at lunch, and they are speculating that Philly might have three first round picks next year depending on how Wentz does with the Colts.

Assuming that a team would be willing to give up two 1st picks in one draft, I can only imagine how exciting the 2022 draft could be for us with three picks (and most likely one of them being high due to the Texans 2021 season).

From April 21st:
Post June 1st trade allows time for the claims against Watson to be resolved.
Eagles get Watson and Greenard.

Texans get DE/Lb Derek Bennett. His year 5 base gives Eagles $10 m cap that cancels Deshaun's 2021 base salary...even swap financially and Houston spreads dead over two years rather than one. Greenard offers a possibility of replacing Bennett.

Eagles draft rounds one and two for Houston.

Texans get Philly's three round ones which are valued as if 2021 round twos.

My suggestions:
1.12 CB Patrick Surtian if there but Dallas expected to get him. Next choice WR Jaylen Waddle arguably the best receiver in draft.

2.47 if Waddell taken at 12 I go with cornerback Kelvin Joseph. If we somehow get Surtian at 12, I hope for either Javonte Williams or wide receiver Terrace Marshall.

2022:

1.1 ours QB Tyler Shough (pronounced Shuck)

1.5 Eagle's own CB Derek Stingley

1.20 Eagle's from Colts
Safety Jordan Battle

1.22 from Dolphins

LB Christian Harris.

In summary, in 2021 terms Philly gets DW and Greenard.
Houston gets Bennett+ 1st and 2nd with three 2022 firsts equating to round twos.

A first and four seconds plus decent upside over Greenard.
* note this post was before Philly moved up to 1.10 with Dallas. The only questionable round 1 pick in 2022 is based upon the Colts and how many snaps Wentz takes.

Also interesting that I projected cornerback Kelvin Joseph at 2.47 and he went to Dallas at 2:47 if I remember correctly. Most had Joseph going as late as Round 4.

I can see dolphins offering us

1.6 WR Waddle 1.18 DE Jaelan Phillips
2.36 Kevin Holland Safety

2022 round one 2023 round ones

Plus Tua Tag and CB Xavian Howard: extremely cheap next four years and Miami does not want to rework his contract so soon.

They get their top 5 QB and avoid having to pay Bennett going forward with a shot at Greenard being that guy.
Texans get a starter and every position mentioned.

I know some here thinks we will get nothing for DeShaun but the fact that Philly and Miami are reportedly still interested says a lot.

They also signed 2 starters at CB in FA so the Surtain pick was odd. They really didn’t like any of these QBs in the 1st.

I think that Denver was hoping for some miracle to land Rogers but realistically did not see it happening. Both Packers and Texans Can use an immediate starter like surtain.

It still could happen. Jeez, that team is a QB away from winning the SB.
But it looks like GB stubborn ways will prevail. Or he retires.
DEN RT Juwan James just tore his Achilles. Out for the season. And they didn’t draft an OT.

I think Broncos are ready to go with Calvin Anderson to replace Juwan.

GB in a post June 1st trade of Rogers gets a cap space break of almost 23 million but I don't see them spending it until 2022. I just can't see Rogers going anywhere.

Watson for Rogers trade

That would just be insane. I’m almost tempted to turn around and trade Rogers to the Chargers for Herbert and picks and just rebuild. I’m not sure how dazzled Rogers would be in HOU. Rogers wants to be in LA, so make it happen. Chargers are loaded, and Rogers would extend his career to another 6-8 years there.

Yep. Well paid sacrificial lambs, but sacrificial lambs nonetheless.



From a purely objective point of view, O'Brien had 5 winning seasons and 4 AFC South division titles.

Hate the man all you want, but in the NFL the only thing that ultimately matters is wins and losses.

O'Brien was not some raving success, but he's been the best HC of the Texans so far when you compare his .520 Win % against Kubiak's .488 Win % and 2 playoff appearances as Texans HC.



Sure. But you'd have to be delusional not to admit that they might be way worse, as well.

btw, I did not predict anything. I just said the current staff is lackluster. Read anything into it more than that and you're just making stuff up in your head. :howdy:

It certainly looks that way since Caserio is back at square 1 looking for a QB. Remind me who drafted that QB? Also who did the background research on that QB? They should be fired, keep on taking out the trash Caserio.
I don't really care how Watson gets his jollies personally, I like the way he plays football.

But what soured me on Deshaun was when he showed he is a quitter and not a leader when he decided to take the money and leave Houston 6 months later.

Yep, that's the root of my disatisfaction and probably the real subconscious reason I want to see him fall and fall hard. Oh how the mighty have fallen, couldn't happen to a better guy.

Here is why you wait until the start of the new league year 2022 before you trade Watson. Take Philly for example, if you trade Watson before the season starts in 2021 the Eagles with Watson could win 10 - 12 games and be picking somewhere in the 20s in the 2022 draft. If you trade Watson after the season the Eagles may end up with 4 wins and be picking in the Top 10.

Let’s say Watson finalizes this mess and the NFL gives him a 6-8 game suspension. In the meantime, the Eagles and Hurts aren’t doing as well as expected but being in the ultra crappy NFC East.....they’re still in the running. I could see the NFL Trade Deadline being a perfect time to unload Watson and still get a king’s ransom in the process.....from the Eagles.

Yes the only advantage that I see to trading him sooner is to have it locked in but I do agree that it would be best draft pick wise is to wait and not give Philadelphia any help.

We need to replace Watson and we need to replace Watt. At a minimum, to trade Watson, we need a 1 and a 2 in 2022 and a 1 and a 2 in 2023. Before the Watson fiasco, I believe there was strong concensus that any trade would involve 3 1's; so I believe a 1 and a 2 in both 2022 and 2023 is a reasonable floor to begin negotiations. Also, the best guess on the placement of these picks should be a consideration, whether in the top half or bottom half of the round. If we were to get an offer this year at the trading deadline, this most likely would be from a team in the playoff hunt. Meaning draft picks offered are likely to be in the bottom half of rounds.

I'd like to come out of this with two impact defensive pass rushers and, of course, a QB. And I'm hopeful that our QB problem is already solved with Mills. But we need the picks if he's not.

Yeah, I know all of that.

But, like Bill Parcells said, "You are what your record says you are."

At the end of the day, the ONLY thing that really matters in the NFL is winning games, even if for some coaches it means depleting draft capital and screwing the future.

btw, I wasn't trying to defend King Bill. It was just a purely objective analysis. He was still better than Dom Capers.

I dont, Caserio needs Hurts to suck. That may start a bidding war.
I’m all for second chance because the God I serve has given me chance after chance after chance. But on the cool Watson might not set foot on another NFL football field for a long time. If convicted of course. Therefore, the Texans have to plan accordingly. Meaning they might not get squat for Watson.

If he doesn’t get convicted, the Texans imo should trade him to the worst team in the NFL.

Sure but every game in 2021 that Watson then helps them to win drives that eagle first round pick down in the draft. Our own round one should get us choice of quarterbacks and the Eagles at probably 1.3 or 1.4 should bring us cornerback Derek Stingley whom I project as a pro bowler Year One.

It was sad to see that Sam Ehlinger former University of Texas quarterback drafted by the Colts younger brother Jake died this week.

If the Eagles are in the running (-.500 means in the running) but Hurts just isn’t delivering the goods as hoped for......Texans would be wise to go ahead and strike a deal if the Eagles are game b/c the deal may not present itself in the off-season. That could be impacted if Rogers refuses to report to the Packers. I wouldn’t see Watson refusing a deal to the Eagles either.

Because I have pushed a trade of Watson to Dolphins and Eagles I just read that Flores of Miami has signed Jason McCourty cornerback. The 12-year veteran did not have a great 20/20 but some think and this is to strengthen the idea of Xavier and Howard being traded. The safety I like Jevon Holland can also play corner. The writer of this link states he does not believe Howard will be traded but I sure am interested in Holland.

I certainly wouldn't want to see a repeat of the recent past, where they supposedly weren't taking offers, with the intent of not doing so until just before the draft in April.

I only mentioned the Eagles as possible landing spots but in all reality the NFC East has 3 teams that could be suitors for Watson the moment this legal stuff is behind him. I could see the WFT and NYG as teams with just as much interest as the Eagles when the time is right.

The NFC East could potentially crown a .500 team its champion in 2021 and QB play might be a big reason why. Dallas would be in the same boat but they did re-sign Dak. The NYG are going to be watching Jones really close to determine if he’s their answer going forward b/c he’s in year 3. WFT has Fitzpatrick, Heinicke, and Allen which screams.....potential deep water if Fitzpatrick goes down or he’s not having the year they were expecting. IMHO the WFT are going to be buyers come the deadline if the offense isn’t clicking on all cylinders and knowing their defense could be one of the best in the NFL.

Currently the Eagles have (3) 2022 RD1 Picks, the Giants have (2) and WFT has (1) which means they all possess the draft capital to be serious suitors for Watson if their QB positions have to be addressed. Of course, the teams mentioned represents the best group for Watson should the Texans move him before the deadline. If the Texans don’t get any offers before the deadline, then these teams and more should be preparing offers in the off-season.

To be fair/objective, O'Brien inherited a better roster but the team itself was 2-14.

If the Texans are smart they might want to trade him now if they are allowed. Nobody has any idea what is going to happen with the legal stuff. He could just have to pay money as a settlement and that is it. Then the NFL will suspend him for 6 games on the good side and a season on the bad. But, he could be end up in criminal court. And if they find him guilty then he goes to jail. And the Texans get zero for him. When allowed back the NFL is still going to suspend him.

Sadly this is now down to get the best deal you can if you can. And do it now. Otherwise you might get zero

Can’t wait to see all the talk about that all these defensive backs signings and the drafting of Jevon Hollan is a signal that Xavien Howard might be on the way out. I don’t think that’s the case at all but with Stone Cold Brian Flores you need to know that he does what he wants when he wants.
Or, you’re going to see folks talking about that Noah Igbinoghene mustn't be exactly what Flores thought he was getting and hasn’t developed. I don’t think that’s the case either. I just think when Flores thinks he can sign a player that could help the team, he doesn’t care who’s feelings it hurts or how it looks. It’s about winning and nothing else. No time for anything else.

Another link with some discussion:

The addition of McCourty, who will turn 34 in August, provides even more depth to a Dolphins cornerback group that is led by Xavien Howard and Byron Jones, and also includes 2020 first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene, Nik Needham, newcomer Justin Coleman and Jamal Perry.
There's obviously a little bit of uncertain there as well given the Howard situation, which involves him having a new agent, the strong possibility he'll be looking for a new contract having watching Jones surpass him in average salary last offseason, and the Dolphins' potential reluctance to give him a new contract just two years after signing him to a five-year extension.
Another possibility for McCourty is using him in the same center fielder role played last season by Bobby McCain, who the Dolphins released Thursday.

This offseason alone, the Dolphins have added former New England players Adam Butler, Jacoby Brissett (by way of Indianapolis) and Justin Coleman (by way of Detroit) to join previous Patriots addition.

For me I see two major "packages" meaning what is possible but how much is likely? and that depends on your POV about Watson and what other teams will give. Some do not want DW representing Texans and therefor think no other team wants him either. I do not agree with "no other teams want". I already know if YOU don't agree yet we know you will say it again...

Caserio 'seems' to be saying and bringing in guys to have as good a roster as he can. Is it a roster that wins now and lowers any future draft picks? That thought leads me to

Miami Dolphins send 2020 1.6 [1600] WR Jaylen Waddle +1.18 [900] Jaelan Phillips DE + 2.36 [540] Safety Jevon Holland + QB Tu'a Tagovailoa + CB Xavian Howard.

Plus 2022 round one from San Francisco estimated to be around 1.27.
Plus 2023 round one.

The concern I have with this is it is a very strong group and could move Texans out of contention for a top 8 QB in 2022 with their own pick. I personally think Tag will be good enough to continue as an NFL QB. I believe Caserio is building the team to do well with a good if not great QB until he can get what he wants. Tag's post June 1st trade costs Houston less than $1 million avg. 2021 thru 2023 and we'd control his 5th year 2024. This would be a huge deal even if he is only a good QB. This is a low risk high reward veteran we all ask for. If he cannot start or remain healthy that would mean we have a higher draft pick in 22.

Another positive about this package it should remain available at any point up to TC of 2022. As I watched the draft I kept thinking Miami's picks fit extremely well with Texans needs. Throw in a CB of Xavian's caliber and his amazing stats and another high priority position would be filled.

Philadelphia 2021 1.10 [1300 but I value at 1.12 1200 as they traded up & could have had him at 12] WR Devonta Smith *his true weight of 166 rather than 175 most expected may indicate difficulty maintaining but he is an awesome target. + 2.37 C/OG Landon Dickerson who arguably is injury prone. He had to pass medicals for Eagles to draft him this high. So both are risky but IMO well worth gamble.

sends three round ones in 2022 and edge rusher 25 YOA Derek Barnett who is in last contract year at $10 million base which matches the base for DW. Barnett can be allowed to leave after 2021 season with a possible comp pick or re-signed. Utilizing the point system [which I do] those round ones are considered only comparable to second rounds until after 2021 season. Still, it is hard not to get a bit pumped getting three round ones in 2022. Most trade scenarios that suggested picks for DW prior to the explosion had firsts and seconds over two to three drafts (with exception of Dolphins) so three in one year is significant.

Trade now or after '21? Of the three firsts only Eagle's own would be impacted possibly if DW starts for them most of season. The Dolphins and Indy's (other two involved) impacted only if they play vs Philly and I ain't spending time to research. Would/should QB Jalen Hurts be part of the trade? My friend who taught both Jalen and his coach father in Channelview gives a hearty 'hell yeah!' but would Philly agree? Probably if they knew how many games DW would be available and if they believe Flacco could keep team afloat until Watson takes the reins.

Summary of this deal : Smith + Dickerson + three 2022 round ones plus Barnett and Hurts.
