I don't see the value. A cheap rookie left tackle compared to giving up a first round pick plus giving a big time extension to Brown. Brown wants to get paid. I would explore an option where we trade up with the dolphins and do a swerve and take Sewell before I would bet it all on a Brown trade. Also this is a solid oline class. We could take Slater or Darrisaw at 8. Or take a chance on Eichenberg, Leatherwood or Walker Little in the second.

I'm on that train too. Britt and Jabril are my favorites. Jabril was a mega watt star at North Dakota State. Then he went to LSU and played with the big boys. Him or Britt would be a nice addition. As far as free agency Hassan Reddick could bring some pass rush and veteran presence.

Ya don't take great backups in the top ten. I'm just not a fan that early. Yeah, top of the second or something sure. In my opinion all the qbs stock are grossly inflated. Trevor is legit. After that they all have question marks. They all are more like 2nd round guys when compared to lots of non-qb guys.

If we use a top 10 pick on Jones and only give him a year to figure it out I would consider that a wasted pick.

AJ McCarron was a back to back National Champion.

I'd be all right with this if we could also get half the Alabama oline with him. Yep. Leatherwood, Deonte Brown and Dickerson need to come along too. Without a elite level oline Mac gonna be a tackling dummy.

Its crazy how those sack numbers go down when you invest in a oline. Rivers and Brady are statues but we're well protected.

They got Watson fever. They want a quick fix. Honestly I think the Texans are gonna want more than three firsts. A player or two will be asked to be involved. Oh and sorry I'll pass on Dak too. In that scenerio if we include Jackson and Shaq we weaken the linebacker core and secondary. Then turn around and put bandaids on the oline with cosmi and Hudson.

Ok do any of y'all play poker? Ok Tepper is at the table with all the other high rollers do ya think he ain't gonna put chips on the table. He is gonna be involved. Does that mean he is gonna go all in on the Watson jackpot? The Jets and Dolphins are the chip leaders and can make bigger pushes but we got a play. Is it the one we need to make?

It was a unpopular opinion. Devil's advocate to a overripe tired situation. I was thinking maybe Watson is the pipedream. Y'all keep dreaming.

Not disputing that Rivera overstayed his welcome. I'm talking bout how people were calling for his head one year before a coach of the year and 15-1 season.

Pat on the back for myself. So tired of the dozens of threads bout the Panthers trading for Watson. I mean how many more can any of us stand. If it happens cool for y'all. I'll enjoy playing the hindsight game and talking bout the picks we traded. We will see who was "stupid" one day. Or we could win a super bowl every year Watson is under contract. I have my doubts. Shid he never did it in Houston. Hell how many playoff games did he win? That's par.

way to be a typical condescending internet bully. My view is just as valid. I don't want teddy but I don't want to sell the farm for Watson.

I'm implying nothing. I am saying maybe we like our name in the hunt. In my scenario we keep our picks and we keep our core players whether thats CMC, Burns, etc. Y'all impatient.

Exactly. Maybe we like Fields. Maybe that's the smoke screen.

Ok going on. Rivera sucks your a genius.

Another benefit will be keeping 3 first rounders and some great players. Y'all are overreacting much like how some wanted to fire Rivera before he could get a chance. Give Rhule three years before y'all get all antsy. Lots of salary cap room in 2022. Another draft and off season this season we gonna have some pieces in place.

So I'm stupid? If some of y'all gave your way you gonna have to change your tag cause burns and chinn gonna be in Houston.

If the chips fall the price to trade up for our pick of a rookie goes down. The more qbs go to a new home we are able to get a guy. For instance if the Jets go big for Watson then fields should be there at three. Trading up for a rookie gonna be cheaper than the Watson sweepstakes

Unpopular opinion and personal pipe dream. Watson is a smoke screen. We are driving up the price and also keeping our profile high. Smart move would be to let the chips fall where they may and reap the benefits of the market settling.

If the goal is only to make the playoffs then yes 3-4 more wins is cool but if we want to be a consistent winner then a longer view is necessary. Sorry I'm on board on a rookie salary QB that booms rather than a proven guy that cost a arm and leg. Let Houston drown. We can keep swimming. We are not treading water, promise we are on our way.

That said putting watson behind a average rag tag group of lineman will not bring the results some expect. Watson likes a clean pocket ( all qbs prefer it ) but his rushing disguises the fact he holds onto the ball awhile. He has taken sacks a lot because of his rushing and holding the ball. That's not gonna change. I'm gonna get some poo but if CMC is healthy and we improve the oline I do think teddy could be better.

Amen. People want to act like Tampa did not use a first on a tackle after that they got Brady. Brady wanted a upgrade on the oline for a reason.

I like pride Jr and I also like Douglas he has size and had some decent games. Griffin, Pride, Douglas, Jackson, Chinn and a rookie like Richie Grant or Jevon and I like our chances

Since we freeing up some cap I hope we invest some money in the secondary. Shaquill Griffin from Seattle or one of the safeties on the market. Griffin could be a legit number one corner for us. Resign rasul, sign Shaquill and draft a safety our secondary looks really good. I'm not wanting to give up our core guys for Watson. Brown, Chinn, YGM, Shaq and Action Jackson are those core guys on defense.
