The most valuable asset in the NFL is an elite QB on a rookie contract, but if I'm the Jags and Houston calls me and offers Watson for #1 overall straight up I'd struggle to say no. I think Lawrence is going to be a good QB but if the over/under on him is Deshaun Watson I'd feel pretty comfortable taking the under.

Honestly, it's probably about all I'd offer. Dude seems like a headcase.

Gotta remember though, while Trask isn't a great NFL prospect, he was a great college QB. Vernon Davis' college QB situation was straight up atrocious.

I'm a big UNC fan and he absolutely torched us. I knew he was a really good player but I was like how in the hell is this TE who is 50 pounds heavier than any of our DBs running past our DBs like they're wearing concrete boots??? Then he ran sub-4.4 at the Combine and it was like ohhhhhhh... THAT'S why.

I would also prefer an actual Ferrari vs. a Hyundai at a Ferrari price.

He's probably going to have to go scorched Earth and stop with the innuendo.

He's a helluva prospect. He reminds me of Vernon Davis coming out of Maryland. Hell no I wouldn't take him over anyone we think can be a franchise QB. For the record, Vernon Davis was drafted 6th overall. He was a very good NFL TE but I would argue that he failed to live up to his hype and potential though he did end up 11th all-time among TEs in receiving yardage and 6th for TDs so I wouldn't argue that opinion too hard.

This seems to be accurate.

Yeah, if you subtract those three guys we'd probably field the worst D in NFL history. Hell, if I'm Watson I probably lean on my no trade clause to prevent that deal from happening. You'd probably be saddling yourself to a team that would be 3-5 years away from competing due to what they gave up to get you.

JR didn't have a choice. The league was forcing him to sell and Tepper was their chosen one.

Yep. It sounds like he's gone nuclear quietly behind the scenes but is trying to stay quiet and let others do his communication to the public. He might have to go nuclear publicly.

Most businesses don't have hard salary caps. Different ballgame.

"any price" is a scary thought

I don't think we're at all devoid of talent. We need some key pieces but we have some building blocks.

IMO, ten.

So much for that stuck QB carousel. This may have been the cause of the stuck.

This is true.

At least Lance has the talent to justify the pick. Jones just doesn't. We can hit on other picks and it still won't be okay unless one of those other picks is a QB. You can't compete for championships in today's NFL with a JAG QB.

If we take Mac Jones at #8 it's over. We're gonna flail around for 2-3 more years before the next blow up and complete rebuild with an entire new staff.

If he doesn't get moved before the draft, get your popcorn ready. The current poo show in Houston is gonna look like perfect harmony in comparison to what comes next.

Fug. This is just embarrassing. How can anyone accumulate this type of wealth and sleep at night?

Yep. If we can't trade for a QB we're probably going to have to trade up.

If history is any indication, at least one of these guys is gonna flat out bust and another will probably come far short of expectations. I LOVE Wilson, but at the end of the day maybe Wilson is the bust. If I had to bet money with a gun to my head though, I'd bet on Fields being the bust and it's because of what Verge pointed out - he's wildly inconsistent in his play and unlike Cam who could also be inconsistent, Fields while being a very good athlete isn't a Cam type of athlete who can simply take over a game with athleticism when he had to.

I find it difficult to believe that Houston would be interested in Teddy, but it could very well be a reason why we're hanging onto him.

We already don't have a QB and we've made it no secret that we are desperate.
