Would you trade our first rounder for Deshaun?

Of course but that is nowhere near a realistic trade.

Yeah, any team in need of a QB would do backflips to trade their 1st rounder for Deshaun Watson with the Texans eating all the guaranteed money in his contract. There's never been an easier decision in NFL history. Even if I was the Jags sitting at #1 looking at Trevor Lawrence I'd STILL make that trade. Watson is a proven MVP caliber NFL QB. Lawrence is a great prospect. There's a big difference. Plenty of great prospects don't pan out.

Damn it, Igo. Look at the contract. He's untradable. The Texans can't eat that dead money and still field a roster. They're already $18M in the red going into next year.

"Take a look at the contract. Trading him would result in a cap charge of $21.6 million. The Herschel-sized haul of draft picks that a Deshaun Watson trade would generate would more than justify it." https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/07/will-deshaun-watson-ask-for-a-trade/

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
