I think that you have to absolutely try.  Franchise QBs don't grow on trees.  If there's a way to make it happen, you have to see.

Houston is a dumpster fire right now.  They traded their best WR last year, they have alienated their franchise QB, and they don't have a lot of team to build Watson.  They need to maximized their assets moving forward to rebuild the team.

It doesnt matter who it is, a qb coming out of college has huge question marks

when you're picking this high in the draft, the general operational mentality is that you're getting a player of Watson's caliber, the trade off for the latent uncertainty being that it costs nothing to acquire said player and responsibility falling on the shoulders of those who were given the job of developing the talent given to them if he fails

A 25 year old all-pro HOF track QB goes on the trade market once a decade at most, and more likely once a generation.

I don't ever recall it happening in my 25+ years of following NFL football. Jay Cutler getting traded from Denver to Chicago is the closest comparison I can recall off the top of my head and Cutler wasn't on Watson's level considering his turnover issues.

Draft picks #7, #10, #24 and #199 of the remaining QBs in the playoffs.  Watson was a 12th pick.  So it comes down to skills, coaching and organizational decisions that determines a QBs success.  Yes, there are some busts, but many times guys drafted to be franchise QBs are let down by their organization rather than just not being all that good themselves.

edit: fine, I'll be nice, yeah, what fitz said

If you trade burns, suddenly jon snow guy has a really strong argument, this team has their QB but no means to build at the essential spots around him

You people aren’t willing to trade 

 

Vernon butler

shaq thompson 

kelvin Benjamin 

DJ Moore

CMC

Derrick Brown

brian burns

our 1st rounders from 2014-2020

Hate to burst bubbles, but CMC is the only one who is anywhere near watsons level.

 

DJ Moore is great, but people look at him a little too much through black and blue glasses

 

for Deshaun Watson?

      And again, the TLDR of the above is........ My expectations for T-Mac's rookie season have nothing to do with him and more because of my expectations for the rest of the WR room. I think his 2nd season when we then lose Thielen and replace him by just shifting everyone else up a spot in the pecking order and replace him with an end of the bench guy, is when he explodes for a huge yardage season. XL and Coker wouldn't make a good 1/2 combo with Thielen in the slot.  But T-Mac as the 1 with Thielen in the slot has the real potential to make XL/Coker an actual elite 2/4 combo.  Drafting T-Mac drastically changes the potential impact of those two, if anything, that's the biggest thing taking him did to the offense. Because honestly, how many teams have a 3rd and 4th receiving option as good as XL and Coker?

      good one though it’s really no joke. I know a few friends and family members that suffer with this condition.

      There's nothing normal about a 73 year old dating a 24 year old and a wildly successful NFL coach going to the college level in his twilight years is unprecedented. Yeah, raving success or absolute clown show. We'll see how it plays out on the field but this is why I was always very apprehensive about going after Belichick. The odds of it going the clown show route seem to be increasing by the day.
