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?

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
