You people aren’t willing to trade 

 

Vernon butler

shaq thompson 

kelvin Benjamin 

DJ Moore

CMC

Derrick Brown

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?

Meaning he's not getting traded. 

Second most valuable thing in football is a pass rusher like him. 

I think you protect Moton (someone has to block), Moore (someone has to catch), Burns/Brown/Chinn (that's the defense)

anyone else? go hog wild. 

This.  These are the 5 untouchables to me.  I'd say CMC gets thrown in as well, despite the lack of positional value.  Can't see the team wanting to take another PR hit by trading their only marketable star that casual fans still have a connection to. Not the smartest football, move, no...but from the business side CMC isn't leaving. 

I also don't think players are even that big of a deal in a trade like this.  It's not like the NBA where 2-3 players get tossed in to even the cap, contracts can be changed to make that work.  The Texans will probably just want a shitload of picks, and whichever team backs up the biggest truck wins.

it's DeShaun WATSON my man.  The gap between the most valuable thing in football, which is an all-pro like DeShaun, and the second most valuable thing which is pass rushing, even though I would say it's left tackle, is so enormous it doesn't matter.  I don't care if we had Lawrence Taylor, you move whoever to get DeShaun

Texans dont have the leverage.

Got it. Thanks, I wasnt following your post. I see what you were leading with now.

You’re good.

 

also, I might add, our GM worked for the Seahawks who have traded their 1st round pick literally almost every year and picked later in the 1st when they kept it, I feel we could do fine without them.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
