I wont say you are wrong, but I will say I highly doubt the Texans will sit on Watson.  Texans really do have little leverage in this situation. Your hypothetical works here, but will not work in the real life situation that is occurring. Watson WILL NOT be on the Texans roster come June.

I'm not saying he will or won't, I think he has a very good chance to force his way out.  I just don't agree that he is like a free agent, he isn't going to get to pick his destination regardless of what compensation the other team offers.

If the Texans say no to the 49ers but yes to the Jets, what does Watson do then?

Smart.

Gotta figure playing in Shanahan's system would be a big draw too.

Plus the 49ers are probably legitimately just a QB away from having a Super Bowl title already. To me, that is the best scenario for Watson imaginable from a football success standpoint.

Other than that, Miami seems like the best possible scenario for a "future bet" and living situation scenario.

Well, it hadn't hit me till now, but you know who else Caserio has a connection with?

Adam Peters.

They worked together in the Patriots personnel department from 2003 to 2008.

Hadn't thought about the 49ers being able to offer Jimmy Garoppolo..

Could see Caserio biting on that if the surrounding package was good.

I keep thinking any deal that might appeal to the Texans has to include a potential QB, makes it a lot easier to sell to your fans.  Also as you said in another post owners have egos, getting a QB might help swallow your pride a little.

Both Miami and the Jets can also offer potential QBs, either Tua or guys drafted this year.

People also need to realize that not all 1st round picks are created equal.  In reality the Jest 1st is probably worth 3 of your first.  Think about what it would take for us to move up to the 2nd pick.  If the Texans are really high on 2 QBs in the draft than the Jets pick is worth exponentially more than ours.  If they are really high on 3 QBs than Miami's pick is worth exponentially more than ours.  The Jets offering 3 first round picks is the same as us offering 5 1st round picks.  We don't have a QB (and don't say teddy) to offer in any package, maybe on draft night if Lance falls to us and they are really high on Lance.

Speaking of draft night, what about Atlanta, what if Texans really like Fields and he is there for Atlanta.  Could Atlanta package that pick along with others and trade for Watson, and then trade Ryan to someone else?

I could see us making a offer but at the end of the day we can't offer a guaranteed QB. We can offer draft picks, we can offer some really good young players, CMC, Burns, Brown, Chinn, some of which are still on rookie contracts which is a huge selling point, but we can't offer a QB.

If Im the Texans I'm trying my best to come out of this with a potential franchise QB.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
