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?

need someone for him to throw to. 

Not much point of trading for Deshaun and having him toss to Robby Anderson and like Ishmael Hyman

[Greg]

I could see a trade if its for three 1's, Teddy Bridgewater and DJ Moore.

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

I’ve read the whole thread.

1st round picks are the most overvalued things in pro football.

Our best pick this year was a late 2nd rounder

[LinvilleGorge]

This is gonna trigger some people, but I'd trade #8, CMC, and Brian Burns for Deshaun Watson with zero hesitation. The problem is the Texans wouldn't take the offer.

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.

The first four yes, and those were low draft picks because this team was decent.  You only get CMC and Brown when you suck.  So if you trade a few of our current building block and are decent, you get okay draft position, which you get decent players.

Yeah they do. Their leverage is that there will be no shortage of teams interested in potentially acquiring Watson. Even if he's utterly done in Houston, they still have plenty of leverage.

[OneBadCat]

I’d trade two first round picks and next years second round pick along with Donte Jackson
 

Part of the reason we want Watson is to see what he can do with DJ Moore and CMC. Trading those guys only takes away from any dominance we might have
