Fingers crossed it's just Fitterer following up on his "in on every deal" mantra.

You don't build a consistent winner by trading away that much Draft capital for one player when your roster is a shambles.

Sure you do if there is a 25 year old franchise qb on the table.

Unfortunately for Deshaun the team would have to give up most of those weapons to get him here.

I have to say, it's my opinion that the Texans have next to little leverage in this.  They can't pick the suitor because Watson has the no-trade clause.  If he announces that he has asked for a trade publicly, that further undermines their leverage.  And much like the previous franchise player-involving trades, the team thats losing said player most often just has to take the best package of future assets, not current ones.  If all we offer is draft picks, that's what they have to take, and if they don't they risk Deshaun just sitting out for nothing anyway, or much like Harden did in the NBA with the Rockets, making things so miserable around there that they are forced to deal him with even less leverage than they would have initially and ultimately sending him where he wanted to go in the first place in the process.

    • Back when I used to do cognitive assessment for the NFL Concussion Settlement, I used to hear all kinds of fun juicy tidbits from former players. Not typically draft related, but largely about players who were impressing coaches/trainers in offsite personal training sessions, or about players not so productive extracurricular activities.   The thing is, people who have access to this information typically are not spreading it around on social media. Respect and trust is a two-way street. 
    • Not sure if I was reading tea leaves or hearing what I wanted to hear, but when she said that she and Orlovsky were watching and both repeated--"there is no separation" and then she referred to the digression of the OL--that should give us hope for Young.  Then she mentioned that his WR did not come back for the ball during a route (Shenault)---broke his confidence--not in himself, but in his WRs.   Now, take into account that our TEs underperformed and both backs averaged well under 4.0 yards per carry.  Neither were that good at catching passes out of the backfield, and Chubba is not good in pass protection.  As I said last year---nobody could have been successful under those conditions.   Do not expect Thielen to have the year in 2024 that he had in 2023.  However, she noted that Johnson gets open, but referred to him as the ideal #2.   She said that whoever we get, they will get better separation than what we had last season. HOWEVER, if you read the criticisms about Legette and a few others in this draft, they are not that strong out of breaks despite sub 4.4 40 times.  We need a solid route runner, and if we have to play Johnson at the X, so be it, for a season. 
    • Most of what I read were concerns about his size in relation to durability. I probably read “if Bryce was 6’2” he be the perfect prospect” several times. Arm seemed to be mentioned as “good enough” by most.  Hey if he busts maybe we overcorrect and draft a 6’8” QB with an absolute cannon?
