Is 3 first rounders too much?

If I'm not mistaken wouldn't the Texans have to eat all the guaranteed money? Watson's guaranteed money is a little less than $111 million with almost $74 million of that guaranteed at signing. He got a $27 million signing bonus. So if we're getting Watson at a deeply discounted rate I think it's 100% worth 3 1st round picks.

Will the Texans even take our 3 1s if the Jets offer 3 1s and Darnold or 4 1s  and Darnold?

 

Also it may take 3 1s to get Fields or Lance this draft.  We have to Jump the Lions, and theyll have a Stafford 1 and 2022 1 to make sure they get their QB

You can't offer four first round picks. It's not allowed.

Why not

The Jets have this years and next year 1's from Seattle for Jamal Adams.

 

If they want Watson. They can easily trade both of Seattle's 1sts and their own 1sts for 2021 and 2022

Let me correct and clarify:

NFL teams who already have dealt for first round picks like the Jets & Dolphins could trade more than three, but we can't because NFL teams are restricted to trading more than 3 years in advance.

Watson is absolutely worth 3 first rounders.  Consider this...the Browns have been looking for a top QB literally forever.  You may think Mayfield is them finding one but the jury is out if he is that guy.

Watson is that and building a team when you have your QB is much simpler IMO.

Watson should be our top target, period.

How many players the caliber of Watson have ever been available at his age?  Cant think of many.  Maybe Marshall Faulk?  If he ends up leaving Houston someone has committed robbery.

No top picks forces you to overpay in FA - see LA Rams. Yes, they went to a Super Bowl but they lost. The Eagles went and won. Both paid high prices to get their QB, but they paid the price and are in cap hell. 

cant believe you are asking this...of course it is too much....wayyyyy too much

Its an easy YES!  Look at it this way.

To move up to the 3rd pick this year.  Picks 8, 40, and 2022 1st. That is (2) 1st and a 2nd for an unproven QB

To get Watson, you are giving up (3) 1st for a proven top 5 QB

This is not a hrad decision at all. If your GM can't continue to build the roster in rounds 2-7  then you have the wrong GM

    • 140 million with over 36 million in signing bonus for 4 years. 110 million guaranteed. Resets the WR market. States the Panthers whole WR core costs less than 25 million a year while Jefferson will be getting 35 million a year. Wonders where teams will start looking to go cheap with having to pay QBs and WRs so much now. They didn't mention how much edge rushers are getting and how that adds to the trouble of building a roster.
    • Very Odd, seems someone is lying about the "love" between Seattle and canales.  I did read some about B.johnson and he said he wanted a stable good job and that 5 out 8 teams that filled this past season, will be open again in three years. I somewhat get his point, but he's lost millions the past two years waiting. Plus great job are never open cause great team don't fire their HCs. He put lots of time and sweat into the lions and wanted to enjoy the good times longer.    I do think tepper made other coaches not want to be here. That all-star staff had as you stated had connections around the league and coaches are no different when someone contracts them and goes " How was it Carolina ??'.... " Love the area, hated the work environment/owner". They did get Brian Callahan to interview and had a 2nd one lined up, but in just one interview titans hired him. I'd much rather had him or just name evero HC instead.  Nobody wanted Ron Rivera either and he interviewed everywhere. No one wants this job..... even the jags got recent SB winning Doug Peterson.... I truly think Carolina coaching rep is in the dump and they fuged up waiting for Callahan. Panic move. This is my pure guess too, Jim Caldwell is the acting/real HC and canales is the OC.
    • I go back to the hole the Panthers put themselves in and his positive track record with getting production from ‘problem’ QBs. Which, we have one.  I go to the idea people were putting forth on these younger HC prospects - that maybe you take a guy early and let him grow and give him all the help you can. Like a QB go figure. I think that is pretty much where it is right now. I think Canales could be good.
