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

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
