If we would draft a QB at 8, what's the harm in losing two future 1sts that are most likely between 17-25 in the draft? 

I feel like everyone sees the "three" FRPs and, rightfully so, has reservations. However, if one of those picks were to be used on Wilson/Fields/Lance anyway at #8, why not get an NFL top-5 QB just starting his prime at 25 and locked in for 4 more years. 

Yes, losing a first round pick in the next two drafts stings, but the tradeoff is pretty satisfying. 

I would prefer we keep all of our picks in '21, but would be fine if the compensation included a '22 2nd or 3rd.

There hasn't been any trustworthy reports that this is the case or likely to become the case though. Most "trustworthy" rumors indicate that surprisingly the Jets are his preferred destination. There have been some whispers that he might be open to the idea of Carolina, but nothing that indicates he's ready to take a stand and try to force that move. Sounds to me like he's probably given the Texans an idea of the teams he'd like to go to or at least the teams he will refuse and he's at least somewhat open to multiple options. What could give us an advantage here is that we're an NFC team.

Also we're either coming though with some big offers or have a leaky front office if we're the "aggressive" team on the list.

Again I ask....Why doesn't Houston have a 1st or 2nd rd pick this year? Do we want to be in that boat? We'd have to ride our current Oline (or worse) for at least 2 years.

If we can keep the 39th overall, we can add an OT like Leatherwood or Eichenburg. We make Moton our focus in FA and lock him in. We now have bookend OTs for the next decade, a 25-yr old mobile top-5 QB, the NFL's top RB and a young, up and coming defense. 

Add an IOL in R3 and Watson would have a decent, young OL to grow with.

We still have holes (long-term C and WRs beyond '22, CB1, SAF, DT), but this is only year two of the Tepper/Rhule era. Watson/CMC/Moton/Moore are young enough to hold the fort down while we continue to add pieces.

Because Bill O’Brian thought Tunsil and Stills was worth 2 1sts and Andre Hopkins was only worth a 4th and a bloated RB contract. He is one of the few GMs I would take Hurney over.

Definitely!  Not having to lose one of our best young players in Burns, CMC, or Brown and getting rid of Teddy would be a perfect scenario.  Losing the picks would suck, but like others said, secondary guys like Jamal Adams are being traded for 2 first round picks.  Trading 3 for a young, All-Pro caliber QB while still getting a 3rd rounder back is a no brainer.  Losing the second rounder would suck too, but 🤷🏻‍♂️ you gotta do what you gotta do.  After listening to what Rhule wants in his franchise QB, Watson fits the bill to a T

    • Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range. 
    • He's already said he's ok with them taking him and ready to get to work
    • That’s the Hornets problem in a nut shell. Can’t get the #1 pick EVER when a generational talent is in the draft then when they go the safe pick route it still doesn’t work out. Forget about drafting a raw developmental player because they have no history of being able to do that either.
