Huston is in a corner and no one wants to let the blame fall on them. Dude is going to have to holdout.

I think holding him to the draft to drive up cost is what's going on.

I'm very afraid we're falling into a trap to get robbed blind

That would be savy, something Hoston has not shown they are capable of.

New GM and HC are going to avoid it and Easterby will spin it to his advantage. It's all the makings of a train wreck. It might result in some fun friction but I still think Watson will have to sit to prove to that owner he can and will. Maybe the GM talks some sense into the owner but I'm not sure anything reasonable is possible with that much dysfunction.

Sure will be ironic if we end up trading up to #3. Then we'll know exactly what that win against the WFT cost us.

Every thread this is brought up I'm going to remind everyone that we lost to the F'n Broncos at home,  with Drew Lock throwing 4 TDs. That was an excellent loss. Why is no credit given there?  How about losing to the corpse of the Atlanta Falcons, also at home?

Oh, don't get it twisted. I put 95% of the blame for that situation on Rivera and his idiotic personnel decisions. If he plays Heinicke that full game we lose and we're sitting at #3. But, noooooo... he has to give Jamarcus Haskins a shot.

I would be wary about giving up too much to move up. Take Sewell or another top LT if all 4 are gone. Take a G/C in the second and extend Moton. Sign a Mitch or someone similar as a placeholder and then you can go all in next year with a solid offensive line for the rookie. Rattler, Howell, JT Daniels are 3 that should be in the draft next year that have some potential off the top of my head.

In reference to the QBs, I don't know if the HC and GM look at it like that. I don't necessarily think that they're just going to essentially say, "Let's take whoever is left," especially if the kid they really want is available at 2 or 3. Furthermore, they may not even believe in the guy that's left. If they can't get their guy, then they should probably trade down or go BPA.

I don't really believe Houston is trying to drive up the cost.

I genuinely believe they're going to fight tooth and nail not to trade Watson.

Whether or not that's the best course of action is debatable, but I do think that's what they'll do.

Reasonable, and what Breer said here makes me wonder if he believes we'll do that.

I know we're "in on every deal" but I don't really want us to be "in on" Darnold, and definitely not on Wentz.

I'm not scared by Darnold, if there are no other options...however, it's going to need to be no more than a 2, and I would probably be a little shy on that.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
