Both those teams have better, younger, cheaper QBs and better/more draft picks to offer. Our best chance at getting Deshaun was him refusing to play for Miami or NY

Yeah, honestly this isn't great news for us. I mean, it's completely expected since Miami was a pretty good team with shoddy QB play last year and NY is reportedly Watson's preferred destination, but both of those teams have far better trade bait to offer than we do.

3 first rounders keeps getting thrown around. I don't have a lot of faith in us drafting The Guy in that timeframe.

CMC was out for most of the season and we still managed 5 wins. The team is against tanking so we're not going to be like the Jets or Jags and positioned to get a top QB. And whether it's for Deshaun or a rookie it's set in stone that at LEAST one of our first rounders will be spent trying to get a quarterback. There's just a lot of uncertainty and things hurting our odds when it comes to drafting "The Guy" within the next three years, so I'd give away those picks in a heartbeat if it meant solving that dilemma.

You can build a team other ways besides the first round of the draft.

Not only that but the Panthers are a clear cut example of 1st rounders being overrated in a team dynamic alone. We hit on all of our first round picks, some of which are going into the HoF(Luke) or would have been a HoFer(Cam) and look how we turned out.

1st round picks cannot get it done alone and no team in the current era is getting it done without a QB. Those old but but but the Ravens and Tampa retorts are irrelevant anymore as that was a different NFL than todays NFL.

Yeah, this doesn’t bode well for us. Miami and the Jets can offer multiple 1’s this year and outbid us in terms of draft capital. Our best shot is if they want players as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to throw them Shaq, Jackson, and Teddy in a deal. 
 

We know any potential trade will be expensive, but with the supposed inclusion of Miami and NY, they can really outbid us with more immediate draft capital. For us to pull it off, it will mean losing a whole lot of our foundation, as well as picks. I’m willing to pay that cost for a QB though. That’s just me.

It's been previously reported that he'd be willing to waive the no-trade clause. 

A no-trade clause is of little value to a player that wants to leave under almost any circumstances.

Seems the factual part of Peter King's article from yesterday is pretty much being ignored:

"Over the weekend, two common themes emerged about Houston’s near future.

One: The Texans have one untouchable player, Watson, as of now. 

Two: Houston is not only not interested in trading Watson but also not interested in listening to offers for him. At least two teams have given offers to Houston and gotten zero feedback. Like, no reaction, no “We’ll get back to you.” Nothing.

I’m told he’s (Caserio) categorically opposed to trading Watson, period—either in the next nine weeks before the draft (when he’d clearly get the best deal to start the Texans’ post-Watson lives) or ever."

 

Despite constant day-in, day-out pressure it seems clear the Texans are not going to budge.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
